Well this is the second last issue of Captain America before being relaunched to coincide with the release of the big budget Captain America movie this summer. Which is just 2 weeks away. This is the final chapter of the story arc Gulag. Bucky Barnes still the Captain America is still trapped and imprisoned at the Russian Siberian Gulag because of his previous crimes as the Winter Soldier. The fist party of the story revolves around Barnes attempt at escaping the gulag and the Black Widow going to the gulag to free Barnes.
Barnes is being tortured and thrown into fights ala gladiator style. But luck is on his side as he faced the final biggest baddest opponent with the name of Unicorn. Apparently the guy has extra eye on the middle of his head that shoots lasers and Barnes seized on that opportunity to use the lasers to blow up the gulag to engineer his escape. Some shots hit gas pipes and the whole thing blows up giving Barnes the cover to escape.
With the help of Black Widow Barnes managed to escape the gulag in the end.
Meanwhile on the other side of the globe the original Captain America stopped some Soviet sleeper agents and dismantled them. Then the prelude to the handling of the Cpatain America mantle from Barnes to Rogers the president is in agrement that Barnes can't continue to be Captain America anymore because of the many scandals of him breaking out of the gulag and his crimes as winter soldier. So technically this is the issue that finally confirms that Rogers will get to be Captain America again. So a new relaunched issue of Captain America is on the cards.
Notable events: Rogers gains back the Captain America title.
