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.

Steve Rogers most trusted partner and a former Captain America, Bucky Barnes, must tackle his greatest challenge yet as Winter Soldier #1 hits store shelves everywhere this February! After going toe to toe with the Nazis and being assumed dead for decades, Bucky Barnes went through hell and back as the Soviet Union rebuilt his war torn body into their own one man army known to all as the Winter Soldier. But what if he wasn’t the only one?

From the blockbuster creative team behind Captain America, Ed Brubaker and Butch Guice send Bucky back into the shadows to take down the remaining ex-Russian sleeper agents and dismantle their diabolical plot. Teamed with the Black Widow, the former Captain America will have his hands full when he finds out that he trained them all AND that Doctor Doom is involved! With the entire Marvel Universe thinking he’s dead, Bucky will have to tackle this threat head on with limited resources. Get in on all the action this February in Winter Soldier #1!

Nice, I for one thought Bucky was gone forever. I guess a few months is forever in comic books.

Glad to see Widow in the book to. Easily my most anticipated book to read/follow through this year.

I want to get in on this book so much, but I haven't followed anything really leading up to it so I hope I'm not to confused when i go read it.

Sammo21on Jan. 3, 2012 at 2:05 p.m.

That's an impress split kick Widow is doing there...

Seriously though, I am stoked for this book. I hope it delivers.
