I've been reading this title since it's 1st issue and at this point yet to find a bad issue, the art is a perfect match for the action thriller script and the lead character is so fleshed out and grounded that you feel he's always been the way Brubaker writes him. My only concern was the frankly awful Civil War. These tie in issues ran the risk of being the first dud issues of this run. But it worked. Although Cap himself is almost absent for most of this collection. The stories about and around him do work. Although reading Civil War may fill in the blanks about this collection, it hangs together well without it. Even the obligatory one shot featuring the Winter Soldier works by showing his sadness at his first 21st Xmas with his own mind. If you were reading Civil War, pick this title up, if you were already reading Captain America, then this also furthers the main story along, so it's worth picking up. Even if you just enjoy good comics, pick this up.
