Captain America 5

Captain America continues to tangle with Bravo in the alternate world trading punches. In the real world Sharon Carter is confronting the Queen of hydra in a hostage situation with Jimmy Jupiter. In a bid to stop the Queen and foil her plans Sharon tried to save Jimmy but the Queen reacted by shooting Jimmy. The Queen slips away in the ensuing chaos. With his last dying breath Jimmy transferred Captain America and and Bravo back into the real world. Both still slugging it out but Bravo were soon overpowered by Falcon and Sharon.

The events put some doubts in Cap's mind about how he had failed America helped by Bravo's continuing insult of Cap's failure to right what is wrong with America today. Meanwhile the Queen have other plans for hydra and with Baron still in the frame. What the Baron is up to exactly here is not known but surely he will resurface few issues down the road. Not the end of the new villain the Queen. Overall plenty of action as always and two pencilers are at work here. So it is quite obvious to see the penciling differs from one page to the other especially in the final few pages. A solid ending to a story arc.
