Brubaker’s run has obviously been incredible, but even its biggest fans such as myself have at times been a little annoyed by the slow pacing. In this issue fists are flying pretty much non-stop which is not necessarily my style, but it works for this book after a number of excellent but relatively slow installments. As you can see from the cover this is the issue where we finally get the big Cap vs. Cap showdown. These scenes were really well done, and I look forward to seeing the next interaction between these two. However, what I enjoyed the most in this issue were the other two fights, one physical and one verbal. Like last issue, Sharon and Sin stole the show for me, but the arguments amongst the trio of villains were great too. This whole big storyline is coming to a close with #42 in September so were are likely to see some fireworks, but we can’t be sure just yet of which players in this game will be fighting it out. Before that though we have to see how Brubaker handles the big cliffhanger he gives us on the last page. Needless to say Steve Epting drew the hell out of this book.
