Brubaker is THE comics writer!
Review date: 2007-12-18 Rating: 10 out of 10

I have been into comics since I was a teenager and to be honest had never read Captain America. I was always predominantly a Spider-Man, Iron Man and X-Men fan.

After following the Civil War saga I subsequently purchased Captain America #25 and I became hooked (I have since purchased the trade paperbacks collecting the previous issues). Ed Brubaker is without a doubt now one of my favourite comic book writers - his film noir/crime thriller style of writing is unique and adds a sophistication to comics that can so often be missing.

With Captain America, Steve Epting's emotive and atmospheric art work complements Brubaker's style perfectly.

Needless to say I have also checked out his work on Daredevil and it is equally impressive and I have now found out that he also writes Uncanny X-Men!

This hardcover collecs issues 25-30 depicting the tragic death of Cap and the fallout thereafter as the Winter Soldier (an old friend of Cap's) goes on a one man mission to put a stop to the Red Skull's plans to destabilise the peace.

If you are a comic book fan you simply have to purchase this and also the Ed Brubaker omnibus collecting issues 1-25 you, will not be dissapointed!
