Bullets of Steele
As Brubaker starts to assimilate more the characters, making they interact and create some roots per say, Deodato continues to feel very chill and easy penciling Marvel´s Top Cat and his shadow agents. The perspective of this book is very interesting, since it´s a shadow war: the Shadow Council (who´s planning something major and vile) and Secret Avengers (whose leader isn´t working straight from the book, boy´s scout and walking the complete righteous path of Captain America anymore), the first trying to dominate the world and the second trying to prevent this from happening whitout no one knowing about it. This potential conflict in Rogers emblematic figure is quite new and I guess no one but Brubaker is fit for this task, of writing new paths for Steve: not bad, not devoided of morals, a hero, but with more flexible rules, since he´s now in Fury´s shoes. A good thing about this new arc is that the members of Secret Avengers are getting loose, like Ant Man is trying to show more and Valkyrie is showing some skills. I´m still not 100% confident about this book, specially it´s members, but Brubaker´s narrative and Deodato´s art (along with Beredo´s colors) are something that´s hard to miss.
