5.0

Winter Soldier arc wraps up in a fucked up but very satisfying way.

Steve gets the information that'll change his life. First questioning almost everything his mind is telling him. Facing off against Bucky again and still not believing that's his best friend. From the moments Bucky goes "Who the hell is Bucky" we know Steve isn't going to handle this well. Once Nick Fury starts to tell Steve the truth he still doubts it. When handed information about Winter Solider and his uprising, he still doubts it but he now knows it is true. This is Steve at his most vulnerable and only with the help of his friend Sam, his Ex-girlfriend, and Nick Fury, is he able to do anything about it.

Much more personal that you'd expect, Brubaker nails the emotions for the hero. His flashbacks mixed with his feelings towards facing off against his best friend once more is tough. The ending and what he does too is everything you expect from Captain America and leads to so many interesting turns. The art is great with some fantastic fight sequences, one especially badass one on the final issue. Winter Solider isn't only one of Cap's best stories, it's one of the greatest arcs in super hero medium.

A easy 5 out of 5 and can't wait to read on.
