Best Cap in Years!,
By
This review is from: Captain America Vol. 1: Winter Soldier, Book One (Hardcover)
This book is, bar none, the best Captain America book in a long while. Plot twists aside, if you have ever thought about picking up Captain America, or coming back to Captain America this book is for you. Brubaker weaves a twisting tail of corruption and espionage on par with Clancy that is very much rooted in the history and mythos of the Marvel Universe reaching back into World War II. You would enjoy this book if you are fan of comics or a fan of TV shows such as 24 or Band of Brothers or anything written by Clancy. Its also a great jumping on point for new comic readers who may be curious about Captain America, SHEILD, Hydra or AIM and the dark corner of the Marvel Universe in which they operate!

Captain America As He Should Be,
By
This review is from: Captain America Vol. 1: Winter Soldier, Book One (Hardcover)
This is a great story. Cap is more of a war-time hero/soldier then the goody-two-shoes hero I seem to remember. He is fighting the war on terror and has no mercy for the terrorists. He shows no remorse in the death of two and threatens death to a third if he does not defuse a bomb on a train. He also does not just rely solely on his shield. He has a utility belt of sorts which includes explosives. I was a long-time cap fan years ago and actually like what they've done with Bucky/Winter Soldier. I didn't like Brubaker killing off the Red Skull, but I'm sure he'll be back. My only regret is that it is only the first six issues and the story arc is not complete.

new to captain america,
By Speer (Honea Path, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captain America Vol. 1: Winter Soldier, Book One (Hardcover)
I got into the Avengers with the start of the New Avengers book. I've always like the idea of the team, so that got me hooked on the one. Then I found that there were newer books started on individual characters from the team, so I started picking up Cap and Amazing Spider-man. I like getting a closer look at the individual characters. It gives some depth when reading New Avengers.
Neat book, though. Different from the typical super-hero thing. It has a heavy focus on anti-terrorism. That seems to be the main thrust of Cap as an individual character. These issues have a lot of flashbacks in them drawn differently giving it a very reflective feel - a pleasant change of pace from the average comic. You get a lot of Cap's background from the war. Definitely a good read if you're interested in Captain America or the Avengers.
