This isn't the best issue of "Captain America" I've ever read. Really, it was only the third-best Ed Brubaker comic I read this week (though I only say that because 'Daredevil' and 'Criminal' were so good). Overall, Bru is doing a solid job of showing Bucky Barnes (sorry, James -- or can I only call him that if I'm sleeping with him?) acclimating to life as Captain America. I like that he's not really doing that great a job of it, out of the gate.
Still, I missed the supporting cast; with all due respect to Black Widow, who's a great character, I'd rather be following Sam Wilson and Sharon Carter, at this moment. Batroc the Leaper is entertaining enough, but he's no replacement for last arc's villain. And for that matter, Luke Ross is no replacement for Steve Epting.
But this issue really did wind up gripping me, and it was because of the flashback scenes. The first line of dialogue in the issue is Bucky asking, "You sure this is the right way, Steve?", and reading that gave me a jolt. Scenes taking us back to World War II days aren't exactly new in this series. Earlier in this volume, though, we've seen the flashbacks from Steve Rogers' point of view, reflecting on the seemingly lost Bucky. Now we have Bucky, reflecting back on his time fighting beside Steve. It's an intriguing symmetry (vividly illustrated by the great Epting cover), and I hope we get more of this as the arc goes on. Weaving together strands of the past and present is something Brubaker has done very well throughout his run on this book, and I can't wait to see where he takes it next.
Really, though. . .more Sam and Sharon next time. Having Widow say that they're fine doesn't count.
