Some how Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting were able take Bucky (once believed to be one of the lamest characters) to replace an assasinated Steve Rogers as Captain America and it comes off amazing. The art is incredible, the plot has so many twists without being out of the realm of comic book possibilities, and its all fantastic. I don't know how this could have been any better!! Great stuff!!... more

Publisher: Marvel Comics
November 18, 2009
This book is what it would be like if Hollywood suddenly began producing crime comics instead of movies. Ed Brubaker is a mastermind when it comes to writing crime comics. There are 3 narratives here that are all interconnected. The whole of this story is much greater than the sum of its parts. Can't wait for Deluxe Edition 2. ... more

| 3. Daredevil Omnibus, Vol. 1 | 
|
By: Ed Brubaker
Publisher: Marvel Comics
July 01, 2009
What a fantastic book! I started reading Daredevil back when movie director Kevin Smith came on board to tell a story (back in the late '90's). Writer Brian Michael Bendis followed this up with five years of great stories that kept me hooked and pulled me in deeper to the character's history. Passing the torch to Ed Brubaker seemed a logical choice, as he has done fantastic work in similar stories... more

November 26, 2008
While I read a lot of Marvel titles, I haven't kept up as well as I apparently need to in order to know all the characters in this crossover.
Some positives:
Even though this section is much smaller than my complaints below, I want to be clear that I enjoyed the storyline. The overall plot was well thought out, and I enjoyed reading the Summit notes at the end of the trade... more

| 6. Batman: The Man Who Laughs |
|
By: Ed Brubaker
Publisher: DC Comics
February 03, 2009
This is a well told story with good artwork. It's not quite as good as Batman: Year One, but I don't think anything is (personally, I prefer Year One to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns). This is a good sequel, and an enjoyable sequel to Y1. Do you need to own it? It's probably worth it... I am glad I bought it. ... more

Ed Brubaker, the talent who brought readers "The Death of Captain America" and breathed new life into characters like Dare Devil and Iron Fist, in //Sleeper: Season Two// continues and concludes this superb noir tale of espionage. Readers who missed Season One will quickly come up to speed and doubtless enjoy this dark tale, perfectly suited to Brubaker's gifts for moral ambiguity and hard-boiled... more

The number one, best comic books ever in my opinion is the Watchmen #1-12.
The number two, best comic books ever in my opinion is Captain America #1-25 and all the other extra issues they have in here. I've read this Omnibus like 3 times since I got it... last Christmas or the Christmas before I forget. It's really that great... more

By: Ed Brubaker, Roger Stern, Mark Waid, Luke Ross, Gene Colan, Dale Eaglesham, Butch Guice
Publisher: Marvel Comics
February 17, 2010
There is little in the way of contribution here to the primary story line. While the extras interesting, I felt like I had paid too much for too little, at least compared to preceding publications. Hopefully, the next installment will have more solid content and less unrelated flash back stories. ... more
