A review by doublefantasy
Captain America by Ed Brubaker Omnibus, Vol. 1 by Ed Brubaker
5.0
#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
