There's an up side and a down side to this issue. On the up side . . we get to see how Steve makes his way out of this mess, and how he ends up beating the Red Skull. I mean . . going in to it, we don't know that . . yet. But . . we do. You know what I mean. But it's still going to be fun to see how he does it. However, on the down side . . we already know that Steve's going to make it through this debacle . . because of his various appearances across the Marvel Universe, in various books. We know that he's going to come out the other side and be back to his former glory. He's not necessarily going to be 'Captain America' right away . . he doesn't want to step on Bucky's toes,
but . . you know eventually he's going to end up back in the uniform. However, that being said . . there's also a lot of
pluses to this book. First of all we get a beautiful gate-gold cover by Bryan Hitch. Not to mention all the variants. We get to see the great fight between Steve and the Red Skull. Not to mention that it looks like as a result of this story . . the Red Skull may be dead. Maybe! We don't know that for sure. All we know is that his essence is
transferred into a robot, and then that robot is taken out. So . . unless he had another container ready . . he appears to be gone. However . . during the fight, his daughter, Sin, is hurt and maimed. Her face is deformed and burned. So maybe . . from the looks of things, maybe she's the new Red Skull. We'll have to wait for further developments to know that for sure,
though. Also . . something to think about . . who's to say . . since the Red Skull had basically invaded Steve's psyche . . who's to say there's not a portion of him still in there? We get to see the romantic reunion of Steve and Sharon. It looks like he's going to forgive her for what has transpired, and they're going to grow old together. Or, at least she will. However, Steve is also plagued by the visions of the future that he
received. '
What I saw when they were pulling me back through time . . it was like split seconds of . . my future? Or was it my possible futures? More than one. I saw me and Sharon together. With children . . a long life . . happiness. But I saw something else, too. Something awful . . which of these futures is true? Are they both true? Can they be? Or is it some kind of warning? And if it is, how do I fight the future?' All in all I thought this was a fantastic series. Bryan's art really set the mood for things, but Ed
Brubaker's story was brilliant. Plus . . Steve's just such an iconic character that it's great to see him come out on top, and have him back in the picture again. I'd say that this series was a great success. Even if the timing was a little off.
