The second that you buy a book called "Captain America: Reborn", or "The Life and Death of Donna Troy" you immediately want more then a dime a dozen comic book resurrection story that could be summed up in about one issue of a comic book issue. The resurrection of Captain America is something that I have mixed feelings on.
First of all it was obvious that the guy wasn't going to be dead forever (unless this is the first comic book that you have ever read) but it was one of the few times I believed that Captain America died and I was interested in seeing how things went from there.
In my honest opinion they should have held off on it. I know that they needed to bring him back for Siege but "Dark Reign" was so underwhelming that I wouldn't care if Siege never happened. "Captain America: Reborn" is a story that is basically told like a crossover event without the crossovers. The art is very nice, and I did like the writing but the story itself is still just another resurrection story. I really lost some respect for Brubaker when he did this. (Although I lost more respect for him when he had Daredevil cheat on his girlfriend just for the sake of creating more drama)Get more detail about Captain America: Reborn.
