Synopsis: Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, the Eisner award winning team (DAREDEVIL: YELLOW, SPIDER-MAN: BLUE, HULK: GRAY, Batman: The Long Halloween, Superman For All Seasons, Television’s HEROES) return to Marvel and their prestigious “color” book series. CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE is their newest creation, peeling back an untold tale of Captain America and Bucky during World War II. Their unique combination of in-depth characters and high stakes action shines here with Cap’s deadliest mission of all. Marvel is proud to bring you Captain America: #0 this summer as a taste of what’s to come. Featuring an all new full story about the Origin of Bucky Barnes and how he came into Cap’s life, this special edition features a plethora of extras. They are happy to be back at Marvel and we’re thrilled to have them!

Opinion: I am a HUGE fan of the Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale combo. These guys have produced some classics, folks. So for me—someone who hasn’t had much exposure to Captain America—this prologue to an upcoming six-issue mini-series called Captain America: White is a great and alluring way to get into the mythos.

And as expected, this comic delivers. Read more after the jump!

If you’re an old Cap fan, I have a feeling you’re going to like this comic—a fresh retelling of Bucky’s origin. This issue has a lot of great stuff, too, for you fanboys/girls. There’s some cool sketches mixed in with an interesting interview with Loeb and Sale. Not only is the interview fun and also helpful to new readers, but the issue itself is easy to get into—for new and old readers alike.

The art is simply fantastic, and the colors (by Dave Stewart) give it that old war-time feel while still maintaining a modern comic book art appeal. The writing/dialogue is fun and light-hearted, too. All in all, I highly recommend this one. I can’t wait to see what issue #1 has in store! Cap, you just got yourself a new fan. ;D
