The long-awaited return of an icon. Highly recommended.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Captain America: Reborn (Hardcover)
"Captain America: Reborn" is the culmination of Ed Brubaker's first five years on the title. It is truly epic in feel and execution, just like a summer blockbuster movie. The script is great and Bryan Hitch's art is simply amazing, reminiscent of his "Authority" and "Ultimates" days.As the title implies, Steve Rogers is brought back to life. While the destination was never in doubt (C'mon, show of hands: who among you *really* thought Steve Rogers would stay dead?), the journey itself is a roller-coaster ride. Steve Rogers is stuck in a time loop, jumping from one point of his life to another (a la Quantum Leap), trying to find a way to get back to the present. Meanwhile, in the present, his friends have figured out his situation and they try to get him back. We've got Bucky Cap, the Falcon, Sharon Carter, Mr.Fantastic, the (good) Avengers, and the Black Widow squaring off against the Red Skull, Sin, Crossbones, Arnim Zola, Osborn & the Dark Avengers, and a horde of MODOKs. Even people who have not been following this series from the beginning of Brubaker's run will enjoy this book. It is simply non-stop superhero action from start to finish. It's fast-paced, clever, and cinematic in scope. This is one for the book shelf, people. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

The return of the legend,
By Sean Curley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain America: Reborn (Hardcover)
Ed Brubaker's "Captain America" run set a new standard for mixing noir and science fiction elements to create epic, long-form plots that have not once but twice attempted an impossible story and made it work. Now, after two years of his original main character, Steve Rogers, lying mouldering in the grave, Brubaker initiates the next big story of his run. Joined by "Ultimates" artist Bryan Hitch on this special event miniseries, "Captain America: Reborn" is an interesting, if not completely successful, departure from the main series. Some spoilers follow.Picking up from Captain America #600, Steve's old allies (girlfriend Sharon Carter, successor James 'Bucky' Barnes, partner Sam Wilson, and James' girlfriend Natasha Romanova) scramble to track down his body and uncover the truth behind his seeming death. Expanding beyond the typical cast of characters in his story so far, we also get appearances by Ronin (Clint Barton, usually called Hawkeye), Hank Pym, Reed Richards, and the Vision. Meanwhile, the villains (the Red Skull, Dr. Doom, Norman Osborn, Arnim Zola) gather their forces and strike deals, as virtually the whole cast of the series up to this point comes into play. Contrary to what some critics of this series have suggested, Brubaker's run prior to this was not "grounded" in any real way; the first 51 issues included time machines, a cosmic cube, cyborgs, and all the usual Marvel technology. However, it felt a bit more "real" than much of this, due to a tendency to underplay things; here, Brubaker indulges in a lot more bombast than had previously been the case, giving the sci-fi less of a gritty gloss. There's not a huge amount of room for characterization here, but everyone feels right, and Brubaker does have an excellent feel for his expanded cast. Bryan Hitch takes over for the regular series artists, and while this isn't his best work, he does a good job; it took a while, but he's gotten more of a handle on 616 costumes. The series ends with the not especially surprising return, but there are also hints at what the next big story of Brubaker's run will be, as Steve's journey through time presented him with glimpses of future scenes. If they're any indication, the heavier presence of sci-fi is sticking. Recommended. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Does It Live Up To It's Hype?,
By Joseph Born "Joe" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain America: Reborn (Paperback)
Did the Captain America: Reborn event live up to all it's hype? In short, no. I knew it was inevitable. Captain America just couldn't be dead forever. None of Marvel's characters can!I digress, this event seemed drawn out. I won't lie, the art is good and the dialogue is good. But it just seemed... lacking. Overall, I recommend Captain America fans get this. For more casual Marvel fans, you can pass this over. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

It was inevitable...,
By G. YEO "gyeo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain America: Reborn (Hardcover)
It was perhaps inevitable that Captain America would return. Marvel - like DC - could never really kill off one of its flagship characters. But more importantly, Ed Brubaker hasn't done a bad job at all. It's been a while getting here, but credible and pretty well crafted. I'll admit that the main fault with this, and with Road to Reborn (the previous volume) was: I'm tired of reliving Captain America's past! His origin story, his adventures with Bucky and Zemo, etc - nonetheless, Hitch and Guice's artwork is the main constant and reason to read this. Dark, edgy and hyper realistic, it keeps the noir in the tale, in spite of rehashing the "flashbacks."The real question is: will we go back to the same ol' vanilla flavoured Cap or will we get better subplots. Bucky Barnes was a soldier for a new era - but not a symbol. Let's hope the future path of Steve Rogers won't be so straightforward after all these twists. I foresee a Captain America - Norman Osborn showdown in the near future... |
