The Brube is writing some of the best seventies-Marvel super-spy stuff I've read in ages. Robot arms, Arnim Zola, AIM agents, mind control.... it's really spectacularly fun.

The Rooskies brainwashed him, gave him some prosthetics, but he got better. Call him Captain Manchuria. Or Cable, Jr. Or maybe he's a clone of Bucky's and Lady Liberty's son from another timeline, engineered by AIM using Skrull technology, a cosmic cube, and a Hostess Twinkie. Remember the map from Duck Dodgers? Yeah, Marvel uses a 3D version. Yeah, Bucky’s alive. The Rooskies brainwashed him, gave him some prosthetics, but he got better. Call him Captain Manchuria.

He knows how to kill, yet uses a defensive weapon to disarm his foes. Heroes do not kill. They stare into the abyss, they enter the abyss like Orpheus, they may suffer and struggle as they wander through darkness and despair, but no matter the loss or tragedy, they remain heroes upon their return. The best of us not only struggle with adversity, but show us that we, too, can overcome that which we thought impossible. Sir Edmund Hillary and Steve Rogers showed us the way. Who will lead us now? And down which path? Captain America is a physical and symbolic ideal. He knows how to kill, yet uses a defensive weapon to disarm his foes. Heroes do not kill.
