A pair of superheroes fighting through a gauntlet of train cars full of different types of foes is a recipe for success, and Falcon & Winter Soldier made the most of it with scenes far grittier than you'd expect them to be. Read Full Review
Vicentini does an excellent job with the art. The train sequence was well paced and plotted artistically. Even without seeing everything that happened on each car, you could fill in the blanks with a look at the single panel for each car. Read Full Review
Falcon & Winter Soldier #2 was entertainment value at its finest. When someone hypes up a train scene? It should look a little something like this! It would be a crime if you got anything less. This creative team understands the concept of going big or going home with a book featuring two action heroes. Read Full Review
I was excited about this series and glad that the 2nd issue picked up. Not that the first issue was bad but this issue brought what I was wanting from this series. The interaction between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes is excellent as they start this case. You get that bit of snarkiness from the films but there is also this un-easy bond between the two that I hope we get more into with the next issues. The art is excellent as once again Vicentini delivers some splendid action pieces in Falcon & Winter Soldier #2. Read Full Review
Landy's second character-driven installment is enjoyable but it doesn't quite kick the mystery into high gear. Read Full Review
If you're digging the irreverent action Matt Rosenberg is putting out in Hawkeye: Freefall, you might want to double-dip with Falcon & Winter Soldier, as writer Derek Landy and artist Federico Vicentini operate in that same wheelhouse, only with added emphasis on their buddy-cop dynamic.

Bucky and Sam clobber their way through a trainload of Hydra recruits to confront Baron Zemo's protege. The combat is handled well, but it's piled a little deep. The plot is nice and twisty, and the glue that holds it all together is the exquisite, sardonic, very very funny byplay between the two leads. It falls shy of greatness because the fighting starts to feel like a clock-watching exercise, but overall this was a blast to read.
'It's like talking to a department store mannequin.'
Gentle hands of Falcon and that last page...
This was a fun, funny book that's a bit rough around the edges.
I really like the chemistry between the two leads, they’re very fun. The rest of it I am largely so-so on.
