I have been suspecting that Bucky was going to die during Fear Itself based off of what I've been reading in Captain America and Fear Itself. The above description for Captain America #1 almost seems to validate my suspicions. I have a feeling Sin is going to kill Captain America (Bucky) forcing Steve Rogers to take up the mantle once again.

Just in time for the Captain America movie. I love Marvel's marketing team :)

I don't think that'll happen... He just came back from the dead like 4 years ago. I'd be so pissed if they killed him off, lol

I'm angry that they are making Steve Cap again for a movie...If Bucky dies...goodbye Marvel for good.

" I'm angry that they are making Steve Cap again for a movie...If Bucky dies...goodbye Marvel for good. "

I will be livid if they kill Bucky off. Simply livid.

" @The Dark Huntress: Yeah...according to you're post that I've seen...You really did not like Steve coming back right? "

No, I didn't. At ALL. Part of that has to do with my being somewhat new to reading Captain America and a lot of it has to do with my disdain and hate of bringing dead characters back. It completely negates the cause that they died for. It's boring. It's lazy. 

I got over that (somewhat) and was pleased with what they were doing with Steve and Bucky (US Agent and Cap). Now....this is just so stupid and it's all done so that they can re-number the issues to boost sales and because of the f*cking Captain America movie and consumerism. It's so ridiculous and such an obvious marketing ploy. I'm really really disappointed.

"

Yes lol. That's who I meant.

Thats the problem with borrowing someones identity sooner or later they'll come back for it

they say a funeral for a fallen friend that doesn't mean it will be Bucky

"Yes lol. That's who I meant. "

Bucky isn't going to die because it would be pointless to kill him off now when he's so popular, plus it would be a huge slap in the face to all of the fans who have been reading Bucky as Cap since he took up the shield.

Honestly if someone close to Steve is going to die, my money's on it being Falcon who bites the dust....

His death would hit Steve pretty hard, seeing as Sam is one of his closes friends and allies so that could prumpt him to take up the shield once again. Plus his character really isn't that popular at the moment so his death could possibly boost his popularity and we know how much Marvel LOVES to kill people off just to get their name out there more.

" Is this part of Marvel's "We're gonna kill someone every 4 months" deal? "

Dear Marvel,

I know I made jokes in the past like "Kill Whitey" or "Too many peckers in the woods" but I was just joking around and I didnt mean him in particular. I was really meant someone like Doom or Sharon Carter. I didn't know that you literally would take it in consideration and pick Bucky. If I had known that these kind of jokes would get to your decision making believe me I'm serious when I say this. I really would have stopped. So from the bottom of my heart and I mean this. Please don't kill Bucky.

Sincerely yours,

FOTM 

P.S. Just to show you I am serious. i have enclosed my autograph poster of Sebastian Stan, You know the guy who plays Bucky in upcoming Captain America: First Avenger movie. He doesn't want Bucky to die neither. So take it as an olive branch and consideration my apology genuine.

 I like Bucky as Cap (a lot) but I like Brubakers stories more.  I will not miss out on some good comic book reading just because Bucky is killed and/or Steve retakes the Captain America role.  I will be emotionally engaged though. "

Why would they kill Bucky after just 5 years?

" @The Dark Huntress said:

"Yes lol. That's who I meant. "

Your avy is making me have bad thoughts.Is that Ravager? "

"Why would they kill Bucky after just 5 years? "

I don't buy this. Mostly from the fact that Dakens comic is setting up his revenge on Barnes since the first issue.

nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

If you keep supporting Marvel..this will keep happening.They think they are smarter than you..that they can put out any bullsh#t comic and you will by it and so far they've ben correct.

But that's just it, we (the readers) have been reading the comics and have watched Bucky grow more and more into the role of Captain America; I personally have almost every issue of Bucky as Captain America (from the main Cap series except for I think one issue that I never got around to tracking down.) It's not us buying the books that is screwing us over, but the fact that the people at Marvel are idiots and have decided "Oh hey, there's a movie coming out in July, let's throw everything we've done over the past few years out the window and act like it never happened!". It's not the fan's fault, it's Marvel themselves. "

I meant in general.Captain America's book IMO was amazing with Bucky as Cap.I can see why you bought it but what I mean is Marvel makes moves that we all hate and in general many of us still go out and by the comics with the stupid changes.Remember when the Heroic Age started and we finally found out who the (New) Avengers going to be.How many people had an issue with it but still read it? I'm just giving that as an example there has been plenty of times Marvel has tried to raise suspense by killing some one off or they just generally made a stupid move and people still take part in their own misery. "

Agreed, I remember how people were giving Jeph Loeb so much hate about the Red Hulk and G-Man was interviewing him and he explained it plain and simple that if we want Marvel to know that we don't like what they're doing, stop buying the books. They'll notice if sales start to decline and when it starts effecting them getting our money, they'll begin to listen to see what the fans do and don't like about what they are doing.But one thing I wonder about this issue is that the fans are divided, some love Bucky as Cap, while others like Steve wielding the shield. To me, it would be much easier and would make Marvel much more money just to please both sides and make both Steve and Bucky Captain America. Not only would the readers get what they want, but Marvel would still get their money as well and everyone is happy. Why is that so hard for Marvel to do? "

I think it's completely irresponsible to build a character up like they did Bucky and get so many people liking him and then just can him in place of Steve.It would be nice if Bucky at least got his own persona.It basically makes the retcon to bring him back pointless in that case.I just think we need to do something so that Marvel knows they are doing something wrong because if they base their success or what they think is success on sales they definitely are probably under the assumption they are doing well even with all the gimmicks,cop-outs,and pointless events.I am a fan of both Bucky and Steve but I would rather if Steve had stayed dead and let Bucky keep the mantle.All the killing characters off for the hell of it and then bringing them back is annoying to me especially in Cap's case where they tried to make it seem if he wasn't coming back.They actually went out of there way.Like for instance when Thor conjured Steve's spirit and talked to him.I thought that right there was proof he was really dead.Steve should have never come back as far as I'm concerned.

wow...

We need togo foward marvel not backsword.

But what can we do to get Marvel's attention? I'm serious, I've hated Steve since he came back; his death was perfect and done so well that bringing him back was pointless and destroyed what his death meant completely. I'd love to do something to keep Marvel from doing away with all they've done with Bucky, but what CAN we do other than not buy Steve's books? "

" @Vance Astro: No we should hire someone to off Bendis,Loeb and Quesada. "

damn i liked steves current suit it looks bad ass and actually practical...to bad he has to go back to those stupid wings.
