Captain America: Reborn by Ed Brubaker
4.0
Still a wonderful story!
It's compelling, the art is gorgeous and the writing's pretty good. It goes through Cap's history in a way that doesn't feel repetitive (and believe me, a lot of Cap's books go through his history). I enjoyed seeing Steve's inner thoughts as he relived his past. I really loved seeing Sam, Bucky and Nat work together. I like the set up for what comes next.
The only downside is that this book, once again, has me asking what the hell kind of vendetta does Brubaker have against Sharon Carter? I mean, she just gets the worst of it in his run and in this book. She's not only brainwashed to kill Cap, pregnant against her will and then loses the baby, and then forced to remember what she was brainwashed to do. In this book, Red Skull takes over the body of the love of her life and then beats her up.
Like dude... why does she need to be treated that way? The rest of that stuff was (way, way) more than enough.
