just a simple poll for CBK's benefit
 
it's great...especially with union jack being in it just recently....even more of a selling point for me!
 
I didn't care for the resurrection of Bucky as a plot element, but the rest of the arc was good. Now that Bucky's mostly a non-issue again, the book's become really entertaining. :up:
 
I only got into this run with issue 15, but I've really enjoyed it so far. I picked it up because of a lot of good buzz around here, which turned out to be pretty spot on.
 
It's pretty good.

My only problem is Buckys return.
 
Love what i'v eread, and think Bucky has been handled excelently.
 
I took a huge chance on this title when it was relaunched under Brubaker and Epting. Beginning to pick up New Avengers and enjoying Cap's character I gave it a shot and it was one of the best picks I made in a long time.

It's got GREAT artwork in it. Good character development, excellent twists that don't seem so BLATANTLY obvious, and a good handle on Captain America.

And the way the Bucky resurrection was handled and what they've been doing with him has been phenomenal. I dare you not to read # 8, I believe it is, where it just focuses on Nomad...and how depressing and crazy his life turned out before he died. Great issue there, in my opinion.

I'd highly recommend this title to anybody.

Ok. I don't know why # 8 was stuck in my head, I think that was the House of M issue...but I could also be wrong on that.
 
Thats the first issue of the Winter Soldier arc where we begin to learn his origin.

I got to say, Captain America is in my top 3 Marvel titles, I get home and i cant wait to read it. Its go so many good things going for it. The espionage elements, the good ol superhero action, great, interesting villains, a nice romantic sub-plot, Union Jack. Really, I cant fathom why anyone wouldnt at least recognize that the book is solid, it may not be for them necessarily, but its a top notch book. I even give New Avengers some praise when it deserves it.
 
That Nomad issue was just hands down incredible. I NEVER thought I would care about that character.
 
I think issue #4 is great as well. Cap at Arlington Cemetary giving us a run down of every incarnation of Captain America.

Definitly awesome. Great "done-in-one". Very depressing.

I never would've thought anyone could resurrect Bucky and make it cool, but Brubaker has done wonders with it.
 
Captain America and Daredevil are two of my favorite reads at this time. Brubaker does an excellent job on both.
 
I hadnt read Captain America in years...i guess right before the Heroes Reborn stuff, but i was so impressed with Brubaker's debut on Daredevil that i gave his Captain America a go, and LOVED it!

It has a vibe very reminiscent of the vibe the book had between 1970 and 1974, imo...

I've since gone out and bought Brubaker's entire run...just need to set some time aside and catch up.
 
I picked this book after the Bucky's resurrection and Brubaker is doing a great job with this and Daredevil.
 
yeah i love brubaker too. i want his babies. yadda yadda yadda. i think this is harsh on CBK personally. a poll for his "benefit". ouch.
 
Brubaker should take over the New Avengers, and Bendis should be left to murdering Ult. Spider-man.
 
Never read Cap never felt cool enough for me to buy besides alreeady have to many comics on my pull list right now.

Ok, if you ever get some space on the pull list be sure to check it out.
