Menuda pesadilla. Más largo que un día sin pan. Es que el capi está todo el puñetero rato llorando o haciendo de abuelo cebolleta entre lágrimas. Es que no hay manera de que el personaje me caiga bien. Hay un par de escenas que lo salvan de perder algunas estrellas más, pero quitando eso, se me ha hecho muy cuesta arriba.

This graphic novel was great. It was a great intro to me into Captain America. I liked how they made everyone human and gave the characters multi faceted personalities instead of making them nothing but heroes. This had everything I enjoy including history, mystery, great hero action, great storyline and fantastic artwork. I can't wait to read the next one!

That was a nice introduction into the comic book world! I definitely need to get more knowledge on the MCU but I liked it!
Since Steve and Bucky are my favorite characters and TWS my fave movie, I figure I would start with that one. I probably should have gone with the basics, but I’ll get there!

I love me some Captain America. And I love me some Winter Soldier. So this is best of both worlds, the best Captain America movie come to life. Or book, I guess.
I felt bad for Jack Monroe. That poor guy was just having all sorts of brain problems as a result of the serum.
Interesting that they went into the history of Captain America while Steve was frozen. A couple of guys who took the mantle in the meantime.
Sharon in this is a lot more likeable to me than Sharon in the movies. I guess they did kind of force it in the movies. This one, they had already broken up.
The next volume promises a lot more of Bucky!!! So yayyy!!!!

Another superhero that I mostly know through the movie adaptations. I like the movie Winter Soldier quite a bit.
The artwork was mostly ok. Parts where flat and not terribly good in my opinion. The story started interesting enough with the Red Skull.
A lot of flashbacks, a bunch of superheroes and bad guys. The story was suspenseful enough to hold my interest to about the midpoint, then the whole thing lost steam for me. Ok, I guess, but nothing special.

Ключова история за Капитан Америка изпълнена с тайни, предателства и доста екшън. Толкоз.

Pretty good, though if you're looking for Winter Soldier content, this isn't quite it - it's all very shrouded in this one (I think he's more present in volume 2 but I haven't read it yet).

I was looking forward to this one, but in the end the drawing seemed confusing and also the main storyline was quite convoluted and mixed up with the fake memories of Cap. What I actually liked was the appendix story.

I guess I never wrote a review for this.
This is the second time I've read this volume. I'm re-reading because I want a refresher on Bucky Barnes - as he's written in the comics, anyway. The films didn't really give him a lot of the same depth.
Anyway, this is really just a glimpse of the Winter Soldier. Whatever my complaints about the way this run chose to use Sharon Carter (poorly, lets just leave it at that), I like the way Brubaker set up the plot with the Winter Soldier. It's well paced, the story builds well with Red Skull's apparent death and Lukin.
Most importantly, I'm a sucker for any story that shows how grief has affected Captain America's life. This series takes place after the Avengers Disassembled storyline and it shows how losing the team and Hawkeye's death have affected Cap. He's meaner, he's having trouble sleeping and he's spending all of his time alone. All he has is the job and... that's pretty much always how Steve's life has been. He gets a new purpose (taking down Red Skull in the 40s, the Avengers in the 60s, SHIELD in the 70s, Avengers again later on) and then the rug gets ripped away from him (frozen in the ice, the team breaking up a few times, becomes disenfranchised with the government and becomes Nomad, the Avengers break up). Steve keeps having to start over and it's an intriguing thing to watch.
Anyway, if you're a Cap fan like me, you've already read this so I don't have to say it's a recommend. Admittedly, if you also hate seeing Sharon Carter get the short end of the string, this series becomes painful to read towards the end of this arc.
