For many years Steve Rogers' best friend was thought dead, lost after a plane disaster in WWII, although in truth Barnes had been captured by the Russians, cryogenically frozen and brainwashed into becoming the Winter Soldier, their occasional stealth assassin during the Cold War. A joy.įollowing the catastrophic events in FEAR ITSELF, what's left of the world is mourning for Bucky Barnes who fell on the frontline. And as an espionage action-thriller co-starring Nick Fury, there are apposite explosions of Jim Steranko throughout - you really can't miss them. Rarely do I rave so vocally about the colouring in a Marvel comic but it's both brave and bold and works perfectly in what is essentially another espionage thriller by Brubaker who's going out with a bang at Marvel, on his fiercest form there since the first three years of CAPTAIN AMERICA itself. Like the weather itself - rain, sleet and snow at midnight - the colouring by Bettie Breitweiser is beautifully bleak: an erosion of Butch Guice's phenomenal form and action so frantic that it's like being tossed into the firefight yourself. No Just do me justice And make sure all the girls are cryin'."
