(Sept. 2003) Script:
Chuck Austen. Art: Christian Moore. The USWM
team is returning from their [botched] mission of retrieving those missing
nukes. Also arriving on the SHIELD
Helicarrier is “Star One” – aka Captain
America!! In this universe, however, Cap is none
other than Bucky Barnes…who
apparently was rescued by Steve Rogers
on that fateful plane, while Rogers was the one who perished. Cap (and his team,
which includes, it seems, Sam Wilson
– Falcon – and Clint
Barton – Hawkeye),
like the USWM team, was also after some missing nukes, and they failed too! Wow!
Eventually, intel gets something on the nukes Rhodes and co. let get away, and
Fury orders Cap and the USWM squad to join forces in a retrieval attempt. But
– as both groups get ready to depart, Cap notices some incoming figures
approaching the Helicarrier – figures that can’t be seen on radar! Lo and
behold it’s Iron Man
– along with three other armored figures (Happy
Hogan, Bethany Cabe and Eddie
[March?]). The last splash page is the ultimate
preface: IM simply
says, “Hello gentlemen. I’ve come for my things.” Yowzah!
One fairly big-sized complaint about this ish, though: Cap’s head-gear is
simply horrendous!! Yuck!
Hube’s
Recommendation: 
½ USWM patches!
