Bucky Gets Ready for Action in WINTER SOLDIER #1

Used to being in Captain America's shadow, now he's hiding in the shadows of the Marvel Universe to deal with a bigger threat.

Bucky's coming back. If you read FEAR ITSELF #7.1, you know the story. Thanks to Ed Brubaker, Bucky was brought back from the dead in a great way and made into a completely cool character. It appeared that return would be short lived when he died during Fear Itself. Bucky's death there was hogwash and we saw what the really happened afterwards. And it gave Bucky a great way to carry on with the mission that Brubaker started in CAPTAIN AMERICA #619 and Marvel has unveiled a first look at the issue.

With Brubaker, Guice and Breitweiser on this, it's safe to say there's a lot to be excited about.
