I had this one comic to do from last week, but . . when I got my Geoff Johns menagerie . . I had to skip over it and go straight to the 'meat & potatoes'. Sorry! But now I'll knock this one out before I move on to the rest of this weeks books. To tell you the truth, after reading Captain America #600, and Rebirth . . this one was a little boring. I mean the story was ok, but it was obvious that it was just a fill-in issue. It's one of those flash-back issues, where Bucky is telling Fury about one of the towns where they were holed up in Europe during the war. They had, a few weeks before, finally driven the rest of the Nazi's out of town. Some of the residents were actually in the process of trying to move back in and claim what was left of their possessions and homes. But then a new crisis arose . . vampires. They tried to keep it on the DL, they didn't want the troops or the residents to start lashing out in fear. It turns out that it's connected to Baron Blood, but it's not his doing directly. It seems one of the little girls in town had died a few years earlier, but for some reason when she showed up again no one paid her much attention. There was also a Nazi undead, Helmutt Von Schuler, that had visited the town a while back. Anyways, this girl has been attacking the soldiers and she transforms the actress that is in town visiting with the USO. Anyways, long story short, Cap and Bucky take care of all the infected and gradually work their way back to the source. This issue had 40 pages of art . . for some reason. Which was ok, but . . the story just seemed to be really, really long. I would've thought that something like this would've been better as a one-shot or annual or something. But . . whatever. Ed Brubaker writes it with Gene Colan doing the art. It really was an ok issue. But, after the last few books that I've read . . it did seem rather boring.

Captain America #601 - Marvel
