Captaining a stellar run of stories.
By Axel
This a an excellent, lovely collection of some wonderful "Captain America" stories between issues 25-42 of the current Captain America series being published by Marvel comics. Although not a perfect collection, it comes pretty close, and is presented in a sturdy, wonderful and high quality format that will look great on any shelf and stand up to several readings.
The collection starts with the issue in which Steve Rogers apparently "dies," and is perhaps one of the best "death" of a superhero stories in that genre, and continues onward until the assumption of the Captain America identity by Bucky and beyond. It is an uncompromising issue in which Brubaker hits all the right notes, and in which the tragedy of Steve's death is enriched by the wider "civil war" conflict which leads to the circumstances he finds himself in. Thankfully, detailed knowledge of that event is not a pre-requisite, as I did not read it, but was aware of the basic conflict between Captain America and Iron Man on the issue of registration of costumed heroes.
Although issue 25 was printed in the first Captain America Omnibus published by Marvel, it's appropriate to be reprinted here, since all the stories that follow are set off by the events in that issue. Brubaker's approach here is well in keeping with his approach since starting his run, which is to ground the stories in a sense of realism and avoid navel gazing and spending too much time on faux reflection on Steve's passing by the supporting cast. Characters mourn and the loss of Steve Rogers permeates and is the catalyst of all the events that follow, but life does go on and Brubaker commits himself to continuing the story. Essentially, as Sharon, Sam (the Falcon), Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Nick Fury are forced to come to terms with Steve's demise, unexpected events take place which put Bucky in the position of having to assume the identity of Captain America. At the same time, the Red Skull's plot barrels along with the assistance of a plant in Shield itself and Sharon is captured. Although the Skull's plans are anything but transparent, an insidious plot to destroy America by taking over it's government comes frighteningly close to fruition and the new Captain America does an admirable if not flawless job at putting a spoke in the Skull's wheel. The stories here are lyrical, the characters are well drawn and the stakes are high in the right kind of way (without being silly). If anything, it is in this volume that the Cap series finally picks up some real momentum, with events unfolding organically, and with an immediacy and urgency which the previous 25 issues of Captain America sometimes lacked. In fact, while the first Captain America Omnibus is a great read, I preferred this second volume, as that volume occasionally got a little bogged down and could be slow at times.
Brubaker isn't quite the genius some make him out to be, but is instead, a solid storyteller with a talent for creating realistic sounding characters and for creating grand, organic plots that satisfy thoroughly when read in bulk. It will rarely be a case where one particular chapter of Brubaker's run will really stand out as exceptional in and of itself, or even be very memorable, (issue 25 being the exception.) Issue to issue, the stories are hardly full of single events, or lines of dialogue or example, that will resonate with you afterward. Events seem to blur and intertwine, but as part of a larger whole, each chapter advances the plot substantially and provides a satisfying reading experience that comes together to make an even more satisfying whole. In fact, on reflection, it occured to me that actually, Brubaker has been telling the very same story since his Cap run began in 2005; namely a story about the confrontation between the extreme, fascist philosophies embodied by the Red Skull and perhaps, the idea of Captain America more than an individual wearer of the suit or bearer of that name, and all those things that go along with that. While all of Brubaker's other characters seems well drawn, his Steve is ironically a little removed, even slightly aloof, which isn't necessarily a bad thing and often helps promote the necessary mystique around the character that makes him likeable. At one point, Brubaker has Bucky, the character with whom we as readers probably most sympathize, describe Steve as that cooler, popular older brother the rest of us never want to let down, and it's a wonderful encapsulation of that mythical element Stever Rogers is supposed to represent. Structurally though, it's the overarching story that is the compelling element here, rather than individual issues, and for that reason, reading these stories in this volume in one or two sittings is therefore probably the best way to experience them. If Brubaker has any obvious weaknesses, it's that he's clearly not as comfortable with traditional comic science fiction as he is with crime or military fare, as the more slightly fantastic elements of his story, most swirling around the possibility of Steve's resurrection, seem a little clumsy and out of place. But this is early days yet for that particular tree to bear fruit. It is however, a weakness I noticed with some of the scripts.
