The story picks up right where the last issue left off: Captain America is battling the Ameridroid (a giant robot with the brain of a crazy scientist, made to look like Captain America) while Sharon Carter has her own hands full with Baron Zemo. Meanwhile, Codename: Bravo and his mysterious lady friend continue to work behind the scenes using the comatose Jimmy Jupiter to play havoc with reality and pull a certain patriotic super-soldier into the dream world.
Writer Ed Brubaker does a good job explaining the Ameridroid without pausing the action. And even if the character is insanely goofy, it works well as a real threat to Cap. The fight between Agent 13 and Zemo isn't quite as exciting but it does allow Sharon to get a couple zingers at Zemo's expense. (I also liked Sharon's attempt to throw Cap his sheild, which, of course, doesn't go exactly as planned).
With Cap locked in the dreamworld for the next issue I'm assuming the craziness seen here is only the beginning. Worth a look.
