It's amazing how one writer who perfectly writes one character can completely fix the mess another writer never should of had the opportunity to do. That's the case with this first epilogue to the worthless Fear Itself series. I said all along that I thought it was a travesty to not have Ed Brubaker write the death of Bucky, a character he's spent years turning into one of the most complex characters currently at Marvel. This book gives Bru not only the chance to address that, but to undo it. And he does it in a way that makes it seem like you're reading an issue of Captain America. Butch Guice's art makes you feel that way as well, since he has been a long time art partner of Brubaker's. The story nicely wraps up the final arc of the last volume of Captain America, which was something that felt forgotten thanks to the rush job that was Fear Itself. It also sets up Bru's new series focusing on the Winter Soldier. Bucky is dead, long live Bucky.
