The thugs are too worried about the rice-Veneno must really like his rice-because they don’t notice their captive preparing to attack, much less the explosive Frank planted on the shield.Ĭap takes advantage of the shield’s ricochet to sever the chain linking him to the ceiling… While the men prepare to kill Cap with a sack of rice, the shield flies into the room, distracting them enough for Cap to “disarm” their weapon. (If you’re old like me, you’ll remember the Vidal Sassoon commercials the thug is quoting above.) Once he knows help is on the way, Cap decides to unmute his comments, and gets a chance to sit down, taking the strain off his wrists, arms, and shoulders. He hears a covert signal from the friend, and remembers how he first learned to decipher it. Let’s turn to Cap, who’s hanging out with a few of Navatilas’ men, reflecting on the irony that he’s fighting for the well-being of the US and Medisuela, and being persecuted for it by leaders of both.Īnd in great pain, I should add-although he’ll never show it, as revealed by his smirk below as he silently mocks his torturers. They didn’t find Frank, though, who we see below making good use of the mighty shield-which Cap tossed to him just before the explosion, saving his life while exposing himself to the blast. Just as the first issue ended with Frank (unsuccessfully) assassinating Cap, the second issue ended with General Navatilas, the dictator of the fictional South American country Medisuela, and his co-conspirator, the United States attorney general Roger Mollech, preparing to execute Cap, whom they captured after he and Frank were caught in an explosion. This issue concludes the miniseries that brings Captain America and the Punisher together for the first time as partners, to combat a government conspiracy involving money, drugs, guns, and fascism abroad and at home.
