A pretty enjoyable volume. I don't love how outrageous Zemo was. It wasn't really intimidating or frightening, just kind of laughable.

Anyway, I loved Bucky and Sam's scenes together. This was a volume of both of them worrying about each and, as always, I adore their partnership. I really can't wait to see this come to life in the upcoming TV show.

Steve appears, but he's not super personable. He seemed a bit stiff. Natasha's dialogue didn't seem like her at all. She does several kick ass things but, I didn't really read "Natasha" in her scenes. It was odd.

Anyway, pretty solid volume.

i feel like Zemo's motivation was kinda stupid? but i enjoyed the Nomad stories at the end of each issue.

Not as strong as some of the other story arcs, and the first few issues dragged. It became old that Bucky kept charging into situations, reminiscent of female characters in urban fantasy series, especially since Bucky is supposed to be a stealthy dude, but the payoff was good. I liked the exploration of Bucky's past and his determination to live up to the shield. I'm a sucker for a redemption hero story.

One of my favorite Cap stories I've read this year! (Spoilers: it's because it's about Bucky Barnes reconciling his past. I am predictable.)

I continue to love every interaction between Bucky and Sam. They are A+.

I didn't expect to care about a Baron Zemo orchestrated plot after the mess that was Captain America: Civil War, but I actually do here. As Bucky is still struggling with having to kill 1950s Cap, Zemo learns Bucky is not only alive but also Captain America and decides kill him (but ruin his life first).

I will always love Steve, Bucky, Sam, and Natasha together in anything. I love seeing Sam and Steve worried about the pressure being Captain America is putting on Bucky. I love seeing Bucky still dealing with that weight and reconciling it with his past as the Winter Solider. This is a great set up for Bucky dealing with that publicly after his identity and past is revealed.

I guess I don't have to explain that Ed Brubaker writing Captain America is pretty great; despite this not being one of his best works, it's still pretty good.
