It means that towards the end of the book we switch from the nuanced cloak and dagger material that’s been the tone throughout these collections into more straightforward superhero material. The other odd aspect of the selection is that Brubaker’s two runs on Captain America, although sequential, offer a very different stylistic tone. While still available as the paperback collections Captain America by Ed Brubaker vols three and four, they’re now shunted into the following Return of the Winter Soldier Omnibus. It includes a wealth of bonus material and the four issues of a standalone miniseries, yet omits the closing ten issues of Brubaker’s Captain America work. This penultimate omnibus collection of Ed Brubaker’s first run on Captain America is rather an odd package.
