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.
