Winter Soldier: Winter Kills

    (Marvel, 2007)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

Captain America’s original sidekick, Bucky, was tragically killed six decades ago. But a shocking 2005 story revealed that Bucky had not only survived, but secretly been kept alive in stasis! Brainwashed and reprogrammed as a Soviet assassin code-named Winter Soldier, he was retroactively inserted into Marvel continuity. Cap, of course, eventually restored his friend’s memories—unfortunately, the knowledge of his activities is a heavy burden to bear.

Reborn into a world he barely recognizes, it’s Bucky’s first Christmas since he regained his memories—most of his friends are dead, and the rest are fighting a Civil War he can’t comprehend. Such a night makes a man introspective…

Flashbacks to W.W.II and an encounter with the Young Avengers provide a look inside the mind of a troubled hero, hinting at his new role in the Marvel Universe. Other cameo appearances include Namor, and Nick Fury.
