Captain America Ed Brubaker series help

[Nivek]

Hey so i got Winter-soldier vol 1 and vol 2, but im confused at why vol 2 is missing an issue, and where do i go from here?

Can someone link me or tell me the correct book order (softcover trades) to get up to current issues? I think red menace comes next, but i don't understand why the trades leave issues out. anyways, an order to the books would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I've been reading Brubaker's Cap in trades as well - and did wonder the same thing myself. Finished The Death of Captain America 2 not long ago however and can't say the missing issues spoiled anything. I assume what was left out had no bearing on the actual ongoing plot.

My trades are:

Winter Soldier 1+2
Red Menace 1+2
The Death of Captain America 1+2

I think The Death of Captain America 3 came out in Hardcover not long since and when it comes out in Paperback I'll be snapping that up as well because the whole thing has been a brilliant read.

That's the "House of M" tie-in issue, #10. It's 100% skippable. The story from #9 continues directly into #11.

What he said.

If you get the Omnibus (1-25 plus the Anniversary Issue and Winter Soldier 1 shot) it includes #10 but at the end of the book.

It's a pretty good issue though. Easily the best thing to come out of House Of Meh. Well worth picking out of a backissue bin.

It's basically What If... Captain America Never Got Frozen In Ice. Brubaker takes some rather unconventional choices with it.

I just picked up Death of Captain America Vol 1-2 and am enjoying them. I will wait to get Vol 3 when it comes out in tradepaperback.

Glad you're enjoying it. I picked up Cap 25 amidst all the hooplah and thought it was great. I picked up 33 during my LCS Christmas sale and decided to get 34 to see the new Cap. Figured might as well fill in the pieces between 25-34 and fell in love. Picked up the Omnibus not long after and never looked back. :)

I did similar. Read the Civil War arc, but planned to drop it after. Then I heard #25 would be big, so I grabbed that. After that, I was curious where they'd go with Cap dead, so I continued getting it. Only took a few issues to fall in love and, like you, buy the Omnibus. It has been my favorite book month-in and month-out since #25.

This was the first issue of the series I bought, back before I realized how awesome this series was and is (been collecting as trades) - solely because of Lee Weeks' art.
