We’ve finally reached the end of Ed Brubaker’s classic run on Captain America in issues 37-42. Steve Rogers is dead, probably forever, but now we’ve got Bucky running around with the shield.

We also get some other clown who thinks he’s Steve, and the Red Skull is trying to get his puppet elected as president while also doing some time travel shenanigans.

Then we get to the beginning of the end in Thunderbolts #10. The secret is out! But how???

Watch out crooks, there’s a new Captain America in town. And he’s got a gun! Steve Rogers is dead and Bucky is taking over as we pick back up with Ed Brubaker’s run on Captain America in issues #31-36.

Then we continue reading the Thunderbolts with an interlude in the Thunderbolts ’97 Annual as we learn all about how the team came together.

We’ve been building up to the Death of Captain America for a few years now, and it’s finally time to read the most memorable moment from Ed Brubaker’s run in issues #25-30! 

Find out if Cap’s supporting characters can sustain the book without him! Also learn a lot about how secret psychic activation codes work.

Then, we move on to Earth X #8, which continues to improve and also prominently features a werewolf astronaut. Coincidence?

Some of My Friends Read Comics 209 – Captain America by Ed Brubaker, Pt. 4 + Knightfall #16

It’s been a long time, but we’re finally getting back to some of Ed Brubaker’s run on Captain America. We’ve been building up to the big death scene… it’s gonna happen soon! We swear!

Just not in this episode. 

We read issues #18-24 where Cap takes a trip to the UK and fights a giant robot with Bucky, and then the Civil War event breaks out and we spend some time with the ensemble cast.

After that, it’s back to some more of Knightfall with Chapter 16 in Detective Comics 665, where Bruce Wayne learns he can’t fight thugs quite as well while he’s in a wheelchair.
