Captain America and the Falcon #189
Title: Arena for a Fallen Hero!
Writer: Tony Isabella
Artist: Frank Robbins
Villain: Deadly Nightshade
Guests: Val de Fontaine
Yet another writer? Tony Isabella is the second new writer in three issues.
The series is taking a while to settle after Steve Englehart's sudden
departure. Or maybe the series is being allowed to simmer because a big new
writer is planned to arrive in Captin America and the Falcon #192. I shan't
give it away yet.
Captain America arrives in the SHIELD base where the Falcon is being held.
Jeff Cochren, the acting director of SHIELD in Nick Fury's absence, tells him
that there's only one way to find out what the Falcon's true nature is:
Captain America has to fight him to the death.
At first Cap refuses. Then he sees the Red Skull standing before him. He hits
the Red Skull, and the Falcon falls to the ground.
One by one, Captain America sees his greatest enemies attacking him. Whenever
he hits one of them, the Falcon falls over. He suspects that're visions
created by Dr. Faustus, but he also feels real laser blasts, so he can't
afford to stop fighting. Val de Fontaine and Eric Koenig realise that
something's wrong, so they knock Jeff Cochren out.
The Falcon snaps out of his coma, but he only remembers his life before the
Red Skull changed him. Captain America hits him again, thinking he's Baron
Zemo. After a short fight, the Falcon realises what's happening. He says he
can only vaguely remember what he's been doing for the last six years, as if
it's a dream.
Before the Falcon awoke, the Enchantress was kissing Captin America. He thinks
she might have been real, so he looks around for her. She wasn't real. He was
kissing Nightshade, last seen as a queen of werewolves in
Captain America and the Falcon #164. She now calls herself Deadly Nightshade. Tony Isabella has a lot of
explaining to do next issue.
