Since Captain America 25 many peeps went out and read the comic for the very first time, (WOW caps dead) thats the reaction many had when it happened. I myself was curious to find out why, so i went out and got the Death of Captain America Vol 1 and Vol 2 to see what all the hype was about. After reading both GN's i was left wanting more i wanted to see what lead to it and what happens next.... Believe me when i say Ed Brubaker went all out on this story from the very first issue to Now. Since receiving my copy i didn't put it down till the last page. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, A+ or how ever you wanna rate it its good. So do your self a favor and buy this book. I promise you wont be disapointed. -d

It's ironic that the best ever incarnation of Captain America (at least in recent memery)also includes the death of Cap himself! Brubaker's writing is nuanced and detailed with every character highly defined, especially Bucky AKA The Winter Soldier. As outlandish as some of the plot twists may seem the writing keeps them somehow grounded in realism. The artwork also supports and creates the mood of the writng and is also very subtle and fantastic. Overall one of the very best comic runs that I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time! The best part is that it continues to the present (and hopefully for a long time to come!) beyond what is contained in the pages of this book (can a volume 2 be far behind?) Overall highly recommended!!

*WARNING* spoilers immediately ahead
This is the very first 25 issues of Ed Brubaker and Steve Eptings awe-inspiring run on the new "Captain America"--from the attempted assassination of the Red Skull and reintroduction of "Bucky" Barnes as the Winter Soldier to the highly publicized death of Steve Rogers.
I'll say that aside from Mark Millar's Ultimates run, Ed Brubaker writes Cap better than anyone. He nails the character and his supporting cast, and Brubaker's storylines feel truly authentic to America's second super-soldier. Equally impressive is the consistantly beautiful art by Steve Epting and Mike Perkins. I've never seen a book where the regular art and the fill-ins were this indistinguishable. Amazing.
This is the best superhero comic MARVEL currently puts out. It's a must own for for any comics fan. Buy it NOW!

Brubaker is the man. I buy everything with his name on it, and this Omnibus that collects the very first 25 issues of his run (leading up to the "Death of a Dream" storyline) is brilliant.
This edition collects the story arcs: "Out of Time", "The Winter Soldier", "21st Century Blitz", "Red is the Darkest Colour", "Collision Courses" and "The Drums of War (A Civil War Tie-In)" as well as the very first part of "The Death of a Dream". As well as the one-shots "Winter Soldier: Winter Kills" (which is my favourite single issue in the whole collection), "Captain America: 65th Anniversary Special", Captain America 10 (The house of M tie-in) and also "The Lonesome Death of Jack Monroe".
This book hooks you from the start (with issue one, probably being the best single issue of a regular captain america title) and never lets go, always ending each installment with a cliffhanger. I won't spoil it, if you haven't heard of it, but Brubaker brings back into the fold an old Captain America character, which could've gone horribly wrong, had this book not been so well written. This Omnibus really tells one big story, which is split up into many smaller story arcs, the sub-plots slowly build towards the big moment in Issue 25. My favourite story arcs are "Out of Time" and "The Winter Soldier", but all are enjoyable, specially the "21st Century Blitz" wich is set in England and has Cap team up with Union Jack.
Besides the amazing storyline, this collection is also full of extras. An introduction, by the one and only Ed Brubaker, the script to Captain America 25, profiles to both Winter Soldier and Captain America, some unfinished and unused art by Epting, a little report on the media reaction to the last issue this Omnibus collects. There are also three interviews with Brubaker, originally published in Marvel Spotlight, which togheter take up 16 pages. In the very first one he talks about his writing in general and his earlier work on this title, the second one he talks about killing Captain America and the third one is a short interview about the "Winter Soldier: Winter Kills" one-shot and about the Winter Soldier in general. There is also a short 3 page interview with Steve Epting about his art on the title.
Captain America has never been this good, if your a fan of Captain America, Ed Brubaker, the Espionage or Super-Hero Genre, comic books in general, I strongly advise you to pick this up. This collection is worth every penny you pay for it.
