brendalovesbooks's review against another edition

I love Captain America, so almost any graphic novel with him is going to be good for me. That being said, I found this one to be a little confusing. That's not so much the fault of this book, but has to do with the fact that this was just one TPB in a long story. There's not much that can be done, except for me to get caught up on this particular Captain America comic as a whole.

Wow, I guess I never left a review for this either.
This doesn't show a significant part of the Civil War storyline. It doesn't even show 1/4 of the storyline. It's a few issues that basically deal more with how Sharon is handling Steve's rebellion than anything else.
The last issue with Bucky and the Young Avengers is my favorite. It's also a really wonderful look at how Bucky's been coming to terms with everything he missed while he was the Winter Soldier. Namely, Toro's death and the way the world has changed in his absence. It was nice to see him interacting with the Young Avengers and their respect for him because he was basically the first real sidekick.
Not a recommend, to be honest. You can get by on the Civil War story without reading this.

Not sure why they even bothered linking this to Civil War, as the effects are only seen in the background of the comic and are not even the focus, but I really liked that a lot of it was actually focused on Bucky.

Other than a couple of revealing plot points, the stories in this are pretty superfluous. If you're reading the Brubaker Cap saga, just read Civil War instead.

Would've been five stars, except for the serious lack of Captain America. Plus, one needs to read the full Civil War to appreciate the plot of this tie-in.

Mola mucho ver como se fue gestando el mítico evento Civil War desde el punto de vista del Capitán América y ver todas las ramificaciones. Seguimos con los mega tomos de Brubaker.

Just two quick points here.
First is that this arc is back to focusing on Agent 13, Nick Fury, and Bucky Barnes, instead of on Captain America -- although it is good to see Cap go rogue after having previously chided him for being so boringly lawful/good.
Second is that this trade paperback has all of four issues in it, and one of them is a barely related one-off of Bucky encountering Vision, a female Hawkeye, and some other rogue superheroes, which while interesting, didn't really have much to do with Cap. So caveat emptor, this is not a robust volume for a trade paperback.

This is the first comic I ever read, picked to get ready for the movie next year. It was okay, enjoyed the Winter Soldier parts.
