The Trial of Captain America, from the spectacular stage of Ed Brubaker, has just been published by Panini as the fifth volume of the Marvel Integral series

The stage of Brubaker responsible for the collection of Sentinel of Liberty It is probably one of those that leave an indelible mark on the reader. within the line Marvel Integral Captain America had already been published: The Winter Soldier, Civil war, The Death of Captain America and the legend lives on.

AND penultimate volume of the Ed Brubaker era about Captain America is a fairly heterogeneous volume, including a large amount of additional material and the four issues of a standalone miniseries, but omitting the final ten issues of Brubaker’s Captain America work, which will certainly be published in a sixth volume.

Another aspect that draws attention to the selection of this volume is that the two versions of Brubaker on Captain Americaalthough sequential, they offer a very different stylistic tone. This means that towards the end of the book we move from the spy and noir material, which has been the general tone of these collections, to the more straightforward superhero material. Excellently drawn by Steve McNiven and for Alan DavisIt doesn’t have the same appeal for those who have thus far appreciated Brubaker’s Captain America.

As the collection opens, it continues The legend lives on, Steve Rogers He returns from apparent death to find that someone else is now Captain America, and in a decent plot, he agrees with that choice, consistent with Rogers’ high moral standing. He thinks he should get some rest, though that’s interrupted by a meager, largely action-based interlude when someone tries to market the formula that turned Rogers into Captain America.

The main version of Captain America that we follow for the first two-thirds of this book, then, is the version of My Friend Bucky Barnes. The general public does not know who is wearing the costume, but this has increasing repercussions as the volume increases. It is a slow start, despite the artists Butch Guizza And Luca Ross they endure their ending, but it gradually becomes a very beautiful story when the title sequence comes.

Captain America, or Barnes, is on trial and it’s a morally unstable issue. brubaker Highlights research from all angles and extend the tension, but, curiously, the gritty atmosphere of the series has been so well defined Guide, Red And Steve Epting in front of them, that the style of Daniel Acuña, generally appreciated everywhere, gives a discordant tone.

Brubaker’s plot of the events leading up to the trial, the procedures themselves and the conclusion are up to the generally high standard which has held up to this day and there is a good epilogue set in Russia. This presents Guice’s unusual approach, Mike Deodato And Chris Samneeeveryone contributes, each of its pages highlights a separate character (Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and Black Widow). From then on comes the more straightforward superhero material, competent but never convincing.
