Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'd like to second this comic, and point to one James Barnes. I mean, the guy started off in the Golden Age as a typical teenage sidekick (Bucky to Captain America, if anyone was wondering). Then Brubaker got on board writing him after he was supposedly killed off way back when, and he's been one of the most deep, moving characters I've ever read. He's complex, he has issues to deal with in the best way he knows how, and sometimes he still screws up in MAJOR ways. I mean, I'm not saying his storyline always makes -sense-, exactly, but for the most part, his growth as a character has been linear and he's matured considerably from his days as Bucky. He's been through a lot, and that's reflected well in the character, I think.

I think in his case, though, it helps some that Bucky's not really been a "major" character in the MarvelU until recently, so while other writers have taken him on in recent years, his story has really been Brubaker's, who even did a fantastic job of reworking his Golden Age canon into a more believable backstory without completely retconning it.

Er, long comment is long. But yes, I agree--some characters DO mature and develop naturally, even despite comics' serial nature. It just takes the right character and the right writers.

Oh my, yes! The owner of my LCS just handed me some Captain America & Bucky last week, and I'm doing my best to collect back-issues and all now because Brubaker does a fantastic job.

And you're exactly write--it's much easier for characters who aren't major players to grow honestly and have subtle nuances. Batman can never really learn any lesson for good. Oh, maybe this week he'll finally learn that he needs to be able to rely on others and also, he can totally trust his back-up, and maybe just once in a while he should actually make his face muscles smile or something...but he'll have to learn the True Meaning of Christmas (or whichever lesson it is) all over again next year. (Man, ever seen any Christmas-related Batman thing? I think there's a contest to make each one even more depressing.)

Which isn't to say that I don't still enjoy Batman. Just that he doesn't have the opportunities lesser-known characters do. (One reason JLI worked so well was they were dealing with a bunch of B-listers and the writers could go nuts.)

"and maybe just once in a while he should actually make his
face muscles smile or something..."

This made me laugh more than it should have. But yes, this!

Oh man, isn't Captain America & Bucky amazing? If you're looking for back-issues, I'm pretty sure that most of the last few arcs of Captain America are out in trade paperback now, or are at least in hardback and should be in paperback soon. (I think "The Trial of Captain America" just came out, and there's one more arc after that to get you up to date, I believe.) All of "The Death of Captain America" and "Road to Reborn" are pretty important if you wanna know more about Bucky, as is "Winter Soldier: Winter Kills vols. 1 & 2" (which are both available in the same paperback). That's mostly recent stuff, as in the last several years, but Brubaker's just such a good writer that I can't help but rec all of it. "Winter Kills" is my favourite, though. Oh, and if you want something interesting and fun to read, check out "Avengers/Invaders"; you'll get to see how James-as-Bucky compares to James-as-Cap, and it really highlights how much he's changed and grown over the years.

Heh, you got me started. Bucky is my favourite character; I can't help it. ^^;;; *shuts up and slinks away*
