This issue of Captain America features another solid Ed Brubaker script that naturally divides into three acts.  In the first act, Bucky Cap and Black Widow battle and defeat a new, lady Beetle.  In the second act, they interrogate her, and in the third act Cap and Widow discover the true nature of the threat that they face.  Baron Zemo has decided to destroy Bucky Cap by revealing to the world that Bucky was once the Winter Soldier.  I’m not so sure that Zemo’s nefarious plot is going to work, since the world knows that Bucky is a WW II hero, and Steve Rogers will inevitably vouch for him, but we will see what develops.  As usual, Brubaker sprinkles well written dialogue and character interaction throughout the comic.  Part of Brubaker’s impressive accomplishment with this title is that he has developed a great supporting cast.  Is it my imagination, or does it tend to rain a lot in “Captain America,” including in this issue?  I guess the rain is meant to convey a darker tone.   The art team’s work on this issue is terrific.  The action scenes are fluid and sexy with athletic bodies in motion.  During her interrogation, the lady Beetle is given suitably crazy expressions. 

            Guess what?  Sean McKeever’s “Nomad” backup has developed into interesting reading during the last several issues.  Rikki is experiencing grinding poverty of the sort that young Peter Parker didn’t suffer even in his worst nightmares.  In the last story arc, Nomad defeated a creepy serial killer who locked her in his basement along with the corpses of his other victims.  In this issue, it looks like Rikki’s luck is about to change in a manner that may seem a bit deus ex machina, but I am willing to keep reading to see what happens.
