She's actually the one to notice the attack on Times Square and immediately recognizes that the tower and army belong to her father. We see Arnim Zola at the helm of his ship/tower thing talking to the dreaded Red Skull and his deadly S-Men. We learn that Zola has some tricks up his sleeve and is very confident that he doesn't work FOR the Red Skull, but WITH him. They both need something from each other, so I'm stoked to know Zola is gonna get wrecked later since remember Skull has the powers of both Charles Xavier AND Onslaught. I know, it can get tough, keep up with me here. Steve makes his way to gather the Avengers as the attack on New York continues but he's only able to find Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk. But that may just be more than enough for them. Everyone's got their secrets, and there's something that only Rogers and Banner know, purposely keeping it from Tony, but I'm sure it'll all fall into the plan later in another couple issues. The Avengers have Assembled and nothing is going to take their home city from them.
Remender is setting himself up for another big arc and there's only one question on my mind, how the hell is Captain America going to get himself out of this one alive?! He's old, tired, weak, and Marvel has even confirmed that someone else is going to be picking up the shield for a bit. But who will it be this time? And what does that mean for Steve Rogers seeing that he'll be alive for this rotation? My money's on a winged helper, but we'll just have to wait and see. I really liked this issue, there wasn't a lot of action but it truly build up the plot in a great way. We also get to see that even in old age, Steve is still passionate about the things he loves and believes in. I'm anxious to see where this is going to end up, seeing that Zola was supposed to be dead and left behind in Dimension Z. I wanna know how the hell he's alive, how the hell he made it to earth and how the hell don't all these books that feature all these heroes clash with each other?! Ok so maybe that last one isn't something that Rick can answer for me, but a boy can dream. Until next week!
