4.0

Only Brubaker could have almost two full issues without Captain American there after the comic being CALLED Captain America.

Saying that, it works for the most part. This gives a big look into Crossbones, a crazy piece of shit, and his new girlfriend Sin (Who is Red Skull's daughter). Together they begin their spree into murdering people and stealing shit. Getting Caps attention and doing horrible things. The 2nd half is Cap and his girl going off to find Bucky while also trying to stay on Crossbones trail.

This isn't as big and epic as Winter Solider storyline but it works in a lot of ways. Basically giving us a deep look into the villains as well as a more laid back Steve. The relationships are meshed well and show the contrast between a somewhat healthy one and an insane one. On top of that the ending build up is pretty great. The one off backstory is okay, not really that interesting, but for Bucky fans it's worth reading. A 3.5-4 out of 5.
