Captain America #42 REVIEW
Original at Marvel Comics Headlines
• Sat, Sep 27
Captain America #42 Marvel Comics Brubaker, Epting & Ross At Skull base, Falcon and Black Widow are trying to find Sharon and are cutting their way through Skull’s minions. Zola and Skull are up to one last trick with Sharon as they hook her up to a machine. She fights back and blows up some of Zola’s work. They decide to scuttle the base. The strength of this title has been the supporting cast and that is obvious in this issue. Cap is involved in the secondary story. He’s not fighting Skull, he’s fighting his daughter. Even Falcon and Widow are really just providing backup to Sharon. Sharon is the real star of the comic and it doesn’t feel at all forced. This has been building for some time. [read the full post]

Comic Book Review: New Avengers #43: Secret Invasion
Original at Rokk's Comic Book Revolution
• Sun, Jul 27
By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Synopsis: We begin with the 1970’s Captain America (who we all know is a Skrull) squaring off against Ka-Zar, Shanna and Spider-Man. The 1970’s Cap calls our heroes Skrulls and says that he does not have time to talk. That he has to get back to the United States. The 1970’s Captain America then begins to brawl with our heroes. The 1970’s Captain America proceeds to kick ass on Ka-Zar, Shanna and Spider-Man. Billy Tan and Danny Miki deliver a solid looking issue. I love Tan’s pencils; however, I am not that huge a fan of Miki’s inks. Still, New Avengers #43 was a quality looking issue. Tan did a fantastic job capturing the intense nature of the 1970’s Captain America. Tan’s Captain America practically radiated anger and hate. [read the full post]

However, he can honor Steve and make Steve proud of him with his own style of being Captain America. I have to say that I think Bucky makes an awesome Captain America. Brubaker is handling Bucky’s transitioning into the role of Captain America perfectly. I like that Brubaker has Bucky continually emphasis that he is not Steve Rogers. That he cannot act like Steve and do the same things that Steve did. That Bucky has to do things his way in order to honor Steve and to make him proud. [read the full post]
