The primary failure of this arc is that it is straightforward storytelling. There are no more subplots, no loose threads that are being built up issue by issue for a pay-off in the near future or being developed to becoming the main arc and that, I think is an indication that Brubaker is either running out of steam or preparing the way for the next writer by not leaving too many things for next fellow to cope withWhatever the reasons, it makes one feel a little less excited by the tale because good Marvel tales have always had a fair share of subplots
In this particular issue, this is apparent. We get to see Bucky and Falcon doing their thing thinking they are smart. In their civilian guises, they pretended to be infiltrating the villain's lair while in their superhero costumes, they barged headlong and tried to take them down never realizing that fake Cap has known about their dual identities all along and is actually stringing them on. They deserved it - the arrogant pricks. Hahaha!
What is cool is that they forgot this is one Cap who is even faster and stronger than the original. This means when they faced each other, mano a mano, this Cap can beat the tar out of Bucky or Falcon and our pals got a taste of this bitter medicine in this issue
