I wonder who won this bike? It was on the covers of all the books for months. Get used to seeing it for awhile. So, continuing from last issue, Cap & Spidey are still falling out of a flying mountain while Nick Fury is strapped to a nuke headed for Washington, DC. Spider-Man\u2019s never died from falling out of the sky before, though, and he\u2019s not about to start now:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not content to just let Cap fall to his death, SULTAN sends his robots down after him. Cap has a pretty spectacular aerial battle with them while pontificating about how much cooler it is to be a person than a robot\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then he wrestles the jetpack off one of the robots and flies back up, still constantly<\/em> referencing WWII for some reason. How long was David Anthony Kraft on this book? This is miserable. Hey, we should check in with Nick Fury, flying to his death on a nuclear missile.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nick manages to get inside the giant missile, and then HE starts making WWII references, too, until he finds out the truth: The missile is a decoy. The real bomb is the entire flying island itself. Still dangling from which, the unconscious Spider-Man finally lets go of his web, but is swept up by Cap. He flies them back into the flying mountain, and it\u2019s once again time for battle. And if you think the barely relevant WWII references are over, think again!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cap\u2019s like a kid who just learned a new word and can\u2019t stop saying it. Everyone is familiar with WWII, dude, you don\u2019t have to keep giving all these lectures. He shatters the power pack on SULTAN\u2019s back, taking him out of the fight, but a tiny device flies out of his mechanical body and out of the mountain. To Cap\u2019s surprise, the SULTAN appears to be dead, and as a result, the robots have stopped attacking, and now it seems like the mountain is about to explode. Cap flies them out with his jetpack, but it turns out the mountain was just deploying some new thrusters to go faster. Meanwhile, as Cap has previously mentioned while stealing it, the jetpack can\u2019t hold 2 people aloft, so the heroes crash land in the forest below. They\u2019re trying to decide what to do next when it becomes obvious.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cap & Spidey get to doing their thing, but then it looks like DC gets hit by the nuke in the distance. Cap is enraged, but SULTAN overpowers him. It\u2019s his bad luck that he chose sonic blasts as his weapon of choice, though, as Cap gets his vibranium shield in front of him and causes his weapons to feedback into him. Once again, the tiny device flies out of him to seek another robot body\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And so the day is saved\u2026 by Nick Fury & SHIELD. Cap & Spidey fought a good fight, but they didn\u2019t really do anything to stop the missiles or even SULTAN, in the end. Pretty odd story, all told.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it turns out David Anthony Kraft was just filling in during the run of JM DeMatteis on these 2 issues. That\u2019s good news. I feel like the series would\u2019ve been cancelled if this version of Captain America went on much longer. How frustrating, too, to have such an unbearable script over prime Mike Zeck drawing two of Marvel\u2019s greatest in action. Oh, well. Can\u2019t win \u2018em all.
