Death of Captain America Vol.2 (Marvel)

Brubaker continues to shatter all preconceived notions of what a lame book Captain America can be! As only a truly great writer can, Brubaker takes watershed moments like the resurrection of Bucky and the death of Cap himself and turns them from shocking publicity stunts into instant classic moments that will define this character and series for the next fifty years!

Having killed off Cap in issue twenty-five, the series continues with just as much riveting action as before, proving that the cast of characters surrounding Cap are just as well defined as our hero. Volume two escalates the tension as the Red Skull’s plans to throw the world into chaos start riots in the streets and Bucky makes the decision to carry the shield and become the new Captain America! This is easily one of the best comics on the shelves today. You’ll be shocked by how good it is!

Also highly recommended is the Captain America Omnibus HC. It’s pricey, but collects the first twenty five issues and a couple specials in an over sized format that will catch you up on what’s going on and what everybody’s talking about in proper style.