The art on this volume is by most of the same team from the previous volume. Epting and Perkins do a serviceable job of providing a consistent, realistic vision to the stories that perfectly compliment Brubaker's grounded, humanized run. The characters feel like real people and generally move like real people, and the team demonstrate an exemplary record of clear storytelling and page layout; I've never been confused by the action in a Captain America comic drawn by these two and that's rare these days, but I would expect nothing less than that from Epting who's an old pro. If there's a minor complaint here, it's that while clearly technically competent and excellent artists in their own right, there's also nothing particularly spectacular or any images, sequences or pages that wow or arrest your attention, and maybe that's not a bad thing. The art should service the story after all and not the other way around. It's perhaps just slightly unfortunate that this team hasn't produced any defining single images that will resonate with readers in and of itself beyond Brubaker's stories. They do however have an admirable work ethic, as the need for fill in artists is infrequent, ensuring a generally unified artistic vision to this run of stories.
My only major complaint about the volume is that as the previous voilume was 25 issues plus, the 18 or so issues presented here seems a little short. While some might counter that the later issues after 42 relate more to Steve's eventual return and therefore don't meet the theme of the "death of Captain America," one still leaves the volume feeling like there's so much story which hasn't been included. However, that's more a compliment to the creative team than anything else, and only the unreasonable would refuse to accept that the story "ends" at a natural break. My other complaint is minor and about the format, namely the extra, DVD like material, articles and interviews etc presented in the first Omnibus is pretty light here, which I think is unfortunate. There are some bits and pieces about the media coverage of the death issue and Brubaker's intentions when starting the series some years back, but given the importance of the stories collected here and the volume of material produced about them by other media and by the industry at large, the few pieces presented here seem a little on the lean side to me. But that's a minor quibble and does not in any way diminish the excellent work the team accomplishes here.
Captain America under Brubaker and Epting and Perkins is a great property and I can't wait for the next Omnibus in this series, as I don't buy the monthly installments and never have. Highly recommended.

Death and rebirth
By N. Durham
As I've said before, I wasn't too fond of Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America when it first started out, what with bringing Bucky back from the dead and all, but eventually over time, I became a believer. With The Death of Captain America Omnibus, we witness Brubaker shockingly lay waste to star-spangled Avenger Steve Rogers in the wake of Civil War, which paves the way for Bucky to rise up and don the shield and costume in an effort to thwart the Red Skull's diabolical, overarching scheme. Loaded with espionage, action, and always constantly compelling and surprising, this is where Brubaker's run on Captain America really, really shined. Combined with the artwork of Steve Epting and Mike Perkins, along with everyone else included in this handsome omnibus, and you have what has become the definitive Captain America creative team. All in all, if you've missed out on any of Brubaker's now prolific run on Captain America, this is as good a place to jump on as any. Long live Cap.

Last Stand of the finest Avenger.
By Luquillo
The Civil War between Captain America and Iron Man has ended with Iron Man as the victor. Steve Rogers aka Captain America is escorted to his trial and the Red Skull's master plan is put into action. Cap's allies scramble and the Winter Soldier aka Bucky has his own mission. -summary
The Death of Captain America is the culmination of 3 years worth of storytelling that began and took place within the pages of Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Red Menace, Civil War, and Captain America: Civil War. Ed Brubaker began making status quo changes when he re-introduced Captain America's original side-kick Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier. Originally it was thought that Bucky was killed during a mission in World War II, but he was revealed to be alive and well, and used as a weapon to conduct covert assassinations for decades. Along with many fans, I was not too happy to see Bucky resurrected through a retcon, because along with Uncle Ben from the pages of Spider-Man and Jason Todd in Batman, Bucky's death was meant to be irreversible and for a very long time Marvel ran with this as he even appeared among the Legion of the Unliving. I guess it's true after all, no one truly stays dead in comics, well, unless it's Uncle Ben. In any case, I enjoyed how the character was handled, Brubaker managed to pen the best Captain America stories in at least 20 years. The last, highly enjoyable storyline I can think of off the top of my head was The Captain. Now getting to this book, this is an awesome omnibus that collects the storyline across issues 25 - 42, but minus the Fallen Son story arc. The Omnibus itself is very well made with a sturdy spine, it opens up very well with almost nothing lost in gutter space.
