This post relates to: Captain America, Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting, Bucky Barnes
I was thinking about getting this since it was a great story and would look nice on my shelf. Then I saw the pricetag. Seems a little steep, since I've already read all these issues. Don't get me wrong, it's a great storyline. Brubaker is simply amazing and I couldn't imagine it drawn by anyone other than Epting. It's too bad. I think a lot will get turned off by that. Guess I'll have to wait until they release it in a different format. I'm not saying I'm a cheap-o. I did pay a hundred bucks (minus gift cards) for the Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus and the Madman hardcover but those have A LOT more than 27 issues. Go to someplace online like amazon and you can pick it up for closer to $50. It's a great read.
