Before I get my issue of the last chapter of 'Death of Captain America' let me get this out of the way. This was a very good week in comics, and this being my Pick of the Week is a bit of hyperbole. All of the issues I read and reviewed were great in their own right and any one of them could've been my pick. Not to say this doesnt deserve it, this was the best out of the bunch by a .00000001 better then the rest. So in a way, all the comics this week could've been Pick of the Week, if only a button we're created to share that feeling....
Back to the issue at hand, Brubaker has done something impossible to me. He has created, without a doubt, the great run of a book ever. Although this 'Death of' arc didnt start til issue #25, Brubaker has done a great job with this series from issue one. With this issue, we see the walls going down on Zola and Skull (literally) and that everyone involved with bringing them down has won. The chase of Sin by Cap was entertaining and the way Bucky sacrifices himself to save the cops is truely what makes Captain America the hero he always was. The biggest (or should I say second biggest) shocked was the 'demise' of Zola and Skull. Totally a huge curveball and I just cheered loudly finally seeing Sharon kill Skull in cold blood. Plus the Grand Dictator killing Zola came out of no where either with Sharon saying 'Please Tell me your one of the good guys....'
Overall all the pieces fell into place into a nice conclusion that obviously from the last page (the real shocker) isnt over. Brubaker is still going to be on this series for a bunch more issues (at least for a couple more years) and with him on board you can be certain that this will still be one of the top series Marvel will offer to us. Hopefully Epting will stay on board too, giving us also the best art around in a comic book period. The characters and enviroments look so realistic, I wish this could be the Cap film just by this art alone.
I cannot wait for future issues, the trades, and hopefully another omnibus for this fantastic run. No other time in my life will I say that I will buy all of these things just for a series....oh and there is also something else to look forward to: BATROC THE LEAPER RETURNS!!! Hope you all enjoyed this series as much as I did.
Art: 5 - Excellent
Again, I completely agree with you. This was a great book this week.
