Captain America 65th Anniversary Special

Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artists: Javier Pulido and Marcos Martin
Epilogue Art: Mike Perkins and Frank D’Armata
Colorist: Javier Rodriguez

Plot: Captain America and his sidekick Bucky are planted into Germany to help the embedded resistance take down a German garrison. They find out that the Red Skull is there searching for a 500 year old legend that could help turn the tide in favor of the Nazis.

Review: I am totally digging Ed Brubaker’s run on Daredevil and having Ed Brubaker write this one shot 65th anniversary issue is a masterstroke. I think that Marvel may have hit a home run bringing him on the payroll. This issue is a back story that brings together Captain America, his greatest nemesis, Red Skull, and an evil baron that makes a nice cliffhanger end to the comic. I can’t speak more highly of Ed Brubaker’s work so far with Marvel and this issue is definitely one you have to pick up this week.
 

Special thanks go out to Jeremy Shorr, owner of Titan Comics for allowing us to use his advance preview books for review purposes.
