Captain America Brubaker Run 26-42 (Death of Captain America Omnibus) Review
Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Comics
Death of Captain America Omnibus for preorder for $41 at Amazon
I gotta say, I thought Bucky was a lame as hell character for the longest time. I also thought the new Captain America design was ugly and a gimmick by Marvel. Cap’s dead, but here’s replacement Cap, buy more stuff with his face on it!
This covers the second Omnibus, issues 26-42. As before, you can get these in paperback form if you don’t want the whole Omnibus.
Glad I kept reading this excellent run, because my thoughts on both issues changed. Cap’s dead, Bucky is pissed. The reasons why he becomes the replacement Cap and the reason for the costume change are perfect. The character they evolved him into, his thoughts, his doubts, he’s been incredibly well fleshed out and he’s a good character. I actually enjoy him.
All the scheming the Red Skull began comes to fruition here. Seeing the plot coming together is just excellent, real supervillainy straight up.
Art, as in the previous volume, is solid.
5/5. Not quite as excellent as the first 25 issues, but only slightly below them.
