Books like Captain America: Winter Soldier, Volume 2

First off, before I say anything about the plot of this, I just wanted to take a brief moment to say how awesome I think the Winter Solider actually looks. Whether it’s on screen or in this comic, Bucky looks sooooooooo damn cool. Who agrees with me? I wish I had a metal arm.Also I just have to say that the new Captain America Civil War movie was great. For all the boring political differences between Rogers and Stark, the catalyst of the war was Bucky. I just couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. As trite as it sounds, he is such a dark and brooding character. You can see the man has a lot playing on his mind. He doesn’t know who he is, and he clearly experiences brief glimpses of a past he doesn’t even remember having a part in. All in all, he is a deeply troubled man. And when that’s paired with adeptness at killing, it results in a rather dangerous character. And that’s the problem. He’s done some terrible things, things that have directly harmed certain members of the avengers. So when that got out, the fists started flying. You can’t blame the sword for the deed though; its’ the man who wields it that’s guilty. But, that’s beside the point. I loved the reprisal in here. It was risky to bring back such an important character of Captain America’s past, though it was handled very smoothly. The plot was written very well; it isn’t too outlandish and is strangely plausible. It was all rather good.The reason I rated this down was because of the dull artwork. What!? You just said Bucky looked cool! I did. And he does. But, for a large part of the comic it was just random men shooting at each other. It all looked the same with the same dull brown tones. Parts of it felt too realistic. I wanted to see Bucky and Captain America locked into a struggle, but instead I got a very short fight scene. It was a shame because there was so much build up, only to end with a rather quick fight. For the central confrontation of this series, it was massively underwhelming.
