Synopsis for the 1st Story
Aleksander Lukin is back in New York, ready to use his partially enabled cosmic cube to conduct a takeover of the Roxxon Oil conglomerate. But before commencing with business, he places a call to Crossbones to take care of Captain America.
Meanwhile, Nick Fury calls Agent-13 in for an important meeting. He tells her that S.H.I.E.L.D. has located the weapon used to assassinate the Red Skull. The fingerprints on the weapon belong to Jack Munroe, a former Bucky who also partnered himself with Captain America as Nomad. Fury tells Sharon that a GPS chip has been implanted in Jack's body and that she is to track him down.
Captain America meanwhile goes to Arlington Cemetery where he discovers that the headstones belonging to William Naslund and Jeffrey Mace, two former Captain Americas have been vandalized. Leaving the cemetery he runs afoul of Crossbones. Believing Crossbones to be responsible for the vandalism, he attacks him. The two fight, but Cap's game is thrown off by another barrage of flashbacks involving Bucky and Baron Zemo. Crossbones beats him down, but has no desire to finish Cap off while he is in such a state. He does however, admit to having nothing to do with the damaged gravestones at Arlington.
In Philadelphia, Agent-13 sneaks into Jack Munroe's apartment. As she enters the room, Jack's body falls on top of her. Somebody hits Agent-13 from behind knocking her out.
Notes
- This issue is reprinted in Captain America: Winter Soldier (Volume 1).
- Artist Michael Lark does the penciling on the flashback sequences only (Pages 7.8, 10, 12 and two panels of pages 12, 14, 16-18).
- William Nasland was a World War II era hero originally known as the Spirit of '76. His earliest chronological appearance was in Invaders (Volume 1) #14, but his first modern appearance was in What If (Volume 1) #4. After Captain America and Bucky disappeared at the close of World War II, William retired as the Spirit of '76 and became the second Captain America. He took on Fred Davis as the second Bucky.
- Jeffrey Mace was a World War II era hero originally known as the Patriot. His earliest modern chronological appearance was in Marvel Premiere #29. After a robot called Adam II killed William Naslund, the second Captain America, Jeffrey Mace decided to retire as the Patriot to pick up the mantle and become the 3rd Captain America. Fred Davis continued to serve at his side as Bucky II. Captain America III's final appearance was in Captain America (Volume 1) #284.
- Jeffrey Mace is an actual Golden Age hero of the 1940's. He debuted in Comics: Human Torch Comics Vol 1 4. He later appeared in numerous back up features in Marvel Mystery Comics. When Mace re-entered the Marvel Universe in Marvel Premiere #29 his uniform was modified to include long pants and one distinct helmet. His new look was designed by Roy Thomas and Don Heck.
- Spirit of '76 was a 1970's creation of Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins. Although he is quite similar to the Fawcett Comics Golden Age Hero: "Fighting Yank", he is not a Golden Age Marvel character.
- Images are shown in this issue of the recently deceased Jack Monroe, the Falcon, and John F. Kennedy
