Captain America #15

Ed Brubakers time is winding down as #19 will be his last issue on a historic run that began in 2004. Cullen Bunn is an amazing writer and anyone that has not picked upThe Sixth Gunneeds to do so ASAP. However, do you remember how manyCaptain Americabooks you read back in 2003? I can tell you, none. Brubaker is not just another writer who pumped out some great books; he made the character relevant again and beyond. So enjoy the time we have left with Mr. Brubaker and his Eisner award winning talents on a beloved pop culture icon. Read Full Review

I've been a fan since Cap was reintroduced in the Silver Age, and I couldn't be happier! Read Full Review

I haven't read a Captain America book in a while, but this was a good read. Brubaker's eight year run is soon coming to an end and Bunn's along for the ride beginning with this issue. There's a lot of action and Eaton, Magyar, Guru EFX, and VC's Joe Caramanga make the book look visually stunning. Read Full Review

Captain America #15 continues the strong trend of fun action packed issues that are layered with good character work. Ed Brubaker, along with co-writer Ed Cullen, delivered on a comic that is just fun to read. With Scott Eaton on art, this issue is able to suck you into the adventure and gets you inside of what the character is thinking without having to rely on inner monologue. As we reach the conclusion of Brubakers epic run on the character it doesnt seem he is letting up on the gas pedal which means only exciting things for us as the reader. Read Full Review

Captain America #15 isn't a bad issue, but the Discordians aren't really that impressive and I've already grown tired of Bravo and Queen Hydra's (failed) attempts to fuck with Cap far from the battlefield. It's worth a look but not an issue you'll miss much if you decide not to pick it up. Read Full Review

After closing this issue, I'm left wondering what it is exactly that I just read. This just doesn't strike me as a memorable Captain America story. There isn't a higher standard of the American ideal in this book. Captain America is a fractured character in his own title, which makes for more drama with other characters, but for Cap, it's been done before. A little too much. Give me more stories of Cap fighting the bad guys and saving the day, please. Read Full Review

This was a really really weird issue that does not feel like part of Brubaker’s arc at all. The Discordians are just thrown at you and the reader has no idea who they are. The Howling Commandos come out of nowhere with hundreds in numbers and there rally felt extremely out of place. The Anti-Cap media campaign has been done many times before and this time it’s nothing exceptional. Brubaker is making it clear Bravo and Hydra are behind all this yet they don’t appear in this issue. Eaton’s art doesn’t fit the series at all
