4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I had thought, July 29, 2007

By	N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I hadn't been too impressed with Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America since the title was relaunched (his resurrection of the long dead Bucky sent collective groans down readers backs heard across the world), but Red Menace ends up being better than what he's already delivered before it. Brubaker manages to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of Captain America's first appearance in style here, as Cap and Bucky, now known as the Winter Soldier, go head to head in an emotional confrontation that is worth picking the book up for alone. There's a decent amount of action and intrigue as can be expected from the title and from Brubaker, and the art from Steve Epting is solid as always to boot. That being said, by the end of Red Menace, Cap is staring down the wall in terms of his future, which as we all know at this point by now, isn't very bright to say the least. All in all, Red Menace is worth checking out if you're a fan of Cap or Brubaker, and it's better than the first two TPB's that preceeded it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but short Cap collection!, May 12, 2009

By	S. Penrose (Small Town, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm really enjoying Brubaker's Captain America run but this collection was a little too short. Maybe the Red Menace arc should have been all in one trade? Regardless I enjoyed the re-reeducation of Sin and learned alot about her and think she could be come a very good villain for Cap. As usual, the art was fantastic. Overall, just a little light on the page count side.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Stop Reading, September 6, 2008

By	Michael Long "Anime Fan" (Newton, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's a great story that leads up into Civil War. If you're wanting to keep up with Captain America story, this gives the back story that keeps on going. A good read.
