Brubaker throws us headlong into what feels very much volume two of his Cap opus. It's brighter and breezier, far more action oriented and seems to leave much of the murky colours, along with murky espionage of the first 5 years somewhere in the past. This is a Cap comic clearly designed for the movie audience, not wallowing in all that continuity but at the same time embracing the historical elements woven into the heart of the character.
It's a lot, lot pacier with action sequences throughout. Mcniven was always going to be that kind of artist, and thankfully he keeps up. It's not the glory of his Civil War work, but it's getting back to that style. Certainly there's way more detail and background than that godawful turn he gave us on Nemesis.
Storywise things feel a lot more straightforward and streamlined. Steve's still a man out of time which is important to what makes him unique, but at the same time the plot has shed anything from recent years that might throw off the casual reader. It's about Steve's lothario war time ways when he won Peggy Carter's heart from another hero and the deal said (long thought dead) hero strikes with Zemo to get his revenge all these years later. In recent months the Cap book had undergone a renaissance I thought and it's a shame all that seems to have gone away, but at the same time my gut as a longtime comics reader really responded to this book. I guess, in all fairness, there's a real sense of excitement and fun here that Brubaker kind of shied away from when going for the Cold War atmosphere of his earlier stuff. Both are worlds apart but they've their own validity just the same.
If I have a real negative to take away, it's the absence of Bucky. Sharon and Nick are onboard but Barnes is still apparently dead. It wouldn't be so bad if his passing had been so ignominious and forgettable. Brubaker did the impossible to bring him back so convincingly so it seems a shame that such a well rounded character seems to have been casually thrown to the wolves (by a different writer no less) for the apparent means of encouraging new readers likely to be put off by too much continuity.
That aside though, this is a lot of fun but still felt like a substantial tale. With the Samnee drawn sister title set in the past to come later this month, there's real life in this old dog yet.
