    Both Marco Rudy and Langdon Fosss art is immediately eye-catching, standing out from the Marvel pack. Fosss figures are standard, but his page composition plays beautifully with Kots prose. On the other side of things, Rudys experimental, painted pages are dense and powerful. His action is more coherent than pervious issues, making Crossbones assault exciting and dangerous.

    The comic has a good finale, and one that definitely will bring me back to find out what happened, but the art needs some sharpening if the story is going to rely so heavily on action. Plus, I'd like to think that Bucky isn't as easily fooled as he is in this issue. The man basically figured out Nick Fury's secret in Original Sin when no other characters had any idea, so we know he's not easily duped. Plus, I have an easier time accepting a Bucky Barnes in love than a Bucky Barnes in the dark. Read Full Review
