Captain America By Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol.

The Complete run of Ed Brubaker on Captain America is available in the omnibus Collection. It’s the most celebrated run on the Captain America modern series.Ĭaptain America by Ed Brubaker: Omnibus Collection The Criminal author wrote 100 issues (with art by Steve Epting), bringing back Bucky as the Winter Soldier, dealing with Cap’s death and resurrection, and more including the death and life of his greatest enemy, the Red Skull, and the emergences of a new threat, General Aleksander Lukin, the head of one of the most powerful corporations in the world! In January 2005, Ed Brubaker started to write the Captain America ongoing series with the fifth volume. Trapped in ice and saved by the serum that changed him, he later came back to fight evil everywhere. Near the end of the war, he and his sidekick Busty were left for dead. As a young man, Steve wanted to fight for his country against the Nazis, but couldn’t … until he participated in an experiment that transformed him into a super-soldier. But if you were in a coma for most of your life, he is a Marvel Superhero and the alter ego of Steve Rogers, created in 1941 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

Add to that the character’s recent cinematic successes, and this title demands shelf space. The art is solid throughout, particularly in the last part, where Epting, Brubaker’s original collaborator, imbues the story with the sense of deep melancholy that has been an emotional hallmark of Brubaker’s history-making run. Brubaker, with an assist from Bunn, tells an action-oriented story but also manages to ask disturbing and relevant questions about a man who represents a country whose political environment is increasingly debauched.

Here, Brubaker brings his eight-year tenure to a close, throwing the character against a group of super-terrorists and a television hate-monger seeking to undermine the country’s belief in him and concluding Cap’s several-volumes-long hunt for Agent Bravo. Brubaker hit hard, with darker, espionage-oriented tales that thrust the Captain into a murkier moral environment that challenged his Depression-era patriotism. When Brubaker took over scripting duties on the title, it had been floundering somewhat, looking for such a voice. Of all superheroes, Captain America benefits the most from a writer who is sensitive to the political tenor of the times.
