This was fantastic. I really like Ed Brubaker's take on Captain America. The first third of this book is carry over from the previous omnibus and follows Bucky. But once the reborn story of Steve Rogers starts, it gets really good and everything comes together really well in the end. I know some people may disagree, but I really like Brubakers take with Bucky Barnes as Captain America. I love that Bucky's past as the Winter Soldier keeps coming back to haunt him and he has to deal with those issues. Now I know one of the things that makes people that don't read comic books laugh at them is that a character never really stay's dead. Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) didn't stay dead and Barry Allen (The Flash), though he probably stayed dead the longest (20+ years), didn't stay dead either. But sometimes that is what makes comic books so fun. There are elements of the fantastical, elements that aren't even possible, but still are very entertaining. There is a certain level of reality that you have to be OK with not existing. If you can get past that, this book is really, really fun. Steve Rogers being Captain America is such comic Icon, its hard to keep such a beloved character dead for long. This book is must read if you've read the first two Ed Brubaker Omnibus's.
