Honestly I think three stars is over-rating it but I don't think it's the comics fault, or even the writers. This suffered because it was a bridge between Standoff and Secret Empire (two 'events') and needed Bucky to have a big revelation.

The artwork in the first issue is excellent and unfortunately it highlights the mediocre nature of the issues that follow.

Volume one had a great developing 'buddy' story between Abe and Erick and I'd hoped to see more of that but it was barely touched on in these issues.

As I said, the volume ends heading in into Secret Empire and with the series cancelled it leaves what happened to these characters (most of whom I'd come to care for) up in the air.
