   Agent Sharon Carter rides into Alberia with an escort, who she quickly surmises to not be very trustworthy. Meanwhile, Steve Rogers continues his recon, listening to average Americans bemoan life after Hydra. But the Power Elite still works behind the scenes to keep things going.

Yep!

   In Wakanda, T'Chala and Cap talk shop. Thanks to their intelligence, they've identified a few people seemingly pulling the strings. One of them is Zeke Stane - a bioengineer who's helping to reproduce the Nuke clones.

Wait.. wait.. The guys name is STAIN?! HAHAHAHAHA! Ok. Sorry, T'Challa.

   Cap, Black Panther, and Okoye raid the mine where the clones attack them. Essentially being created as soft targets, T'challa is able to engineer a virus that kills the clones rather quickly. They finally set eyes on Stane and fight the rest of the Nukes who eventually burn out. 

Bet it stinks in there.

   The issue wraps with Okoye breaking into the lab and doing some digging when she discovers something terrible. Agent 13 is in trouble. What kind of trouble exactly? Selene the External dines on the driver the Agent had been holding at gunpoint. But what will happen next? We'll have to wait to find out as this issue is left to be continued.

Seline was hotter in Cable a few issues back.

   One of the cool things about this particular iteration of Captain America is that it’s written by the son of a one-time actual Black Panther, a national correspondent for the Atlantic, and a visiting professor at MIT. It’s penciled by a Filipino who considers his work “Dynamic Psuedo-Realism”. What am I getting at here? Well.. I don’t know if anything is more American than a mixing pot like that. This series is grade A good, and I can only hope Marvel is able to keep the band together for awhile on this one. I give this issue a 10/10.