Now, it's not even a spoiler Cap dies, but he gets it very early in the story, and his death mainly effects the community motivating debate. Was he a hero or a traitor? I remember wondering was that a mistake and was it even possible this book could survive so many issues without Cap. Brubaker sees to it that Cap's demise doesn't dampen the story in the least. He does a fantastic job developing nearly all of the characters, and it was a surprise to witness the likes of Winter Soldier, Falcon, Sharon Carter, and Black Widow carry the narrative so well. They don't deserve all the credit though as the villains play just an important role with Red Skull leading the way, flanked by his psychotic daughter Sin, along with Dr. Faustus, Arnim Zola, and Crossbones. Once the stage is quickly set, the story begins its tale full of action, suspense, espionage, government intrigue, and controversy.
The plot follows Cap's allies as they track down his killer which is exactly what the Red Skull wants. He wants them and S.H.I.E.L.D. which is now lead by Iron Man, to be heavily distracted while he attacks America on many fronts. This is probably the Skull's most diabolical plan, and the fact he's even able to outwit Iron Man at all deserves a mention. The Red Skull has always been a serious threat but Brubaker further cements him as an A-List villain.
Despite these guys and gals wearing costumes, one of the main positives to Brubaker's storytelling is how he grounds his stories into realism. Captain America's murder is so simple, realistic, and sudden, it carries more dramatic impact than if he had went down in the heat of battle. The real show stealer here though is definitely Winter Soldier. He had already been developed very well by this point, yet Brubaker continues building him into an even more likable character. Bucky is very determined and highly skilled, and we get to see those skills put to work as he takes on several big names. His crowning moment takes place later in the book and it's very interesting watching him in his new position. As great a job Brubaker does here, his greatest flaw is keeping the narrative 100% interesting; he tends to be redundant at times by going back to points already made, and I think he kind of fumbles with Sin a little bit, at least for me that is. She rarely held my interest and her blood thirsty attitude felt too much like a rip off of the Spider-Man villain Shriek, plus he tried too hard developing her as stylish and cool.
Steve Epting, Mike Perkins, and Roberto De La Torre handles the dark and brooding artwork, that by this time felt perfectly at home in the pages of Captain America. There are plenty of moments where the story feels like an action thriller as opposed to a comic. The lack of overly vibrant colors works into the almost depressing like atmosphere dealing with these darker themes. The action panels are very cool to watch, as the new Captain America hurls his shield towards enemies while shooting them with his pistol. He also goes through brutal confrontations with Crossbones and even the new Serpent Squad. There are plenty of kills here too, with people either being shot or beaten to death. There is just so much action to be found here I find it near impossible for anyone to be bored. The character designs are worth noting; the new Captain America uses a shiny, armor like version of the original uniform. The females such as Agent 13 aka Sharon Carter and Black Widow aren't over the top with their sexiness, which really isn't a problem. The dialog is easy to follow, as are the action panels. Brubaker doesn't shoot for a cinematic feel at all with illustrations floating across the pages. That's Bendis' thing, and honestly I'm getting a little tired of that.
The Death of Captain America is among the better status quo changing books, but there was always this feeling that it wasn't permanent since the numbering of the book continued. In any case, this is one of the most important story lines that took place during Marvel's big change leading towards Siege. It works well as a stand alone title, but it wouldn't hurt at all to back track towards the earlier books I mentioned. In fact, it would help a great deal especially in regards to understanding the situation between Red Skull and General Lukin. Still, I highly recommend this to Marvel fans. It's necessary moving forward.
Pros: An overall outstanding and gripping narrative
Cons: Minor things needed detail, small writing complaints
