![]() I really considered reading Civil War, truly. This was actually pretty good for being all part of an event that I haven't read much of and thus have barely any context. Happy 4th of july, Captain America really says fuck the government and politicians in particular. If you’re like me and enjoy Brubaker’s work on Captain America a lot more than Civil War then it’s kinda satisfying to see how he just kind of breezed by it here. Brubaker seemed perfectly content to ignore the crossover and focus on laying the groundwork for the next big event on Cap’s horizon which was dying.Ī reader looking for more insight into Cap’s mindset like we got with other characters like Iron Man and Spider-Man in their tie-in books might be disappointed. There’s really not all that much with Cap and his main contribution involves him taking down a Hydra base rather than fighting with Tony Stark. Instead, we get some solid side tales with Sharon Carter a/k/a Agent 13 and Bucky Barnes a/k/a Winter Soldier dealing with the implications of Civil War. ![]() ![]() However, you get the distinct impression when reading this now that Brubaker saw it merely as an annoying interruption to his story flow and just wasn’t that interested in participating. Ed Brubaker was in the middle of his excellent run on Captain America when Civil War occurred, and you’d think he’d have had some input on it since Cap was such a key figure. ![]()
