meganbmooreMyeh. Was too busy reading and being cold to remember to take notes for each issue as I went.
So, Sharon lost the baby but is back with SHIELD, Bucky and Black Widow are officially A Thing, Dr. Faustus sorta saved the day, Red Skull is trapped in Arnim Zola’s body, and 50s!Cap is running around the US.
Despite the fact that most comic book babies tend to be huge hindrances to storytelling, I’m rather disappointed Sharon lost the baby. Then again, we’ve seen fetuses taken from wombs and artificially incubated how many times? It would fit in nicely with Faustus bringing down Red Skull’s operation and going missing, and explain his making Sharon forget about the baby. That, and I don’t really want him to not have an ulterior motive for all that.
Really, I’m not fond of Sharon not remembering her pregnancy, as that just promises more trauma in the future, but at least Red Skull isn’t in her head, which I was worried about until the last page. The woman needs a break already. Hopefully, Falcon’s “taking care of her” won’t involve Bucky until Bucky learns how to say “Sharon” or “Agent Carter” instead of “Steve’s girl.” (Bucky means well, but that habit needs to go.)
50s!Cap being on the loose and putting his head back together pretty nicely mirrors the earlier situation with Bucky and Cap. Hopefully, it’ll be followed up on, instead of his disappearing into limbo. I’m liking the developing friendship between Bucky and Falcon, but hope the sailing there isn’t too smooth.
I’m getting used to the idea of Bucky and Captain America, but I’d still rather have Bucky trying to earn redemption and make his way independent of the Captain America legacy, and have Steve Rogers back. Also, U.S. Agent needs to make his opinion on Bucky!Cap known.
