Sharon Carter is pregnant with the deceased Captain America's child. A presidential candidate is in the pocket of the Red Skull and his allies. Bucky Barnes is struggling to adapt to his role as the new Captain America when someone appearing to be Steve Rogers appears...Brubaker's epic run on Captain America continues as Bucky Barnes steps up and proves he deserves the Captain America mantle. Sharon Carter finally shakes off the mind control and the Red Skull gets what's coming to him in a fashi...
Second time around, much more enjoyable skimming Sharon's plot. I will never understand why they chose to have her miscarry and get held hostage in addition to the plot with Steve's assassination. Seemed to me the guilt of that last bit would be enough of a plot to work with but... we have to torture female characters with unwanted pregnancies. Joy. Anyway, the bits with Sam and Bucky forming their partnership were great. Loved seeing Bucky struggle with the weight of Steve's legacy. I really li...
You've probably read some of my reviews where I tell of my history with comic books/graphic novels. I'm a long time Marvel fan and a long time Captain America fan.So I find these books sad...not just sad because of the subject matter, but sad because of the low quality of the story. I am disappointed with what has been done here with Cap...Even Cap's death was set up as an anticlimax. In the Death of Superman there's a Donnybrook of a fight that leads to the climax and Superman's death. Cap, who...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ┊ 5 stars "This uniform..it carries a weight. But it's not a burden. It's a responsibility." Woah. I was at the edge of my seat. AGAIN!Thank you Brubaker for ending this volume series with so much action with twists and turns.
This was a little hard to follow, but overall it was good.
4.5** i loved the bucky/nat so much more than i was expecting - might write a proper review soon
A really good close to the storyline. Obviously there had to be some threads left dangling, but nothing irritating. Definitely interested to see where this leads.
As the story went on I got into it a lot more. I still can't say that I'm a fan of Captain America, but the twists that the third part of the Death of Captain America took were more interesting than the set up in the previous two books.
In volume one, (view spoiler)[Captain America is assassinated on the courthouse steps following his arrest concluding Civil War. The perpetrators are Crossbones and a brainwashed Agent 13 aka Sharon Carter, and the masterminds are Doctor Faustus, Arnim Zola, and none other than the Red Skull. Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, begins his roaring rampage of revenge by gunning for Tony Stark but ends it in the clutches of the Red Skull. Sharon's involvement is uncovered and she subdue...
I liked the conclusion to this arc with what happened to the 50s Cap, the Red Skull, and Sharon's pregnancy. as always I enjoyed the characterization of Bucky/Cap (in regards to his difficulty living up to Steve's reputation) and his interactions with Hawkeye and Falcon too.
The final chapter in the Death of Captain America. Does it end well? Well, no shit, it's Ed Brubaker here! So the new Steve Rogers is here. Or I guess the old Steve Rogers? It's a clone of rogers who was the super soldier in the past. ANYWAY he's back and he's going after Bucky because he thinks Bucky killed his Bucky, which he actually did. Confused? Read the comics. Then have the other half of Falcon and Natasha on their rescue mission to get Agent 13 back. Overall, good stuff. The art remains...
This was another great one!This is where everything comes together really well. First we have Cap of 50s and his origin and all and how he looks like Steve facing off against Bucky and there is a war of two caps and then Senator Wright forming a third party and running for president but its a plan with Red Skull involved and we finally see Falcon and Widow make their move to free Agent 13 and will they? Also what is Red Skull's plan to escape from the body of Lukin? And some interesting things w...
In Act Three the nefarious plans of the Red Skull are revealed which include several strategies chief among them bringing backc some twisted version of Captain America and creating an economic crisis. The usual crew shows up to fight against and for the Red Skull.I found Act Three to be the best of all three though I would say the first which detailed the death of Steve Rogers (the original Cap) was arguably the most moving.“Captain America #25 which depicted Steve Roger's death was the highest
I own this book. This is one of my favourite runs of Captain America that I've read so far. Can I just highlight, once again, how much I love and adore Bucky Barnes? This was such an action packed storyline, we see Bucky step into his role as Cap more and more as he fights against a fake Steve Rogers and attempts to dissemble Zola's plans while also trying to save Sharon from Dr Faustus alongside Falcon. Cap!Bucky really owns my whole heart and soul.
This was a good conclusion to the trilogy. I thought it was wrapped up brilliantly. This was a more fast pace read and I enjoyed the characters more. I was felt bad for Sharon Carter. I might continue on with some other Captain America graphic novels, but I am not sure.
Ed Brubaker continues to set up his Captain America run as a legacy title. With Bucky now adopting the Cap costume and shield, the Red Skull seeks to put his plan to discredit the new Captain America into motion. As Bucky teams with Falcon and Black Widow to confront a corrupt political platform, Sharon Carter must try and escape from the Skull's clutches in time to prevent a government conspiracy from overtaking America. Weaving through complex layers of plotting, paying homage to - and improvi...
A knockout conclusion to this wonderful trilogy, 'The Man Who Bought America' is filled with surprise twists. Superhero fans know that rarely does a deceased character remain dead, so I expect a Steve Rogers re-birth trilogy in the future. This story contains equally shocking sub-plots: Rogers' death is barely discussed, Black Widow spends most of the time behind the scenes (but not really), and the extremely long timeline Red Skull engages in to wreak havoc are all worthy of their own trilogies...
Protect Bucky at all costs, please.
This was a pretty good story but what really carries these three volumes is the artwork, it is very well done. The story line was intriguing but for me the ending left too many questions unanswered. I realize the intent is to keep you reading additional issues, but I was looking for a self-contained story line and this was not. Still it was worth reading and again, the art was very good.
The Red Skull plots to have his man elected into office with the help of Faustus.Bucky, the new Captain America, struggles to uncover the deception.He is thwarted by a third Captain that is not Steve.A complicated but enjoyable read.Good for those looking for the transitional period between Captain America's.NotesDr. Zola plays a role.Learning CurveModerate: Some knowledge of Captain America would be helpfulReading OrderAfter Civil War
