3.25 starsNot quite as well written as Civil War, this story picks up after Captain America turns himself in, only to be assassinated soon after. Not a bad read.
No it’s not great literature but it is very entertaining and who doesn’t love to have some great bad guys to hate while rooting for the good guys to save the day. Definitely some correlations with our current world. Where is Captain America when we need him??
The comic story from just after Marvel's Civil War (the first one) gets adapted to a novel. To end the War, Captain America gives himself up. But the Red Skull and mental manipulator Dr. Faustus have schemes within schemes, and Steve Rogers is shot on the steps of the courthouse he's to be arraigned in. Who shot him? What happens next? On the one side, Sharon Carter, agent of SHIELD and Steve's love, along with Falcon, Black Widow, and Cap's former partner, now the Winter Soldier, dig in to the
The Death Of Captain America, By Larry Hama is a book adaptation of the Marvel graphic novel/comic series “The Death of Captain America” by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting. The superhero ‘Civil War’ is over, and Captain America has surrendered to the authorities. But as Steve Rogers prepares to stand trial, he is assassinated on the steps of the courthouse and is declared dead upon his arrival at the hospital. As America struggles with the death of a national hero, the question arises, who pulled t...
This novelization of the graphic novel was pleasant, but I did like the graphic novel version more. Sometimes it was obviously trying to describe things from the images. I wished Hama had moved farther from the original text to really make this its own product. The shifting perspectives were really interesting to follow the story.
I came to this novelization having read the series of comics it was based upon over a decade ago and being fairly familiar with Larry Hama's work on the G.I. Joe comic series, particularly from three decades ago. I was pleased to see Hama take the excellent work laid down by Ed Brubaker et al and craft it into a remarkably easy and enjoyable read. I'm glad I read this book as it made much clearer my vague recollection of the storyline and also solidified and clarified several confusions I had. T...
TL; DR Review: 4 stars. How dare this fucking audiobook remind me how emotional I am about Captain America.More reviews @ The BibliosantcumLong Review:I have been wanting to try a GraphicAudio production, which describes itself as a movie in your head, for quite some time. Among books listed there include many comics and books such as Mistborn, Dante Valentine, and Cemetery Girl. All their books include a full multi-voice cast, music, and action sound sequences.I was impressed with the qualit...
This Graphic Audio audio books are so cool! I think especially when it comes to a comic book style story, having the sound effects and different voice actors just really brings everything to life. I would rather listen to one of these than watch a movie of the same style any time. As for the narrative content, I liked that a lot too. I've been reading a whole lot more DC than Marvel stuff recently. I grew up thinking I was more of a Marvel fan because of the X-Men, but my recent reading history
I've really been enjoying these Marvel graphic audiobooks and this one was certainly no exception. The voice acting and audio production was excellent, and the story itself is pretty good too. This is probably one of the better ones I've listened to, as I think the material was handled well.One of the small criticisms I have of these books (and this one in particular) is that it often feels like they're trying to recreate the Marvel Cinematic Universe style sense of humor and playfulness, and in...
A Review of the Audiobook by GraphicAudioPerformed by a multicast.Duration: 5 hours, 35 minutes.Unabridged.Set in the days after the conclusion of the superhero Civil War, this book deals with the aftermath of the assassination of Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) on his way to a courthouse to face a judge for not complying with a superhero registration policy. If you are only familiar with the Marvel movie Captain America: Civil War , this movie will be confusing. The movie is inspired by t...
I listened to the audiobook from Graphic Audio. The full cast audio and the sound effects are quite good. This book would fit nicely in the MCU. This book does pretty well explaining the fight scenes and the accompanying sounds definitely make this a pretty good book. I was turned off by a few curse words (less than 4 the whole novel).
An ok tale but the writing is sometimes a bit hard work and sometimes my interest flagged. Unlike the Civil War prose novel the characters just seem to lack any depth or likablity so you sort of end up not caring what happens.The tale ends pretty much where you expect at the start with no big plot points that make it worth the journey.Only for die hard Marvel fans.
Well, I picked this up in epub thinking this was the actual comic and curious of how I would be able to read it in my ebook reader, but it turns out it is actually a novelization of the comics, lol, go me!! XDBTW it was pretty entertaining with some really good moments. Being English not my first language I had some minor problems understanding some of the technological stuff, but nothing too bad. Also I love Bucky and I love Bucky and Natasha together even more, so all is good!
