Captain America #40

seems like the last issue came out 2 weeks ago looking forward to this one

I love the cover. Can't wait for this issue.

This is gonna be a big fight, I can sense it in my Brubaker sense....right below the heart actually.

There's only a few issues left of this 'Death of Cap' storyline right? I mean, the Red Skull is gonna run out of ideas eventuall.

I wish I'd started reading this a lot sooner! Where the hell is the next TP??

Great cover.  I wonder who this imposter Cap is?

@thebouv ... ????? Have you been reading this title?

I just finished the trades that encompass caps death, and I think they left off at #36. I really wish I had the issues in between 36 and this one, but I think i can fill in the blanks thanks to the interwebs.

The story is moving so slow right now - I am really on the fence with this book right now.  It has so much potential but is moving as a snail's pace (IMO)

Feel free to sling the arrow now.

I hope your right! A sweet big fight between these two would put this book over the top for sure. Bucky as Cap is suprisingly awesome!

I picked up JSA last week and now I'm gonna get this because it's another book I hear nothing but good things about.

When I saw the cover of last issue, I thought it would be a tie-in with Avengers/Invaders. But no, we've got fake Steve and Bucky together here. This should be a good fight. The last time there was an epic fight like this on the cover, the inside was just as awesome.

So wait, in the Marvel Universe, there are currently 3 Captain Americas running around: Fake Steve, Bucky Barnes, and Steve Rogers displaced in time. It would be sick to see all three together.

I think the whole avengers/invaders thing presumably happens in a pretty short time-frame, more or less divorced from main continuity, so it's a stretch to say they're all running around at the same time.  Maybe?  (I'm not actually reading avengers/invaders)

I think Ed Brubaker has saidt that the older Cap vs. Cap cover is the first Captain America he read as a kid, inspired his love of comics, etc.  So I'm expecting to see him really bring it to this story.   

Oh  my, how many issues does Epting have left?

YES YES YES I CAN NOT WAIT!!

Another great issue. I got to the last page and uttered a "NOOOOOO!" Not so much because of what the last panel showed but because it WAS the last panel. This issue flew by, not only because it was made up of a lot of fight scenes but because there was so much intensity. I too was worried that this series might be getting a little close to the Daredevil malaise of 8-2 months ago, but I feel this issue kicked things into fifth gear again.

@flapjaxx I felt the same way. Does anyone know if Brubaker is going to stick around after he wraps up this red skull thing? I really hope he does. I can't imagine anyone else writing this.

There's something about Skull, Faustus, and Zola snapping at each other that just kills me. It's like they are teenage boys playing D&D or something "..I was trying to compliment him..." great issue.

As a new guy I was fairly lost...but I enjoyed this because to me it was a real page turner.  I found myself eagerly anticipating the next page because it felt like something bad was going to happen.

Who was the girl that was stabbed at the end?

@Kory - Sharon Carter, Cap's pregnant girlfriend.

I can't say it enough. The omnibus which collects 1-25 is so worth it here. For those of you just getting on this wagon, give it a shot.

@jobob247:  Actually, no I haven't been reading it.  Just loved the cover and read the description about "true identity".

See, now I have to pick it up.

I thought that this was a really depressing issue.

Good issue. I jumped on this title at ish 25 but the omnibus is on its way.
