Narrative Concering Books Captain America: Red Menace (Captain America (2004) (Collected Editions) #3-4)
Crossbones and Sin are on a rampage across the Midwest, attacking AIM outposts. Cap and Agent 13 head to Europe and team up with Spitfire and Union Jack to protect Aleksander Lukin and find Bucky.Ed Brubaker's stellar Captain America run continues. We get Crossbones deprogramming the Red Skull's daughter, an untold tale of Captain America, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos from World War II, and a trip to merry old England to team up with Union Jack and Spitfire. Cap and Bucky briefly team up, which was more satisfying than their brief clash in the last volume.
The villains were well done. What's going on with Aleksander Lukin anyway? I liked the parts focusing on Crossbones and Sin. Master Man was as inept as always. Was he based on Miracleman/Marvelman originally? I loved the interactions between Cap, Agent 13, Spitfire, and Union Jack.
Honestly, there's not a lot else to talk about. Brubaker is the master of pacing and managed to take a fairly cheesy robot and make it a credible threat. So far, Brubaker's run on Captain America is everything a comic should be. Four easy stars.

Loving Ed Brubaker's Captain America run. Easily one of the best comic series of all time.Watch out, Middle America, Sin and Crossbones are about to go all Badlands on your rear ends! Smile for the A.I.M. security cameras, you two. Well, Crossbones is wearing a mask.This is one of the better volumes in Ed Brubakers excellent Captain America run. Brubaker has a knack for combining espionage, noir and super heroism in a big bundle of fun and mayhem. Hes got a lot of moving parts, but is able to weave them together into a seamless, satisfying whole.You have Captain America and Sharon
This week's theme for the Shallow Comic Readers is, well, pot luck!The daughter of the Red Skull shows up and causes tons of trouble. The search for Bucky continues. Will Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter get back together? Adnd where is Nick Fury?Some of these questions are answered, some are not, but Ed Brubaker and crew do an excellent job of pushing the story forward, without any pause in action or extraneous plots. I never feel bored reading Brubaker, regardless of what title he's writing, and
Even though this book kept giving me the feeling that this is just in the beginning and Cap has no idea of what's going on, there are some parts that are really great. Sin's reconditioning is awesome as well Cap and Bucky's fight vs the Sleeper. Other than that, I can't wait to know what Fury has in store for Bucky as well as what is the Red Skull planning.
The first couple of issues really spent too long on some of thr characters. The ending was fun. The art was great with the artists here. Brubaker is one of my fave writers but this just didnt seem to be on par with his other stuff. Capt America also seems to be a superhero Im not as obsessed with yet.
Kind of feels like a come-down after the craziness of the Winter Soldier's debut. The trip to the UK is a nice change of pace, though.
As I've noted in my reviews of certain other "graphic reads" (when I was young we called them comics or comic books) I am a long (long,long) time fan of Captain America. I began reading the books during the so called "Silver Era" of comics. I did not however keep up with them after the '70s. Now I occasionally dip back into the genre and see how things are going with the favorite hero and roll model of my youth.Many of the things the writers did with Cap over the years bothered me (and many
