Nah.
Basically shooting and trying to be a funny guy ( ). I see Bucky completely out of place in this group.

Bucky's done worse? He's certainly done exactly what Jessica's asking Billy to do - with the help of a certain cosmic cube in human form!

At the start of the current volume of Captain America, Gen. Ross hired both Bucky and Sharon. Did we see Bucky do anything related to that in any book?

I see Bucky as a funny guy. He was marvel's definitive teenage sidekick, charismatic and full of quips. It was beaten out of him, but imo that's stuff doesn't fully go away, that's what's buried underneath all the tragedy, so I don't view it as a confusing thing when that part of him occasionally reaches the surface. Doesn't often work around anyone he isn't personally connected to or isn't on the other end of some disgruntled sass. Definitely doesn't work so far in Strikeforce.
I thought the issue was ehhh. I think the pacing was wonky and the dialogue often left something to be desired. I agree that Marvel doesn't know what to do with Bucky, but that's hardly a unique issue for the majority of Marvel's characters. At least he's out there.
I'll have to see how this plays out in Strikeforce before picking it up. Maybe trade wait. Not sure how I feel about Bucky being a goofball. Totally opposite of how Rosenberg wrote him in ToS.
Nothing people haven't said before, but it actually pains me that MARVEL appears to have no idea what to do with Bucky.
I mean when Brubaker reintroduced him/ during his run, I instantly took a liking to him and thought he was a fantastic character. Both as WS and Cap.Since Brubaker stopped writing him, it's been one gut-punch after another. The whole Man on the Wall thing was a cool concept though IMHO, not for this character. Tales of Suspense was actually good/ enjoyable.
Honestly, think Bucky works best detached from the wider Marvel universe for the most part ie a handful of supporting characters - the usual suspects (Cap, Falcon, Widow, Fury SHIELD etc). Marvel really needs to establish (and keep) an espionage corner.
Strikeforce (and his portrayal)? No thanks...
I really liked the Man on the Wall development.. I thought Bucky was actually the perfect replacement for Nick Fury as far as that stuff goes. He has that loner, no-nonsense, get it done attitude for something like that. Tales of Suspense was my favorite book in a long while.
