Now that Steve Rogers is dead, will there be another Captain America? Why yes, yes there will be and he will be none other then the Winter Soldier himself, James "Bucky" Barnes. Yes, the same Bucky Barnes that was the Cap's side kick in WWII. Brubaker continues his excellent stories with Bucky Barnes taking over the mantle of Captain America for Steve. This Captain America is not a registered hero, is not apart of S.H.E.I.L.D, or even working for Nick Fury. As a personal request from Steve Rogers, Tony Stark (now the director of S.H.E.I.L.D.) secretly helps Bucky become the new Captain America with a new uniform and all. One of the things I like best about Bucky as Cap is that he doesn't try to be Steve Rogers. He tries to honor the idea and what Steve stood for. He is his own man and his own Captain America. The main antagonist is the Red Skull. He is still bent on destroying America and conquering the world. But he is attacking it from with in. His primary method being politically and economically. Like the first Omnibus, this picks up right where it left off. Loving the story. Though much smaller then the first Omnibus, its just as good but a lot more expensive. It is very difficult to find, and if you do it will demand a very pretty penny. I have yet to see it actually sell under $100. This gets my stamp of approval.
