A five-issue collected volume from last year, this little adventure is brief but full of fun details. Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes reunite by accident at the scene of a gruesome mass murder, and team up again to solve it, not to mention find someone Sam's looking for. Along the way Bucky struggles with his boundaries re: killing bad guys, and Sam helps him to a conclusion. (The last couple of pages are sweet as hell.) Oh, and Bucky's cat Alpine is there.

Fighting the seductive slide back into being a killer is Bucky Barnes' natural arc. So maybe it's coincidence that you can see a lot of Bucky's emotional journey from the recent Disney+ show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in this comic, right down to the pivotal gun. But I wouldn't be surprised if the showrunners had pulled from this to write Bucky's arc in the show. This comic after all looks like a reaction to Bucky's and Sam's popularity as a double act in the MCU. And I for one would like to thank our corporate overlords at Marvel for giving us the good Sam'n'Bucky content we crave.
