The section of the book which deals with Captain America is less substantial, and functions as more of a reprise of the core arguments of Civil War than an important continuation of the story. There's some of the usual Bendis banter, despite the seriousness of the subject matter, but the writer fails to really get inside the head of Rogers in the same way that he attempts to do with Stark. Alex Maleev's art manages to keep things interesting throughout, and his style seems to be becoming more refined, detailed and layered than ever (with suitably sophisticated colouring to boot), but other than the pretty visuals and a couple of interesting interactions between the two main characters, there's not a huge amount that's compelling here. This is a quiet moment of contemplation after the storm, which shows up the flaws in both sides' approach to the Civil War, but doesn't really contain enough substance to justify its special one-shot status.

I didnt enjoy this issue, but I have to admit it was needed, and fulfilled its role as a painful coda.
