The MCU has made me into a MASSIVE Bucky Barnes fan, so I decided to do some dabbling in the comics. It’s been a long time since I followed comics and this is my first time reading Bucky content. I picked this up on a whim without really knowing what it was, but lucky me, it’s #1-5 of a Winter Soldier comic, so an absolutely perfect place to jump in.
I loved this and hoo boi do I love Bucky in this. It focuses on all the aspects of the character that I have enjoyed in the films (angsty, dark, brooding, heart-of-gold) and, bless, is all about Bucky. There are a few fun cameos from Ironman, and Sharon Carter is a character throughout, but this is Bucky’s story and it’s fun to see him featured in a way we never got and will never get in the film adaptations.
Basically, this was good! I want more.

A promising start but it doesn’t do anything new with the angsty teen sidekick trope.

this review is more of a three and a half stars, but i’ll give the other half just because.
okay right off the bat, i enjoyed this story. the art was probably the best aspect of it, the style was so beautiful. the characters were also amazing, and the story line was pretty good too. the idea of bucky helping people who want to have a fresh start is wonderful. the ending though was pretty heartbreaking. i’m sad that R.J. ran away and didn’t give Bucky a chance to explain himself about what happened to his father. i guess i was hoping Bucky was going to become a sort of father-figure or something along those lines to R.J., it seemed like he really needed it. but not all stories have happy endings, and that’s the beauty of it
(or whatever people say about those sort of things)
overall, i enjoyed this comic, and i hope to see more stories with Bucky and R.J. teaming up again (if that’s even possible?).

I've read the individual issues a while back and enjoyed it. Will have to reread sometime later.

Everything about this is my favorite thiiiiing oh man. This hit me right in the guts in the best possible way. "Do you *like* killing?" "I'm good at it."
