#1-#14:
this was... everything and more? (and THEN much more); I can't believe it took me so many years to get through this bad boy, this is one of the best comic stroylines I have ever read in my entire god damned life (I know, I know, there'll always be more but whatever) and I want to thank thee king Ed Brubaker for gifting us this wonderful and thrilling piece of art (I will admit that the slight changes made to Bucky's Winter Soldier backstory in the MCU are kiiiinda better? but that's just me, though).
love the boooooatloooooooads of great sharon and steve content, as always <3
65th Anniversary Special:
Bucky is the world's greatest little shit and I loved reading about his little adventure with Gretchen <33333 (their kiss! be still my beating heart!) and the art style was so so so gorgeous I just want to live in it!!! the callbacks to Jack Kirby's unique style were obvious and made me I love it even more (it also reminds me of the art in Gotham Academy, ngl?).
a wonderful adventure and great addition to the Bucky and Steve mythos of their WWII history for modern audiences (can I just say, that panel of Steve holding the little camera inside that Hydra tent with Fury? adorable beyond reason).
#15-#25 + Winter Kills:
reading a summary about what went down in Civil War years ago does not do it any justice, especially once you actually read it (from the Captain America perspective, of course)... truly just an unhinged piece of writing and I just think it's brilliant; who ELSE is doing it like Brubaker???? no one. period.
just a class act of a story (maybe one day I'll sift throught the whole CW story in its entirety... maybe...)
Winter Kills was so sad, I love Bucky :'( and this reminded me just how much I love Kate Bishop, she's such a dumb bitch, but she's MY dumb bitch !
it's 6 am and I haven't slept at all as of writing, reading nothing but cap comics has melted my brain into a pool of shit. toodles xx

Put simply, Brubaker’s run on Captain America with mostly Steve Epting on art is a masterpiece of superhero comic book writing. The reexamination of Captain America’s history to reveal how the Winter Soldier came to be and culminating in a humongous moment post Civil War just has to be read. I patiently await the reissuing of Omnibus volume 2 of this stunning character defining run.

This prepared me in no way for Captain America Civil War! If anything it made my stress about the movie worse!

I like graphic novels; I'm not really a huge comic book fan, though. The old, established heroes have too much back story, too many weird points in history, especially if they've been around long enough. But Ed Brubaker can flat out WRITE and he can write Captain America very well. I'm not a big fan of the art and it's a bit convoluted, but the writing is well done and tight.

Brubaker's 25 issues are a great introduction for new readers, giving a crash course in Steve Rogers and some of his key allies and enemies. I wish I'd come to the Winter Soldier stuff unknowing, though, but I can't wait to see what's gonna happen in the cinematic universe with Cap 2.
