The second collected storyarc in Ed Brubaker's relaunched Captain America series is pretty much on par with the very first volume. That means, if you enjoyed Brubaker's very first collection, you'll dig this as well. However, that also means that if you didn't like Brubaker's very first collection, this one won't win you over. Continuing where the very first Winter Soldier collection left off, Cap learns that the Winter Soldier is indeed his old, thought long dead partner Bucky; resulting in a face off between the two. Throughout this TPB, there are also appearances from the Falcon, Nick Fury, and a hint in regards to the "death" of the Red Skull. The book is well paced and full of espionage and action, while Steve Epting's artwork is pretty solid as well. All that being said, there's nothing really special about the second volume of Brubaker's run on Captain America, but it's not as bad as some reviewers are making it out to be. Yes, no one in comics stays dead forever (ironic considering Cap himself recently bit the big one), but at least it gets to be moderately entertaining from time to time.

It is not unusual to kill off a comic book character. What is rare is to have the departed one stay dead. DC was successful in killing and reviving Superman and has recently brought both Green Lantern and Green Arrow back from the land of the almost dead. Marvel is giving us a look at their very first Captain Marvel again.
One of the few characters who managed to stay dead was Captain America's original partner: James Buchanan Barnes. Aside from a pseudo return in the fifties, Bucky has remained safely frozen in the past. According to artist Mike Perkins, Marvel editors were skeptical about the pitch by writers to revive Bucky, but were convinced by the strength of the proposed storyline.
Winter Soldier is fun to read with the usual Cap elements: Nick Fury, Sharon Carter, WW2 flashbacks, Red Skull with the Falcon thrown in for good measure. The artwork is dark or sepia-toned and blends well with flashback pages. There is the usual Cap soul-searching and shield-slinging. I did find his grey ops work a little disturbing as I can remember Cap changing his identity to Nomad when disillusioned over Watergate revelations. In the pages of Winter Soldier, however, he mentions disappointment in the current administration because they are too committed to the rule of law.
However, it is just a comic book and not an editorial. So, regardless of the reader's ideology, if you are a Cap fan, you will enjoy Winter Soldier. If not, this arc is a good way to reconnect with the character and to read the background to Cap's own shuffling off of this mortal coil (at least for a while.)
Rated by buyers -
Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting's WINTER SOLDIER arc for Captain America is as defining for the character of Cap as it is for the agents of SHIELD and for those who believed that certain characters shouldn't come back from the dead. It's a great story with great development and it truly is a great arc.

part 2 is a total mess (pt 1 wasn't much better). overall if you are a captain america fan you'll probably hate this for many reasons, if you are a casual comics fan you might think its ok, if you read a lot of comics and are tired of the same overused garbage from the big two publishers you'll hate this.
