Review by Troy Brownfield

I can’t say this any more clearly: Spoilers On.

By now, you all know how the Civil War ended. Captain America, shaken by the sight of the destruction that the warring sides had caused in the middle of New York, surrendered. In the wake on his decision, a general hero amnesty was extended to all, though the various members of the New Avengers opted to go underground. There has been a good deal of controversy stemming from Captain America’s choice to turn himself in. That’s nothing compared to the discussion that this particular issue is going to generate.

The issue opens with a stirring recollection of Cap’s role in World War II, then settles into the main story. Cap is due to arrive in court, and crowds are gathering to demonstrate for Cap’s freedom. That notion addresses one fundamental bedrock of the Marvel Universe: no matter how crazy things get, there will always be people who believe in Cap. Among the crowd are Agent 13, Sharon Carter, and Bucky (yup, that Winter Soldier guy), and they’re set to enact a plan by the well-hidden Nick Fury. Clearly, some significant players don’t want to see Captain America rotting in jail.

In and around this central framework, we’re treated to a series of heartfelt flashbacks by those closest to Cap. Sharon recalls stories from her aunt and her own love story. Bucky remembers the war days, and so on. It’s actually a style that’s been used in a Captain America issue before (#444 of the original Marvel series), and that’s fine; Brubaker writes this masterfully. In fact, it’s Brubaker’s command of character that has made this run, and this issue, have so much impact. Even if you don’t read Captain America regularly, you get a particularly strong sense of the character and his supporting cast in just a few pages.

What happens next, you may or may not see coming. The rumors have been out there for a while. As it is, yes, Captain America gets shot by a sniper. After that, however, it gets much, much worse. The Falcon and Bucky engage a familiar enemy, remote manipulations are called into play, and further action and one extremely shocking revelation ensue. Before it’s all over, a nation mourns.

None of this would work quite so well without the sure hand of its creative team. Brubaker, a writer whom I’ve admired since first reading his A Complete Lowlife a number of years ago, handles the small and the epic with equal skill. He can stir the patriotism and symbolism of the character without being corny, and he’s brutally efficient with the action sequences. The big swerve he perpetrates at the expense of Agent Carter is an even bigger shot to the gut because he successfully makes you care about the characters. In terms of art, Epting continues to do career-defining work here. I’ve always felt that Epting has been underrated, and I’ve enjoyed his art as far back as the unfairly maligned early-to-mid-‘90s Avengers. His rendering of action is clean and kinetic, and he shoves the emotional devastation of the issue’s events into sharp focus.



There’s a sense of the inevitable about this tale. When you consider the end of Civil War, the arguments surrounding Front Line, and the fragmented nature of our own national identity, it seems appropriate that this iconic character was destined for an eventual fall. Of course, our comic book skepticism makes us think that he’ll be back, but that doesn’t lessen the emotional impact. This is an extremely strong piece of super-heroic fiction. It’s dark and uncompromising, and it invites a number of directions and possibilities into this title. It’s also easy to see how this event will galvanize the rest of the Marvel Universe and further the antagonism between the New and Mighty Avengers.

I’m left with a sense at the end that the story is far from over. In a strange way, Brubaker’s run on Captain America had often dealt with a theme of second chances. Perhaps one is in the offing here. But for the moment, as a character goes to its rest, we’ve got to commend Brubaker and Epting for making daring choices throughout their tenure on the book and for smart, skillful work. This book is sure to be hotly debated; what should not be debated is the high level of the sheer talent on display.

Parece q lo hiciera para salvar al cana

pero entonces es medio pelotudo el tirador, teniendo al capitán, ¿quien puede querer matar al poli? a menos que sea alguien disfrazado, como Furia

Hace falta poner tanto spoiler cuando en el mismo titulo del tema ya se avisa que lo que se hablan son spoilers?

Desde la muerte de superman para aca que nadie dura muerto mucho tiempo y menos si es un personaje tan groso como el Capitan America. Es como que ya no causan demasiado revuelo con estas ideas. Uno se pone bastante esceptico.
