Storyline: Death of Captain America
Date: August 20, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artists: Steve Epting and Frank D’Armata

Synopsis: The epic “Death of Captain America” tale hits its penultimate chapter … and the final battle between the New Captain America and the people who killed Steve Rogers begins here!

Opinion: The mismatch of villains that has successfully murdered Steve Rogers crippled the American economy and is in the process of rigging the 2008 election is finally starting to make mistakes. Without giving anything away I can tell you, our most esteemed readers, that the ultimate alliance of Cap’s most powerful enemies is finally starting to show some cracks in the armor as dissent flairs up between the megalomaniac evil doers.

Storyline: The Man Who Bought America part 4
Date: July 16th, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artist: Steve Epting

Synopsis: It’s Cap versus Cap for the future of the American Dream as the Red Skull looks on in laughter! And Bucky learns the true identity of the man behind the other mask! The epic Death of Captain America continues in Part Four of “The Man Who Bought America” by the acclaimed team of Brubaker and Epting.

Opinion: If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and acts like a duck than it’s probably a duck. Fortunately for us, the man who looks and sounds like the former Steve Rogers is acting nothing like the late Sentinel of Liberty. He’s mean, aggressive and is thoroughly beating the hell out of James (Bucky) Barnes.

Storyline: The Man Who Bought America part 3
Date: June 25, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artist: Steve Epting

Synopsis: Okay, what the heck is going on here? Is that two guys in Captain America outfits? Yeah, it is.
More than that, we cannot say.   The epic Death of Captain America continues in Part Three of “The Man Who Bought America” by the acclaimed team of Brubaker and Epting.

Opinion: As bleak as many view the current status of these United States, things are that much worse as they are portrayed within Captain America.  Steve Rogers (the original Cap) has been assassinated, the economy is in shambles and the Red Skull has set up a third party presidential candidate whose numbers soar in the atmosphere of fear and mistrust.

It is under these circumstances that a new Captain America has risen. James (Bucky) Barnes has claimed the mantle from his mentor and now stands against the hordes at the city’s gates. However, Dr. Faustus has set up another heir apparent.
