The affection and respect they have for each other is quite nice in the occasional below average stories.
They are natural, work great together and its refreshing to see Bucky letting Natalia be. He enters into a stable relationship with Natalia and their dynamics isn't something that's seen often in comics. It isn't so much as being a hero that makes him want the job but to absolve himself of the guilt he committed while being brain washed. They are what Bucky decides to implement during his stint as Captain America. When he exercises patience while dealing with bullying jailers, he calls upon his "inner Steve" to be patient.īrubaker isn't subtle with Steve's moral absolutes. The torture, the violence and the neglect that goes into these places has Bucky in a submissive state. Taken into police custody, the investigation is thinly veiled reference to the way the suspects get treated in prisons that have very less federal intervention. When he gets exposed as an ex-assassin, media shitstorm hits a different level. Of course the government and country doesn't know that it is Bucky Barnes who was also an assassin for the KGB.
Along with Natalia Romanova, he does his duty the way Steve Rogers would have done, refining his own identity as Bucky Barnes and reclaiming the respect he deserves. Violence comes easily to him, slipping into the soldier mode but exercising restraint during hostility is the first thing he re-learns after wearing the cowl. Bucky struggles with guilt and the weight of choices he has to make as Captain America. This volume starts with the established notion that Bucky Barnes is alive and is now has picked up the shield to become Captain America after Steve Rogers dies during Civil War. He comes back stateside to assassinate the captain but ends up regaining all his memories - both the one before he became Winter Soldier and the ones after. Bucky loses agency on his body and becomes a weapon to the highest bidder. He has lost his memory and Russians get their own brand of super soldier an assassin who attains legendary ghost status. Brubaker uses the same trope used on Captain America to revive Bucky. Captain America sees that and declares his partner dead in action. I am glad he decided to give Marvel Universe its Winter Soldier.īucky Barnes is lost to the world after the plane he was on explodes. In the past Brubaker has admitted to writing Winter Soldier was an ode to his own childhood. Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America is a love letter to Bucky Barnes.
