captwinghead's review against another edition
4.0
A bit hard to rate.
I really enjoy the parts dealing with Bucky's guilt and his struggle to feel worthy of Steve's avid defense of him. This was a great use of the Cap cast: Steve, Sharon, Sam, Nat and Bernie Rosenthal. Admittedly, I only recently learned more about Bernie and I love her. I kind of wish she'd come back because I really like her vibe.
I would question why, once again, a woman must suffer in a volume of Brubaker's Cap run but, this time its Sin. I can't muster any sympathy for a Nazi. I'm just glad it's not Sharon suffering, once again.
Here, Bucky's on trial for the actions of the Winter Soldier. Meanwhile, Sam, Steve, Sharon and Nat are chasing after expert witnesses and trying to unmask plots against Bucky while he's in custody. I kind of wished we could've focused more on the legal aspects but I'm a nerd and I find concepts of trials in a superhero world very interesting. Hence my love for volume 1 of the 2005 She-Hulk run.
But,I digress. The action scenes are pretty good, the art is fine and I like the outcome. The small issue about Cap taking up the shield again was pretty meh for me.
It's the Bucky Barnes story that makes this volume worth reading.

This book was so completely mired in the past. All I could think was, "Nazis and the Soviets? That's the best you can do for villains? Is the Mary Tyler Moore show still on?" Does anyone under the age of 35 read this title?

Man I love Bucky but he is dumb. Or as Sam would say... Stupid friggin' kid.

This is the redemptive payoff for the last trade. I enjoyed this, and it was helped immensely by Breitweiser's coloring. Some of the issues in the previous story arcs probably underwhelmed me in part due to subpar/boring "shiny" art and coloring.

this comic had some wonderful graphics and a really interesting plot. I felt attached to a lot of the characters and it was a super quick read.

Bucky, my love, what have you gotten yourself into. Possibly one of my favorite Bucky!Cap installments because it shows how Bucky has grown while still being allowed to be himself. He's totally matured into the Captain America role and I love it. (Maybe one day I should read all these comics in order.)
