We salute you.Note: This post covers the content from the following comics (not going to bother listing all the annuals and one-shots in-between):īrubaker's Captain America was the last time I recall buying monthly issues for a comic. Thanks for giving your story a proper end with this issue. Thanks for making Captain America so freaking awesome for eight years. All that's left to say is “thank you.” Thank you, Ed. Heavy handed, maybe, but it works so damn well. It's just Steve riding off on a nameless road somewhere in America.
If nothing else, the last panel absolutely nails it. A few panels feel a little stiff, but for the most part it looks really, really solid. Lots of this issue is filled with flashbacks and most of it looks really great. He drew the bulk of Brubaker's run and helped define the look and feel of this bold new era of Captain America. Steve Epting is the most fitting artist for this final issue. The issue is structured with a scene that mirrors the first issue of Brubaker's run, and it's seriously hard to not get emotional reading it. We know that more Captain America comics are coming and that new creative teams are stepping in, but Brubaker's version ends here.
In a lot of ways, this is the end of this version of Captain America.
It's an issue that reflects back on everything Brubaker has done with that character.
Under Brubaker, Captain America became a must-read book, one of the best titles that Marvel had offered in years. And then he killed Captain America and replaced him with the resurrected Bucky and some how, against all logic, the series got better. More than anything, Brubaker will probably be remembered as the guy who resurrected Bucky Barnes, an act that was unthinkable. Eight glorious years of dark espionage that helped to redefine Captain America and his supporting cast.
