Complicating matters is the return of the now-disfigured Sin who claims Bucky was a non-brainwashed accomplice. Bucky is in big trouble after it's leaked to the media that he was the Winter Soldier, and he's forced to go on trial for his crimes. More than making up for this is the continuing narrative surrounding Bucky Barnes, who has easily eclipsed the then-superfluous Steve as the best character in the comic at this point. For better or worse, the answer has always been "yes." We don't need to see this yet again, and it's a tired way of making Steve appear vulnerable. Several writers have been eager to pose the question as to if Cap is the same person without the super soldier serum. Let me start with what I dislike the most: yet another ongoing plot device where Steve loses his powers. This omnibus covers the time period after Steve Rogers' resurrection to the first two volumes of his permanent return to the Captain America mantle. So comes "The Trial of Captain America," which covers the weakest stretch of Ed Brubaker's time as writer. They may not necessarily be bad, but for every peak there must be a valley. Nearly every great comic book creative run has its low points.
