No Epting on this issue makes me sad, but D’Amarta does such a good job with the coloring the difference isn’t nearly as jarring as it could have been. Art wise nothing else to say so on with the writing and story.

As the second part of a three part story this issue does a nice job of advancing things along while still keeping me interested in the overall narrative. Getting to see Bucky and Natasha blow a bunch of stuff up always helps out too. Aside from bad-ass explosions what I have been enjoying is the ensemble cast work of this book, and while many fans have been going ape-shit over Brubaker’s Namor my favorite is still Black Widow. And what appears to be coming up next for her when the this arc wraps up, HOLY SHIT. Hopefully everyone who had been reading throughout the epic Death of Captain America saga stuck with this book because while the story has switched gears its still cruising right along.
