I read the first issue when it came out and did not buy it. I asked my comic book guy to hold onto a copy for me in case the second issue was as good. I read the second issue and was sold. Brubaker and the various artists that have worked on the title have been doing a superlative job month in and month out. This is an awesome collection and I usually don't buy collections of material I already own. Marvel's production values are top notch.
Everything a modern Captain America fan can want! March 29, 2009

Post-WWII Captain America to me has always been like a joke. Sorta that man-out-of-time story that seems more like a bad long-running gag than a character anyone would take seriously....that is until Ed Brubaker started writing him.
These first 25 issues (plus the excellent one-shots: Winter Kills and 65th anniversay) are the very best Captain America (if not best superhero)stories I've ever read! Cap finally is looked at as a flawed human being who's trying to get a grip on modern reality and at the same time trying to defend his belief in the world. The stories also take on kind of a spy-thriller tone (alot going on behind the scenes as much as up front) giving the superhero action the energy of a Daniel Silva novel.
Along with the stories, this omnibus collects a satisfying amount of news articles and interviews with the people behind this fantastic comic. I usually don't care about 'extras' in comic collections but I found the 'makings-of/reactions to' this comic almost as facinating as the comic itself.
I honestly can't say enough great things about this collection. If you're a fan of the superhero genre (or maybe a Sleeper fan: another superhero/spy series by Ed Brubaker): BUY IT! It seems like alot of money but you seriously get your $$ worth.
