James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes / Winter Soldier Appreciation

[Godlike13]

Bucky’s Thunderbolts was weird from the start. It was trying to go for a 90s throwback, but Bucky was never around in the 90’s. It was just weird, and not good weird, but hard to look at weird.

This is basically my favorite type of story, but I can't help but think how badly it went when Bucky tried to do something like that with the Thunderbolts.

Also Bucky was never in the Secret Avengers! @whoever wrote this article

That sounds amazing, can't wait.

And yeah, he wasn't in Secret Avengers and also didn't work for Hydra lol

This has the potential to be a good story, but right now there's something about how he's talking about the book that just seems really off. Do we know who the book's editor is? Because if it's the same editor from Thunderbolts, that could be it. She's been pushing hard to turn 616 Bucky into a version of MCU Bucky, and that may be where that "Hydra operative" nonsense is coming from.

I'm curious if thats a paraphrase or just a mistake by whoever wrote the article for cbr. Because I dont recal Higgins ever saying anything about Hydra, has he?

[Whizbang]

Not in any of the previous articles about the series that I have seen. I have a friend who was at the panel, so I'm planning on asking her if he mentioned Hydra at all.

So... they’re having Bucky go public so he can not wear the domino mask like the MCU version. Disappointing. He was unique in that he could only work in the shadows because people couldn’t know he’s alive. But Marvel of now is just so intent on ditching secret identities and MCU synergy above all else.

There's no way he could keep up that secret indefinitely, domino mask or no domino mask. The only way to do that would be to get a brand-new superhero identity.

With you on the mask ... impractical yes, but iconic, totally. The “mouth guard” from the MCU, WTF? Still loved the movies don’t get me wrong.

Read “Winter Kills”. Lee Weeks drew his ass off and that old iconic mask, yup nothing better.

Zdarsky said Guice is drawing the flash back scenes.

You know I’m going to look at those pages and want the Black Widow in them too. I suspect you as well.
