The whole "give Liberty a black-eye" thing didn't entirely make sense to me, I mean not that I was pulling for Sin, and I guess it does serve it's purpose symbolically in the end, but wouldn't it have been even more of a statement to have blown the whole thing up?

Glad Falcon echoed my sentiment about Bucky's actions, but he did save the day.  But again, how do we know entirely that he didn't leave custody on the suggestion of Dr. Faustus?  Was a question I raised last issue, but it turned out to benefit Bucky's case in the long-run, but that was up in the air until the last minute.  Maybe it was a miscalculation on Faustus' part, he thought that it would eventually hurt him in court to do that.  If I was Faustus, I woulda tried hypnotizing the judge instead. 

Captain Steve drop-kicking in to Bucky's rescue against Master Man was sweet, and was effective in reminding you how vulnerable Bucky really is as a normal but above-average kinda guy, and that Steve is still a super-soldier, able to hold his own against enhanced speed and strength.

Guice's Steve Ditko-esque work was a throwback and a pleasure, thought this effort in particular was excellent.
