  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.
