  Watching Captain America: The First Avenger again made me long for a possible modern sequel featuring The Winter Soldier storyline. Until then Marvel is giving us The Winter Soldier in his own series. The February debuting tile delivers the essential 4 B’s: Brubaker, Butch, Bucky and Black Widow.

  Robot 6 has the exclusive preview with more images but I wanted to share them. Ed Brubaker teams with Butch Guice on a new series starring Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff with Nick Fury as a supporting character. Russian sleeper agents awaken and the deadly duo could be facing an army of ‘Winter Soldiers.’
