One of the best things I´ve read in this past couple years was Brubaker´s run in Captain America, in fact, this was the first time ever that this character showed some appeal to me, since I´ve never read the title before and not knowing a lot about Bucky was really the key factor (also the amazing art of Epting) for me enjoying so much his return as Winter Soldier and then as Cap - it´s not only that Marvel killed him, but how it was done: first of all, what ridiculou kind of operation are Rogers and all the others running in this Fear Itself ar story? Washington is getting stomped by hundreds of mechabots and a godlike Sin and who are in the frontline: Bucky, Black Widow, Falcon and Shang Chi? Come on, where are the heavy hitters? Only 4 heroes (and b levels) against this kind of power? Also, in the fatal battle between Sin and Bucky, Immonen and Fraction made a terrible sequence, there´s no coherence between the scene where Sin clashes his bionic arm and the one after when she finishes him - so, this is the question: if Marvel must kill a hero, why not do it in a fashion and decent way, instead of a second grade plot, filled with holes and pathetic narrative, this dimminishes the character and frankly, made me angry while reading the issue. Still, Brubaker´s run in Captain America was one of the best things Marvel ever published and I praise everyone to read it, it´s worth! Peace
