This is going to be a lot better than the John Walker era. I know some think Cap shouldn't carry & use firearms, but maybe it's past due he got with the times. He is part government agent, after all.
Very good scans above.
i thought they might resort to something extreme as well, but brubaker's made it clear that he's had this in mind since the beginning. it's kind of disappointing, in a sense, that he knew he wanted to revive bucky, then kill steve, then make bucky captain america; but the story's been ****in' phenomenal. i've never been the biggest fan of the captain america solo series[es], but i read the first two trades in one long sit at a barnes and noble some months back, and have been following each issue like it was an episode of lost. now that bucky's finally made his star-spangled debut, i'm still not disappointed.

✅ Totally agree.

Epting's work is great. That realistic style with the moody shadows - reminds me of David Mazzuchelli's best work on Daredevil, and Paul Gulacy's best work with Doug Moench - is matched perfectly by the tone of Brubaker's story & prose. He's made for this title.
