COMICS: New Details And Artwork On The Return Of Bucky In Winter Soldier Ongoing!

LOVELY!

I'm tired of Bucky...

BUCKY FYI



As a young boy, James Buchanan Barnes lost his father (a soldier during WWII), and was adopted by Camp Lehigh as their mascot, and given the nickname "Bucky". It was here that he learned the identity of Captain America. He underwent rigorous training and was assigned to be Cap's sidekick, accompanying him on many adventures, and the two often worked with the original Invaders. However, on a final mission against Baron Zemo, Bucky and Cap hopped on an experimental drone plane in an attempt to disarm a bomb. The bomb detonated, dropping Cap in the North Atlantic, where he would later be found and thawed out by the Avengers. American forces never found Bucky's body, and he was presumed dead. Unbeknownst to the Americans, he was found and revived by Russian General Vasily Karpov.
When Bucky awoke, he had no memory of his identity, which gave Karpov an opportunity to reprogram Bucky as a Soviet assassin called the Winter Soldier. He was sent all across the globe, committing political assassinations with huge effects on the Cold War. However, his memory implantation caused mental instability, and he was kept in stasis between missions to prevent rebellionRecently, the Winter Soldier killed the Red Skull, and stole his Cosmic Cube for Karpov's successor, former General Aleksander Lukin. In order to mess with Cap's mind, Lukin also commanded the Winter Soldier to kill Jack Monroe and launch a major terrorist attack on the city of Philadelphia, fueling the Cosmic Cube's power in the process. However, when the Winter Soldier kidnapped S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter, she told Captain America upon her rescue that she believed her captor to be Bucky. Later, Nick Fury confirmed to Cap that the Winter Soldier was indeed his former partner.

When Lukin ordered the Winter Soldier to bury the Cosmic Cube in an underground bunker, Cap, with help from the Falcon and Iron Man, tracked him down and defeated him. After the battle, Cap used the Cosmic Cube to restore Bucky's memories, but he then destroyed the Cube and disappeared. All but Captain America believed him to be dead.

It was recently revealed that the Winter Soldier was involved in helping Wolverine escape from Weapon X, and was responsible for the loss of his wife and baby.

When the Superhuman Registration Act was passed, S.H.I.E.L.D's Nick Fury recruited Bucky for covert operations, so as to protect Captain America from government forces. In the aftermath of the seeming death of Steve Rogers, Barnes became the new Captain America. Rogers survived, but upon his return, he gave Barnes his blessings to continue as Captain America on the Avengers while he accepted a federal role as an administrator managing super-heroes.

They shouldnt have killed him in the first place i think. Great character, wish he was still cap instead.

shortest.death.ever

after reading Fear Itself 7.1 yesterday i am even more jazzed about this!!! cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

*revived* & *read*

I can dig it!

@TheBlackWidow: I knew a woman who died once, then came back to life only to die several years later. I'd say that it was a shorter death. ;)

dumb, i am sick of death meaning nothing , why even bother killing people off. That is the one thing i like most about Ultimate marvel. Dead is dead, no matter what. The only person in ultimate to come back from the dead was Thor. Green goblin was told to be dead but it obvious that shield actually had him still. Death should mean something and it is just such a tired thing to try and get a money pop on the return of the hero. The worst part is it works every time and the average comic consumer still goes and buys that new comic with the resurrection, so i dont completely blame the comic book companies for doing it.

Looks really good!
And @Dedpool, definitely agree with you on the costume idea!

I see the demise of comics, not because sales slump (because God knows there are enough fanboys out there who willingly let DC and Marvel shovel shit into their mouths with these events and just keep on buying and lapping it all up like so much corn nibblette and peanut infused custard), but it is dying because there is no originality. The writing is fading, mainly because we are going through a writers version of what happened in the 90's with artist; there are a handfull of "superstars" that keep getting thrown onto too many books and each one is kind of one trick pony. Morrison is strange, Bendis is pop culture and wordy, Millar is just a self-promoting egotistical prick; Loeb is quickly falling into hackdom.

All they and the editorial staff at the big two want to do is event after event, after halfassed reboot and event. Christ, it’s a sad state. Marvel and DC need to just lay off 80% of their writing and editorial staffs and bring in new blood that understand story telling. A comic is a rare thing; it is a serial and a story need not be rushed. As a kid I remember plot lines taking years to unfold verses now when the event dictates it all needs to be wrapped up in six months, but it will run through twenty titles so the fans have to buy a hundred comics by the end of it. It’s all marketing, all flash and no bang. Anyone that complains but still goes out every month and buys a shity title is just drinking the Kool-Aid they're selling. Stop buying. Scare the piss out of the company and then you'll see change.
