Captain America: Winter Soldier, Volume 1 by Ed Brubaker
3.0
I've been kinda slow to jump on the Captain America fan club train. Probably because he comes across as so sugary sweet that it hurts my teeth. But then, I usually cheer for the bad guys so what do I know?
My friend Jeff had told me that I should read Brubaker's version. I figured if anyone could make me like this character..Brubaker was it. He is one of my comic authors I actually don't one star.
This one isn't bad. It starts off with Red Skull plotting dastardly deeds but that stops in its tracks. This book is actually really well done but there were times I got bored in it. Yes, I expect to be entertained. A graphic novel/comic book only has a short time to catch attention because I read them fast..and I want them to do it.
I don't want to tell much about the plot of this one because it could easily go into spoiler territory. So if you are interested in old Sugar Boy Captain pick it up. He didn't make me want to punch him.

I've featured Jeff's reviews before here and he technically read a different version of this one that I did so I'm going with Kemper on this one. If you are not following or friends with Kemper..just go do it right now. He and Dan (the original) were two of the first reviewers that made me realize "Hey, reviewer's are cool!"..not that I'm ever going to get near as cool as these two guys.
