Winter Solider #13 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

This issue is mostly interesting as an excellent example of Brubaker's ear for dialogue and his amazing use of it as a way to make you feel like you're a fly on the wall.  Bucky, Cap, Daredevil, Hawkeye, Wolverine:  we're talking about some of the more iconic Marvel characters.  But, Brubaker throws them all together here in a way that feels fresh, showing how their fraying nerves are bringing out their worst traits as they get increasingly desperate in their search for the Black Widow.  In terms of the action, however, we don't really see the plot advance all that much, since I'm pretty sure that no one expected Bucky to kill Daredevil.  So, I'm now just left eagerly awaiting the denouement in Brubaker's final issue.  Nervous, I am.
