I would really have loved this comic if it were not for a couple of irritating details. Why does Pete Wisdom refer to Nextin as a pharmaceutical firm that has mainly done research? No pharmaceutical company is in business only to do research. They do research to develop products that they can sell. Sometimes it seems that comic book writers don’t understand the business world or read the papers. Secondly, why does Wisdom caution that he is not authorized to give Steve Rogers the information that he shares? In the real world, the U.S. and U.K. would tend to share intelligence, especially when both countries are threatened. Of course, it could be that Pete Wisdom is trying to manipulate Steve or that Wisdom is not the real Wisdom. In that case, I rescind my criticism. The story does contain a couple of intriguing plot twists in the mystery woman, and the scientist who does not appear to be the bad guy Steve was lead to believe he was.
The real treat in this comic is the absolutely gorgeous art from Dale Eaglesham. Steve looks properly muscular and hulking. I liked the new costume before, but it looks really great when Eaglesham draws it, even the red striped pants.
Art: 5 - Excellent
Keep in mind this is the Marvel Universe. In the wake of Osborn tensions between the US and UK would be a bit strained to say the least. And as far as the corporate angle, if this company were a "think tank" and a subsidiary of a ROXXON or such it might be independent of it’s marketing and distribution due to angles with the F.D.A. and other "policing" agencies. This is a fictional world where guys swing hammers and claim to be goda and stuff, our rules don’t always apply.
I can’t fault Brubaker on that stuff because I am visiting his world here. I do know Steve Rogers is astonishingly effective under his pen. Eaglesham is doing work here and in FF that IMO is the best stuff Marvel has unleashed in years.
I hope I have said something that will allow you to reread this and enjoy it a bit more.
Intelligence agencies do not share all information with each other, even among allies. And not everyone within an intelligence agency is authorized to share information with foreign agents, even among allies.
Yeah,Dale Eaglesham does draw a paticuraly awesome Cap…. Or Steve I guess.
