The now-legendary story of Bucky Barnes' return, and his career as the Winter Soldier! For years, Captain America mourned the loss of his wartime partner, Bucky. But when a lethal killer with a familiar face crosses Cap's path, he discovers the truth - his best friend has, for decades, been brainwashed into serving Russia as an assassin called the Winter Soldier! When these two former allies clash, can Steve somehow get through to him and help Bucky overcome his programming? And if so, can the Winter Soldier find a new place in the world after all that he has done? Perhaps his second chance can be an opportunity to help others find salvation! Plus: The Winter Soldier clashes with S.H.I.E.L.D. in a high-octane flashback tale from the Cold War's peak! Collecting: Captain America (2004) 6, 8-9, 11-14; Winter Soldier: The Bitter March (2014) 1-5; Winter Soldier (2018) 1-5
