Winter Soldier (USA) di E.Brubaker & B.Guice

[Nightmist]

mamma mia che serie, non vedo l'ora di leggerla in italiano, sperando che la panini non decida per una collocazione ad minchiam 

Probabilmente va sul mensile Cap, non vedo altra soluzione plausibile 

anche per me sarebbe la soluzione più logica, ma a mantova hanno detto che non sanno su quale mensile metterlo, per cui finchè non vedo...

non so chi sia questo tizio ma mi ha fatto piegare dal ridere

[Azrael]

"Winter Soldier" #4 sets this title back on track and cements why Brubaker and company are making the best action comic on the stands. There are many layers at work in this issue and that's exactly how the premiere espionage book of the Marvel U should be: action and story dropped at the same time, all while exciting and amazing the reader.

Readers need to understand they are getting an inordinate amount of fun for their $2.99 on "Winter Soldier." The art might be moody and the spy fu is dialed up to max, but at its heart this is a book that wants you to have a good journey with it. Brubaker is mastering this tone of playing spies while keeping it all in the confines of the Marvel U.

The issue's greatest asset is the plentiful heaping of Doom on Doom action. A Doombot and the Doctor himself face off and the results show the power and ridiculous pomp of the character. Every panel a Doom is in could be the panel of the year. Even better, Bucky interacts exceptionally well with Doom to make the vibe of this book a real "nod your head along" playlist of back and forth still with narrative progression. This is the best Doom we have seen for years.

The overall arc of this issue is well metered with a delicious ending, but it's a lot of the little moments that resonate the most. The Black Widow sneaks a smirking glance sideways out at the reader during one hilarious moment or takes a bike ride in a very mesmerizing page of rain, motion, and little tics. Bullets tag an innocent caught in the middle of a fight and Bucky reacts while the background is splattered red. "Winter Solider" is a book that delivers on small and large beats.

Butch Guice, ably assisted with the inks of Stefano Gaudiano and Brian Thies, makes this book feel pulpier than a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Mixed with the colors of Bettie Breitweiser and Matthew Wilson, "Winter Soldier" has one of the best art teams matched to the style and tone of the content in any book shipping today. They deliver the feel of this world and story perfectly, working hard to tell the story in effective ways. The page of Black Widow on the bike is a dazzling display of using 8 panels to get across information as well as intent of style. Not a single image is wasted.

"Winter Soldier" is a fun book that continues to keep us guessing. This issue swaps scenes of dizzying violent displays against brilliant comedic banter from one of Marvel's best characters. Here you get a slice of action and a push forward on the narrative that pushes you to access the next issue as soon as you can. This is four-color action as only a Marvel book could present it.

WINTER SOLDIER #9
ED BRUBAKER (w) • MICHAEL LARK (a)
Cover by STEVE EPTING
• Black Widow's past has caught up to her! Can Bucky save her? And what happens if he can't?
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99

Bucky has to work with Doctor Doom...and face gorillas with machine guns. Throw in a great creative team and there's not much you won't dig about this comic.
WINTER SOLDIER continues its heavy action in its own little corner of the Marvel Universe. The book's story and art just pours the fun all over your face.

The Good
Imagine Doctor Doom, Nick Fuy, Bucky Barnes and Black Widow all in the same room. Now imagine that scene with Ed Brubaker writing it, Butch Guice drawing it and Bettie Breitweiser doing the colors. It makes for a mighty fine comic. Just the first few pages were a blast to read and that was before the action even started.

I was a little unsure when I saw that Doctor Doom would be playing a role in this opening story but while it adds moments of humor, it also makes the story that much cooler. We don't often get to see Doom actually in action. During his time in the Future Foundation, it was a more subdued role. He sat back rather than dive into the action as he does here. Let's just say he gets a little brutal here.

If that wasn't enough, let's not forget that part of the mission is for Bucky to deal with the sleeper agents he trained back when he was brainwashed. What happens here needs to be seen. And the final pages are pretty heavy.

The Bad
As fun and great looking as this all is, I'm still not a fan of the Red Ghost, his apes or Lucia Von Bardas. This is the end of the arc. We'll have to see what Bucky has to face next in the coming issues.

There is that 'heavy' moment I mentioned above. This could have some serious consequences. Bucky made a decision and took some action that could change things in a big way.

The Verdict
It's the end of the first arc but the story's actually not quite over yet. The creative team of Brubaker, Guice and Breitweiser makes this a great and fun read while looking amazing each month. The opening scene with Doctor Doom, Nick Fury and Bucky was a joy and Brubaker delivered plenty of action for this team-up you never thought you'd see. As much as I've enjoyed this series so far, I've never been a fan of the Red Ghost and Lucia Von Bardas hasn't won me over yet either. Besides the action, there's also plenty of set up to see the consequences of the events that occur here. WINTER SOLDIER impresses me each month. It has a great disconnected feeling while still being heavily rooted in the Marvel Universe. This is the perfect atmosphere for a comic featuring Bucky as the Winter Soldier and while the world believes he's dead. It's no surprise that this title has remained at the top of my reading list each month.

a parte che non vedo l'ora che arrivi in Italia (....  più o meno quando secondo voi??), come sta andando in USA in termini di vendite? ..... c'è qualcuno che lo sta leggendo in originale?? ..... com'è ??

[Daredevil]

Qua da noi credo che arriverà per settembre. Come vendite così così, non ha fatto il botto.

[Robin]

scusate .... è già disponibile il primo albetto Usa, vero? colleziona i primi 5 numeri ? mi pare di averlo visto su amazon.com

[Murnau]

Un albetto USA colleziona una sola storia. Per avere più storie assieme devi aspettare il volume, che uscirà fra un bel pezzo.

[Robin]

si scusa, avevo letto velocemente .... si tratta di "The winter soldier, vol.1: the longest winter", colleziona i n.1-5, disponibile in pre-order ... dovrebbe uscire a settembre 2012
