As we all know he's been back, for quite a while now, as we've seen how he's progressed (rather than just condemning the move from the start), what do the posters of KMC think about him being brought back?
And how he's being treated?
I personally really like it, he's probably my joint favourite character at the moment (the other being Iron Fist, coincidentally also penned by Ed Brubaker).
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Also, did you see the way he took down Black Widow in Captain America 27? Pretty darn impressive IMO

Most attempts of bringing back Bucky sucked ass , save this ( a little comic-booky , but what could be expected ? ) and another one (some kind of huge crossover involving Lady Death , Tony screwing up on a bomb which wiped out a galaxy and Dr Druid getting pwned by Dracula) .
Winter Soldier is a bitter, angry ******* whos not too angsty and just enough bad-ass to enough to get a decent 8/10 on anything he touches
Alot of people were complaining about how Bucky was one of those "can't ever bring back" characters, how it shits over his "death" etc. but I think they have really pulled it off. They've taken a dead character and replaced him with a totally enthralling one, which I never have any complaints about.
He's definetly extremely bad-ass though, he took down Cross-Bones with extreme ease and now beat Black Widow, he also held his own against Cap, thats pretty impressive.
I do hope he sticks around, because Brubaker really did work wonders with his revival (whereas it could have been like Jason Todd's and been utter shite).
I hope he does get Tony, I hope he gets Tony bang to rights and could kill him and then just decides not to. To let him live in shame of knowing that he'd basically robbed the world of the greatest man to ever walk on its soil.
It's pretty cool that he's basically got an ongoing (well half of one) and I'm far more interested about the Winter Soldier story than the Sharon Carter one to be honest.
Totally agree. Bucky rocks at the moment. The only way to make it better is to pick up the speed with the whole correspondence with Nick Fury. I love that (With the exception of killing Stark) Bucky is following Fury's orders (Unless Fury's a Skrull or something).
Overall Captain America is by far the best comic out there at the moment
Pfft.. I don't despise Jason Todd, his revival was just unnecessary (imo) and badly done, whereas Bucky's was very well done. In my eyes, Bucky is what Jason Todd wishes he was.
It wouldn't be fair for them to fight anyways, 'cause Bucky would obviously own him, it wouldn't be fair
Yeah, I'm glad we agree far better done. And very necessary I reckon, not at the time, but if you look at what they've done with him so far I think they had plenty reason to bring him back (seeing as Brubaker always planned for Captain America to die even at the start of his run).
Please, Bucky would destroy Jason.. Whilst Jason was out galavanting around Gotham City in tight shorts, Bucky was busy killing Nazi soldiers over on the front.
Anbody that's fought in WW2>>>Everybody Else That Didn't.
Not far better done,he had to alter Buckies history and personality to pul it offf,and while he did that well,it ultimately cheapened the return for me.Also Jason is now one of he Big Three in countdown,and is the one who's busted the monitors,so he is also very necessary.
Countdown = Crap (it really is, I'm still buying it but it's very inferior compared to 52).
Alter Bucky's personality? No, that's called character development people change. Alter Bucky's history? No, he didn't at all.. Bucky was only ever presumed dead, there wasn't say a lifeless body laying in Batman's arms.
How was Bucky brought back? Turns out he fell off the planes and was used as an agent by the Soviets, believable IMO.
How was Jason brough back? SBP retcon punch!
Captain Nazi can't be killed anyways, as he's a living symbol of the Nazi party, as long as there are stil Nazis he'll always be around (that's what I percieved anyways).
Doesn't mean it's not important,as you and i once discussed,Civil war was a hunk of crap but the aftershock universe is brilliant.
Yes they did.He was originally just a young enthusiastic sidekick but was retconned into being a Nazi killing machine despite no previous indication.he was retconned as well but in a different way to Todd.
I fail to see how keeping someone frozen using advanced cryogenics in the 1940's and equipping them with a robotic replacement is anymore believable then History being altered by a superpowered person hammering away in a nexus of realities,specially whjen both worlds are populated by gods.
Either way,electrocuting everything Hitler worked for>thyen anything Bucky can ever do.
