Has anyone read it?

I was just wondering if I was the only fangirl to arrive early to my local comic book store to pick up the latest Captain America (and by Captain America I mean Reborn).

I'm up for some discussion! What did everyone else think? :)

Ugh. I really kind of dislike that, the way Sharon is defined by their relationship. Brubaker has really screwed Sharon over but good. First he had her be a pregnant weepy victim for a year, and now she's only important for fetching Steve back.

The thing I liked about Steve/Sharon was that they were (mostly) written as two mature adults with similar interests and passions, who had a complicated and not particularly smooth relationship. I *liked* that it wasn't One True Love Eternal Bond; it felt real.

Yeah, that pregnant victim thing was squicky as all hell. You really nailed the awesomeness of the Steve/Sharon love earlier on. One of my favorite scans of her sums it up too:

What I wouldn't give for Independent!Adult!Sharon to return...

That's a great page! And that's absolutely it -- Sharon's a pro, just as much as Cap is. They both have deeply felt emotions, but their duty and reason come first.
