because i knew a majority of what happened in this already, my favourite part of this was definitely the one-shot "winter soldier winter kills". bucky barnes centric and a kate bishop appearance? yes please

I think that reading this alone out of the whole series doesn't give you the entire picture. I feel like I have some holes in my understanding. I am hoping my library has all or most of these. I like the idea of presenting the situation through the eyes of various characters in the Marvel world. Each one would have a different vantage point based on their worldview and life experiences. It's not a big surprise that Captain America and Iron Man come out on different sides of the issue. However, C...

This was a interesting title since Captain America is only in 1 out of the 4 issues. The first one with Sharon, and getting a deeper look into the character, and her love for Steve was interesting. It's a well told tale, and also the ending is building up to a big moment in Captain America's future. I also thought the Winter Solider one was pretty interesting. Get to see how much of a spy he is and a little bit more story on Nick. The Cap issue was kind of meh actually and not all that interesti...

Every comic in this collection is a reflective piece and serves loosely as a premonition. Sharon Carter/Agent 13 reflects on her role as an agent, as a lover , supporter of Registration Act and as a soldier. Her monologue during her psych evaluation screams "chaos" and its seen in the end panel why. Nick Fury and Winter Soldier team up to investigate further complexities this civil war has brought upon the world of superheroes and espionage. It was good to see them together working on a common g...

Just two quick points here. First is that this arc is back to focusing on Agent 13, Nick Fury, and Bucky Barnes, instead of on Captain America -- although it is good to see Cap go rogue after having previously chided him for being so boringly lawful/good. Second is that this trade paperback has all of four issues in it, and one of them is a barely related one-off of Bucky encountering Vision, a female Hawkeye, and some other rogue superheroes, which while interesting, didn't really have much to

I wish this had been titled "Civil War: Winter Soldier" because then I would have expected what I actually got from this. Granted, this was still a good comic and I don't regret having read it. But it does require previous knowledge of the Civil War event (check) and context of the series (not check; I only read vol. 1 of this series a while back and never got around the the other three volumes unfortunately).Captain America is trying to fight Red Skull during the Civil War arc, which is news to...

3.5 starsI enjoyed this, it wasn't mind blowing or anything and i knew most of what happened in this but I'm still glad i read it. I like Sharon and enjoyed seeing more of her arc and her relationship with Cap as i haven't read much of that before.The winter kills one-shot was probably my favourite part, i really enjoyed seeing Bucky and Kate (two of my favourite characters in the marvel universe) interact it was very awesome. Not sure how many of these Civil War arcs I'm going to read, I'm enjo...

Oh, Brubaker... when you're good, you're good, but when you're bad, you're abysmal.

Edition combines The Drums of War and Winter Kills.Back when I was reading Marvel Civil War--after it had concluded, I borrowed it from a friend who had the entire saga in e-book form--I picked my way through the threads I thought would be most interesting but got pretty fatigued with it toward the end. While I read Fallen Son, I either skipped this chapter or skimmed through it quickly enough that I don’t remember reading it before. After getting hooked on the Captain America story in the movie...

While I feel that this story is cohesive within both the Civil War and Captain America series, I didn't feel like it lived up to its full potential.It is a fun espionage styled story, with perhaps more depth than one might expect from a tie-in. But I like to keep the bar high, and this didn't quite satisfy. A nice read and better than some of the other tie-ins for sure. Good to read in the climax to Cap's Death though.

This was a good comic, but I thought it would have more of what happened to Captain America during the Civil War. It was nice to see Bucky, Nick Fury, Sharon Carter, and Steve again. Quite good.

Here we're in the thick of the Marvel Universe Civil War, seeing things form Cap's point of view, as well as plenty of scenes from Bucky's point of view. There isn't much actual Iron Man vs. Cap combat fighting in this one, which I'm kind of grateful for; I love both characters and reading a story which puts them at odds - it's hard. Great appearances and written-out roles for Dum Dum, Sharon, Nick Fury, and even the Vision!As usual, Cap is the one pulling back to see the larger picture, and I l...

This was 3 separate stories. The Winter Soldier one was tbe best the others were pretty meh. Wasnt overly fond of this short event.

Wow, I guess I never left a review for this either.This doesn't show a significant part of the Civil War storyline. It doesn't even show 1/4 of the storyline. It's a few issues that basically deal more with how Sharon is handling Steve's rebellion than anything else. The last issue with Bucky and the Young Avengers is my favorite. It's also a really wonderful look at how Bucky's been coming to terms with everything he missed while he was the Winter Soldier. Namely, Toro's death and the way the w...

For something titled Civil War: Captain America, this is rather lacking on the Cap front. Front and centre are Bucky and Sharon Carter, with a strong dose of Fury. Cap's role is pretty incidental, really. It's good for getting the perspective of some of the most important people in Steve's life, during the Civil War event: it's interesting that neither of them are particularly on his side, despite their strong affection for him.Also, gotta love the brief appearance of some of the Young Avengers,...

Ed Brubaker was in the middle of his excellent run on Captain America when Civil War occurred, and you’d think he’d have had some input on it since Cap was such a key figure. However, you get the distinct impression when reading this now that Brubaker saw it merely as an annoying interruption to his story flow and just wasn’t that interested in participating.Instead, we get some solid side tales with Sharon Carter a/k/a Agent 13 and Bucky Barnes a/k/a Winter Soldier dealing with the implications...

This was so good. It focuses on multiple stories like what's going on with Sharon and how her personal life is clashing with her Shield life now that Cap is an outlaw and how she struggles with it and the other focusing on Steve as he tries to run and evade Shield while taking down Hydra. But most of the story is about Bucky coming to terms with the present reality like taking down enemies on Fury's command and we follow him as he evades the civil War and the other story focusing on him on Chris...

I enjoyed this book, but it doesn't seem to focus too much on Captain America. It's more about Sharon Carter, and Winter Solider. I wanted to read this because I wanted to see what else Cap might have been doing in the Civil War event, but instead you get Agent 13 getting a psyche evaluation, and Winter Solider talking about Christmas?If I had to guess I would say that what was going on here is that Ed Brubaker wanted to keep working on his Cap series, but Marvel said he had to tie in to the Civ...

This is one more collection of side stories that relate to Marvel's Civil War. Although this says Captain America this is more like characters that are close to Captain America. This collection deals with Agent 13, Winter Soldier, and Nick Fury.I enjoyed this collection although it did not add anything to the major story arc. The story of whether Agent 13 should be with Captain America or betray him was well done and shows how this war is affecting everything from work to one's personal life. Th...

This was a good collection. At that point, Brubaker was still in his "better" Captain America phase, and the way he built the tension was really well done.Winter Soldier: Winter KillsThe Winter Soldier gets sent on a covert mission by Nick Fury to prevent the Young Avengers from raiding a Hydra base. Something happens which leads him to actually have to lead them in taking down the base. An action-packed, yet bitter-sweet issue, but all-around good reading. Captain America: Civil War Sharon Cart...
