Le iba a poner solo 4 estrellas porque parecía ser solamente un interludio entre lo del Winter Soldier y todo lo que sucedería después pero me dejó callado. Digo, sí se puede interpretar como un interludio después de todo pero la historia es muy interesante y dinámica y sí hay un progreso en la trama de Bucky y Red Skull. La serie en general ha logrado conservar el ritmo y mi interés por saber lo que sucederá después de cada número.

It's a wonder to me why more of Marvel's books aren't of this quality, in terms of writing AND art. I don't know of another series that manages to rotate artists as successfully as this one, and have the styles match up so well.

Crossbones and Sin are on a rampage across the Midwest, attacking AIM outposts. Cap and Agent 13 head to Europe and team up with Spitfire and Union Jack to protect Aleksander Lukin and find Bucky.
Ed Brubaker's stellar Captain America run continues. We get Crossbones deprogramming the Red Skull's daughter, an untold tale of Captain America, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos from World War II, and a trip to merry old England to team up with Union Jack and Spitfire. Cap and Bucky briefly team up, which was more satisfying than their brief clash in the last volume.
The villains were well done. What's going on with Aleksander Lukin anyway? I liked the parts focusing on Crossbones and Sin. Master Man was as inept as always. Was he based on Miracleman/Marvelman originally? I loved the interactions between Cap, Agent 13, Spitfire, and Union Jack.
Honestly, there's not a lot else to talk about. Brubaker is the master of pacing and managed to take a fairly cheesy robot and make it a credible threat. So far, Brubaker's run on Captain America is everything a comic should be. Four easy stars.

A continuation after Winter Soldier i highly recommend to read that first before reading this (good starting on point for Captain America).
In Winter Soldier, Red Skull gets killed and Crossbones his loyal servant goes to a camp to save Red Skull's daughter Sin from a "detention camp" (brainwashing camp)
Crossbones deprogrammes her and they together set out to get revenge on Lukin for killing Red Skull.
Whilst Captain America is trying to find Bucky who want's to get revenge on Lukin for using him.
Ed Brubaker continues his run with some good writing and both Mike Perkins and Steve Epting with their good artwork.

"My theory is that every person who has ever written Cap, if you're writing it right, you want to bring Bucky back."
- Ed Brubaker
Didn't really care about Crossbones and Sin, or the master men, or Lukin's split personality disorder...but BUCKY. STEVE. BUCKY AND STEVE. I love how much of a badass Brubaker makes Bucky, and his solid reasoning behind that choice. I love how complex the relationship is between the two of them. Just, a lot of feelings overall.

I didn't enjoy this installment half as much as I enjoyed the previous ones, those being Winter Solider Part 1 & 2. However, I can imagine that it's pretty challenging to come up with a new story after one such as the previous arc, so I'm willing to be forgiving in this case. The book takes a while to get to the point as it has to do due diligence to set up a new arc. As a result, he pacing feels extremely slow, and I was not a fan of the big fight towards the end. It's clear that the story is going to go in a really interesting direction, it's just that it did not happen in this TP. As you know, I'm a big fan of Bucky and the little that we did see him in this book was pretty good, especially given that I didn't think he was going to feature so much. I did realize something with this book though, and it's that I'm not a huge fan of Epting and Perkins' illustrative style. There's nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't do anything for me. Towards the end of the TP there's a special anniversary issue that is set during the war with Cap, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos. The majority of the issue is illustrated by Javier Pulido and Marcos Martin to mimic the original 1940s comics and I much preferred this art. I understand why there's a shift in art styles and I appreciate the reasons behind the change but I still have my preference. Ultimately it was an okay book, but very much a filler story so we are able to move on to bigger and better things like The Death of Captain America .

Continuing on with my binge of this series.
I still think the first book is the best so far, but this was still good. Steve is developing more and he's a lot more like the Steve I'm growing to love (as he was definitely a bit angrier in the first book). Sharon is also growing on me a bit. I'd like to see her kick-ass a little more, but she's growing on me. And they're cute together.
I also liked meeting a lot of these characters for the first time, such as Union Jack, Spitfire, Crossbones, and Sin. (Yes, I know, I know. I should know who Crossbones is. I do, I've just yet to read a comic with him in it, okay?)
But of course, my favorite part was Bucky. What can I say? I like Bucky. I liked seeing him working on Steve's side, but still avoiding Steve. He's got issues he still needs to work out, and I rather enjoy that. Of course, I loved the last issue, with Steve and Bucky worrying over each other and helping each other. It was just so great to see them side by side.
My favorite part though was the 65th anniversary special. I want more Captain America stories from WWII. They're just so great. Really, that issue was wonderfully done, and I absolutely loved it.
Still enjoying this series, but I have to take a detour and reread Civil War.

I really enjoyed this section of Ed Brubaker's Captain America run. In fact, I think Ed Brubaker may be my favorite writer in comics. He is able to balance enough realism to keep up my suspension of disbelief with the fantastic demands of the superhero genre. In this volume, I particularly liked the set up of Crossbones and the Red Skull's daughter. Some gritty scenes of torture but it made for good stakes and a form of baddie psychology you don't often find in comics.

Ed Brubaker at his finest. We see Cap going overseas as he continues to piece together the fate of his old friend, Bucky Barnes and his arch nemesis Red Skull. Loved the bit with Pulido and Martin on art. Would very much love a Cap book in the vein of their art, just saying. Now that I’ve read this and Winter Soldier, I’m even more impressed with the Winter Soldier movie. It really pulled from the essence of the comics and what these two characters mean to one another.

This was great! Unlike Winter Soldier, I didn't think any parts of it dragged. I liked being introduced to new characters and the WWII interlude was really good. I also love how Bucky's character arc is developing, seeing how he decides to redeem himself for what he did as the Winter Soldier.
