Fred Dav...Agreed on everything you said there, JW. Fred Davis dying SHOCKED me! It's exactly like you put, if Brubaker hadn't used Fred in Cap and Bucky(was that is last arc on that series? I think he still may be a advisor for the series) his death wouldn't have meant much besides, "Oh, that old Bucky nobody knows anything about died... Meh." For my money NOBODY can set stories up like Brubaker. That's why even though this series started off a bit slow-ish, I knew it would be awesome by issue 5 or 6, and sure enough, that's what's happened. I also like that we both exclaimed, "No, not Fred!" Poor Fred... Here's hoping Leo has a long shelf-life as Bucky's arch-nemesis.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-28906322951017369032012-06-23T16:32:17.745-04:002012-06-23T16:32:17.745-04:00The Fred Davis part was brilliant. I mean, I'...The Fred Davis part was brilliant. I mean, I've got to assume that Brubaker has been planning this arc for months, which is why he re-introduced Davis in "Captain America and..." If he hadn't, I would've been like, "Fred who?" Instead, when Natasha said, "I'm sorry," I was like, "NO! NOT FRED!" Awesome. He and Dan Slott are just so good at setting up these stories, where you feel like everything from the past stays in play. Also, totally agree about Leo becoming Bucky's archnemesis. It didn't dawn on me until you mentioned it, but it makes sense that Brubaker would introduce the other two to set the stage, but save the third for his own personna. Awesome. Amazing issue.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384937330661711685noreply@blogger.com
