As usual you get 5 stars for the WinterWidow content. I love reading about support in comics.

I did not have high hopes for this collection based on the art alone. I was very suprised at how good this was. Ed Brubaker's story was excellent as usual and the art work by Christopher Samnee worked very well. It combined to captured a golden age feel.

Don't know how many more times I can say this but I love Bucky. I loved him in the movies while I've read some golden age Cap and didn't like him in those. While of course this Bucky is still different from the movie Bucky I loved first, I can only hope he gets this much development as a character in the movies.

Such great, great stuff. Samnee's art is amazing, and the portrait of Bucky as a character is excellent.

MY PAL, MY BUDDY, MY BUCKY.

If you know me well, then you know I’m a wee bit obsessed with Bucky Barnes. I’ve watched all of the Captain America films (Civil War, three times), I have a Bucky Barnes funko pop, and a Bucky Barnes Tsum Tsum who I cuddle with every night. (But shush, that’s a secret.)

If you are also obsessed with Bucky Barnes or interested in becoming obsessed with Bucky Barnes, then I recommend you pick up this graphic novel. It has a classic vibe to it, yet it shares some individuality compared to other graphic novels by putting someone like James (aka Bucky) in the spotlight. And I don’t want to give things away, but Brubaker may have brought a little bit of #WinterWidow into this. JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE.

A bit of a reframing of the origin of Bucky Barnes, but not a reprint. Actually it was pretty good. Good writing, good enough art. And done as a set of shorter pieces it gave a much better feel for Bucky as a person. Though it does nothing to explain why Captain America might have needed a young sidekick. Better use of the early Invaders superhero characters than normal, especially the interactions between Bucky and Namor and the adventure with Bucky and Toro. And the bit with Black Widow was good, fun to see a younger Black Widow. All in all a surprisingly good book.
