Captain America’s old pal, James "Bucky" Barnes, is back and set to star in his own limited series with the All New Marvel NOW! title Winter Soldier: The Bitter March, set to launch in February, just ahead of the April 4th movie release (see "First 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' Trailer").
Winter Soldier: The Bitter March is written by Rick Remender (Uncanny X-Force, Venom, Uncanny Avengers, Captain America) with art by Roland Boschi (Ghost Rider, Punisher Max, Wolverine Max) and covers by Andrew Robinson (Starman, Hawkman, Star Wars, The Fifth Beatle). The story is set during the Cold War, with Bucky dispatched by his Soviet masters to retrieve two Nazi scientists.
In an interview on Marvel.com, Remender (who is the current writer on Captain America) said of the series, "Winter Soldier and Captain America are brother and sister titles and it’s important to me that the two things really intertwine in a way that pays out later."
This will be a complement (covering some of Bucky’s "lost years") for the upcoming Captain America movie tie-in titles (see "Brubaker Lauds 'Winter Soldier' Publishing").
In February
