Description
Who is the mysterious old man who lies on his deathbed in a hospital in 1939, and how does his passing mark the beginning of the first heroic age of the Marvel Universe - and signal the rise of the superhumans? It's a world on the brink of war, and the race is on to create the world's first super-soldier! Witness the first days of the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner and many more - how they shaped the world to come, and how the future they would create in turn shaped them!.Tags

A Golden Age tem aqui uma justa revisitação, em jeito de homenagem, eivada de magia-noir (marca d'água brubakeriana) e encantamento bélico cuja intensidade é digna de emparelhar com as mais belas sequências kubertianas de Enemy Ace.
Os seus pontos mais altos serão a opção feita para a narração, a edificação dos alicerces do imaginário dos Super-Heróis da Golden Age (que em «The Winter Soldier» se notam como desejadas colmatações de lacunas geeks) e o encerramento da própria história, enredada em si mesma.
Decerto que nem tudo serão perfeições, mas a arte de Epting (quiçá ainda melhor aqui que em «The Winter Soldier») está à altura do génio de Brubaker, e juntos bafejam o leitor com uma espécie de cápsula show more do tempo convertida em «Origem».
Uma maravilha.

The Marvels mini-series remains on of my favorites. This series was in the same vein but didn't captivate ne quite as much. Still pretty solid though.
What? A Brubaker/Epting book that's excellent? I'm shocked.

Ed Brubaker tell us the start of the "Marvels" age using the Angel, a golden age hero from the Marvel's Timely era, as focus point/ witness.
Due to the Marvels mini-series, this moment in history is well known nowadays, but Brubaker wirtes it in a way that leave space for continuation.
Steve Epting's art is very good and classic here, ressambling more the Modesty Blase strips style than the show more general comics that are being put on the racks. show less
