    Two words: Moon Knight

    Steve Rogers leads a super secret team, against the Shadow Council.
     
    The Good: I loved the first few issues of this series. However, once the current story arc started it kind of lost my interest. It was good enough to read, but not great. All that changed with this issue. I really enjoyed it. We get the return of John Steele in Steve's life as an opposing threat, and let me just say that he makes a perfect opponent for Steve Rogers. He isn't someone Steve will be able to just push around. Brubaker know what he's doing with each character and keeps things interesting in this issue. From conversation to fight scenes, it is all thrilling. Deodato's art style is perfect for the tone of the book, in my opinion. When we see  the action, it feels great. It feels real, like each punch and kick thrown has weight behind it and it looks like it hurts. Also, it's worth reading through this issue just to get to the last page. Trust me.
     
    The Bad: I can't say I have anything negative to comment on this issue. However, I don't find Shang Chi very interesting. 
     
    Over the last few issues I was starting to feel like I could go on without this comic, but Brubaker has really pulled me in with just a single issue. The combination of both writer and artists is fantastic and I can't wait for the following issue. And where's Moon Knight you might ask? Well, just go on ahead and read this.
     
     
    The format is not my own and I give all credit to Comic Vine. Thank you.

      Steele works 0

      After floundering a little for two issues this story arc gets itself back on its feet here and provides a good lead-in to the finale.  As with the rest of the series the story here substitutes plot for a lot of action, but what plot there is a quite well handled, the sparring between Steve and Shang Chi, the discussion between Max and Sharon and the faceoff between Steve and John Steele.  The action is well handled, but it is the smaller nuances and setup which elevates this above the previous e...
