Da quello che ho letto in giro per il forum..

Penso che appena edita in Italia aggiungerò questa nuova collana alla mia collezione cartacea

Capitan America non è mai stato il mio preferito in assoluto, ma come personaggio ha sempre parecchio attirato l'attenzione  ^_^
...e mentre io mi nutro di fastidio, lui si mangia la mia vita

Can I call Ed Brubaker the Guy Ritchie of comics? Just like the director of "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," everything in Brubaker's wheelhouse comes off gritty and pulpy. Some readers might say Brubaker is a one-trick pony, but I say he is a specialist and he gets the job done. In the case of James "Bucky" Barnes — aka Winter Soldier — that job is to hunt down his brainwashed partner and lover, The Black Widow.

The important thing to remember while reading Winter Soldier is that while it is a superhero story, it does not necessarily have to read like one. To be honest, this comic does not even feel like one. As he tries to outmatch Leo Novokov, a former elite Soviet soldier he trained years ago, Bucky has to fight former Soviet agents and his own past. His missions are dangerous, mysterious and often very personal. Bucky faces mercenaries and agents of unknown forces. Winter Soldier is not set in the same world where superheroes save kittens and villains get long monologues revealing their plans. Bucky's world is one of non-stop action and .50-cal wielding gorillas; a place where the past comes back when you least expect it.

Winter Soldier #10 starts off in the same vein as a CSI episode. We are taken to the scene of the crime or rather, the aftermath. Maria Hill's narration and the zig-zagging art masterfully describe the chaos as we are taken through the events of the brainwashed Black Widow's escape. As the action increases, the panel borders blur and the scenes become more abstract. You can tell that this was a conscious decision since the background is more detailed during more passive scenes.

Butch Guice's art is heavy on the use of shadows, which fits the themes of espionage and deceit. A great example is the sometimes misleading police chalk outlines used to reveal what happened during Black Widow's escape. Not only was this a great plot device, but it also looked cool.

This brings me to the colors. Bettie Breitweiser often used subtle shading to express emotion. A close up on Maria Hill comes to mind. The light reds help display her as a powerful and very pissed-off lady. The dynamics between Guice and Breitweiser's work produce a mesmerizing effect where the characters' emotions and memories clash. In other words, the art shows you not just what they're going through, but also what they feel. This is especially true when Maria Hill tells the specifics of Black Widow's escape, where the background is not as important as the action.

While artistically and thematically Winter Soldier is very old school overall (especially due to its use of a Soviet color palette), Bucky himself has a lot of depth as a character. His relationship with Black Widow shows his human side; that he's more than just a trained assassin. This issue flashes back to a tender moment between Bucky and Romanov. We are shown why he is conflicted as opposed to just being told in a caption. It is a moment that is not overdone or shoved down our throats.

While the cameos were not particularly memorable, they did not hinder the flow of the story. I am excited to see what Brubaker will do with Captain America and Wolverine in the next few issues. It is not likely that he will do anything major with those characters but given his new focus solely on creator-owned work, it might be the last time in a while that we see him in the driver's seat with Marvel characters.

At any rate, this issue is a great example of having a longer-term strategy with a story. As opposed to having a simple episode-driven run where we return to status quo at the end, Winter Soldier #10 shows us how far our current protagonist will go to hurt Bucky. It is an issue that makes you care more about the protagonist and why we should despise Leo Novokov. Brubaker gives us a story where events are interwoven. Throughout Winter Soldier, Bucky is coming to terms with his past. Meanwhile, different forces seek to use forgotten Soviet resources for their plans. This leads to Bucky having confrontations that are more meaningful.

Winter Soldier #10 specifically is foreshadowing an exciting event that will probably end around the same time as Brubaker's exit. I honestly hope the next writer can continue Brubaker's entertaining run filled with exciting turns of events and engaging characters. Can I call Guy Ritchie the Ed Brubaker of movies? Does he have to marry Madonna first? Either way, the beginning of this new arc is a good place to get started on this solid series.

7/10

la mia paura è che facciano come per Iron Man 2.0: un volume monografico e poi gli altri sul mensile

spero vivamente di no, visti i prezzi dei TP originali, prenderei molto volentieri la serie su volumetti da edicola, ma più economica

We are called Cybermen. We were exactly like you once, but our cybernetic scientists realised that our race was getting weak. Our lifespan was getting shorter, so our scientists and doctors devised spare parts for our bodies until we could be almost completely replaced. Our brains are just like yours, except that certain weaknesses have been removed. Weaknesses like... emotions, pain. You will become like us. You will be upgraded.
