There's NO way he should have died in Fear Itself... IF Bucky had to go(and I STILL say he could have made a great US Agent/Nomad-type character), it should have been in Cap, and it DEFINITELY should have been at the hands of Brubaker. <br /><br />Now I don't know how you feel about spoilers and stuff, but somebody sent me this link earlier today... http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?disp=img&pid=1318014462<br />If you do give it a look, let me know what you think of it...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-20379077119637058952011-10-07T19:18:12.090-04:002011-10-07T19:18:12.090-04:00Hey, I just found your blog and wanted to complime...Hey, I just found your blog and wanted to compliment you on the great reviews. (We agree on a lot of stuff, so obviously I think it's an awesome blog!) It's been three months, and I'm STILL angry they killed off Bucky in "Fear Itself" and not "Captain America."JWhttp://untimelycomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-90807543960080620882011-07-07T15:10:54.606-04:002011-07-07T15:10:54.606-04:00Thanks for the kind words, Cap. I think that'...Thanks for the kind words, Cap. I think that's what's bothering SO many people who read and loved Brubaker's Captain America run... Bucky's death was so... underwhelming... I mean he confronts Sin, she pulls off his arm, stabs him and bam, he lays there and dies... He at least deserved dying a BIG death where he was saving the world or something! You know, maybe he sacrifices himself in the last FI issue or something. Even the scene in this issue of FI bothered me because Bucky's on a slab, and Nick Fury's like, "Oh well, Bucky's dead... Moving on..." while everybody else(Steve Rogers, Black Widow), just seem emotionless... Like you said, if this really is the end, here's hoping Brubaker does an issue somewhere, even a one-shot where he can give us one last Bucky tale, with BW's and Steve's feelings on what happened. Maybe a look at Bucky's last will and testament or something.<br /><br />Yeah, Steve's low key return to the Captain America mantle was kind of weird too. He just kind of suits up and heads out to New York. I guess nobody wanted to act too excited since Bucky was dead and it could have seemed inappropriate, but yeah, you'd think Cap's return after however many years it's been since his return from the timestream would have garnered more of an emotional response. And again, agreed about the new Cap/Bucky series. I've always enjoyed Brubaker's WWII flashbacks, and since this may be the only place to see Bucky, that in and of it's self makes it worthwhile. As you can see, the length of your comment is no problem, because I love to talk comics too! So thanks for taking the time to comment!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-81491640854038933302011-07-07T10:12:34.102-04:002011-07-07T10:12:34.102-04:00Hey man, I came across this blog a while ago and r...Hey man, I came across this blog a while ago and rarely read your new reviews because i'm caught up reading abut the back issue stuff you have lol. Anyway I am a big comics fan also and feel that we sometimes have the same taste and appreciate the same things. With that said I completley agree with the bucky thing. I feel that the worst thing about it is that his death was so underwhelming.. After such an intense and great run in the cap books he at least deserved a very memorable death! <br />-In the preview issues for captain america relaunch #1 they are at a funeral, presumably bukcy's. The only thing that i am really hoping for is an intense flashback scene of FI #3 with more of a bucky centric dialogue/monologue. I feel that with it being written by brubaker and drawn by mcniven, that it could at least add something to the shambled death scene. I too hold out hope that bucky will survive in some way. WIth all of the magic and science going on in fear itself it seems possible that he could make an eic return but i am doubtful. <br />-I have one issue with this book however. Cap, Steve Rogers, The dream, The star spangled leader of the avengers, returns in costume (though no mask, which i think they are saving for the real "return")and no one, NO ONE, not a single avenger, not fury, no one seems to react. NO "cap is back!" not even a monlogue from stark about how he is taking control of the situation. I LOVED the splash page of Cap simply saying he's ready. But cap yelling avengers assemble for the first time in uniform in years gets a tiny 3rd panel on page! c'mon! haha.<br />-I am excited for cap and bucky stories from ww2 because i love them. Anyway sorry for the long comment. Enjoy the rest of your books! i know i will.cap von trappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-8993264414649146202011-07-06T22:52:47.412-04:002011-07-06T22:52:47.412-04:00Without giving away too much spoiler-wise, Mock, i...Without giving away too much spoiler-wise, Mock, in the most recent issue of Captain America(the issue before it changes over "Captain America and Bucky"), there is ONE line at the VERY end of the comic that kind of/sort of makes reference to what happened in Fear Itself... The fact that Brubaker acknowledged it, in a way, does have me a bit worried... With the movie coming out, Marvel is releasing a new Captain America series(of course...), and turning the current Cap series that we know and love into a WWII flashback comic, so I really don't know what the future has in store for poor Bucky. I know what I hope, but I just don't know... I still don't get why Marvel couldn't just change Bucky's name, give him a new series, or let him have a back-up feature in the Captain America series(like Nomad), while giving Steve back the Cap mantle. Maybe Brubaker didn't want to see anybody else work with Bucky? I honestly can't make sense of it.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-56982259534498428912011-07-06T18:54:40.608-04:002011-07-06T18:54:40.608-04:00Why thank you Marvel! another body thrown in the t...Why thank you Marvel! another body thrown in the trash, I really LOVE to see characters being slaughtered left & right, it makes me keep reading your books. same to you DC...<br />Now if you excuse me I'll go back to my fanon...<br /><br />SaidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-76857614313712935382011-07-06T18:47:03.140-04:002011-07-06T18:47:03.140-04:00I'm wondering about the same thing, Mock, and ...I'm wondering about the same thing, Mock, and that's what makes me believe (or maybe "hope" would be a better word) that this isn't the end for Bucky. Brubaker's run has been pretty self-contained in the sense that you don't NEED to read anything else to get it. Even when Steve was shot, it wasn't like you had to have read the main Civil War series to understand what was going on, just the tie-in issues that Brubaker himself wrote. Having something major like this happen outside of the main Captain America book just seems like it would be pretty out-of-character for Brubaker.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-45726263100407242782011-07-06T17:43:12.153-04:002011-07-06T17:43:12.153-04:00Will Bucky be back after the reboot?

But totally agreed. If this really WAS the end of Bucky, it's a CRIME that it wasn't Brubaker who wrote Bucky's final scene. Still, I'm holding out hope... I guess we'll see in a few months. I mean by the time FI ends, the Cap movie won't even be in theaters anymore, so reintroducing Bucky then would make perfect sense! Right?? I hope!! Odin fixing everything up would be a GREAT way to redeem the character... Just sayin'!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-7043941312791573282011-07-06T15:03:35.336-04:002011-07-06T15:03:35.336-04:00Nice run-down of this issue, X! Like I said in my ...Nice run-down of this issue, X! Like I said in my comment on your review, I agree that killing off Bucky is a pretty dumb decision. Plus, if it was going to happen, Brubaker definitely should have been the one to write the story. But like you said, hopefully they'll find a way for Odin to resurrect him or for the chaos caused by Sin and the Serpent to be reversed somehow at the end of the miniseries.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.com
