I got on board with issue #34 and have loving everything
Brubaker has done so far. The last six issues the bad guys were winning.
Everything Bucky did seemed to be in vain. The Red Skull has the United
States by the balls and there is nothing we
can do. Or is there?
#40 starts with a bang. The fight begins with Bucky going
through a window, and gets more intense with every punch thrown. Buckys’
thoughts remind us of how he is inexperienced but also how determined he is. The
fake-Cap is strong and pissed; confused really. The whole fight scene
exemplifies the power of the Red Skull. He is pulling everyone’s strings so
well.
The parts with Sharon
were tough to read. I really felt the emotion behind all of this. The pregnant
woman held hostage, and the psychotic woman who puts a knife in her stomach. *shivers*
What is really special about this issue is that the Red
Skull and his men actually begin to worry. Faustus, Zola, and the Skull begin
to blame each other for Bucky’s attempts to reason with the fake-Cap. Watching
the bad guys point figures at each other was awesome. Plus when the Skull
slapped his daughter… ohhhhh, diabolical!
What a great issue. Can anyone tell me about Von Doom’s
device?
