A review by siria
Captain America: Prisoner of War by Ed Brubaker

2.0

The best part of this collection is the fact there is an extended scene in which Bucky, shirtless, is forced to fight a brown bear while imprisoned in a gulag. I mean, this asks you to buy that there are gulags in contemporary Russia, and that Steve Rogers would be okay with leaving a friend of his in a forced labour camp because to do otherwise would be to start an international diplomatic incident (this is Steve Rogers! Have you met him?), but you know: Bucky wrestles a bear! The filler short stories at the end range from the mediocre to the confusing to the deeply weird—there was one bizarre one that featured a clone of Adolf Hitler that made me just want to back away slowly from whoever wrote it.
