Hey did you know in this issue Bucky retrieves his file and it says hydra still considers him to be active duty. Hey did you know that he walked into the house of a murderer to get the file and he didn't realise it because he thought the bodies everywhere were the usual ones he sees in his head. Hey did you know I am punching the walls and climbing the ceilings

still wondering if this was:
a dropped subplot about something in Bucky's past?
just part of Bucky's dream/delirium and nothing more
something they're going to explore in the future? (I don't know if I want this tbh)
something that just served to increase my paronia and activate the comic brain function, lmao!

Hello I'm here to tell you about the best (most deranged) comic I've read recently. That comic is Devil's Reign: Winter Soldier (2022) #1, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, and inked by Nico Leon.
Now the Winter Soldier is a character that does nothing for me, personally, but this issue also features Wilson Fisk doing the most, so.
Super mad that the purple children have erased his knowledge of Daredevil's identity, Fisk isn't exactly keeping it together.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Bucky, having learned that Fisk keeps a file on literally everybody, decides to go steal his in order to fill some gaps in his memory. He heads to Fisk's house to do just that. He finds, however, that someone has killed Fisk's whole security team, though he can't be sure if that isn't just a hallucination.
He's then jump scared by Fisk.
Tumblr media
He soon realizes that Fisk is sleepwalking, and, what's more, he killed all his own men.
Tumblr media
Most of the remainder of the issue is devoted to their ensuing fight. Bucky gets his ass handed to him even though Fisk is asleep throughout, almost dying. But, as funny as that alone is, what's even funnier is that Fisk destroys his whole house, literally causing the foundation to crumble.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What a perfect ending: Wesley continuing to be the most loyal henchman ever and Fisk oddly at peace for once. (Oh, and Bucky does get out with his files, by the way.)
Anyway, this absolutely delighted me to read so I'm sharing it here!

Bucky Barnes Aka The Winter Soldier.
Tumblr media
This reading guide is going to be split up in several parts depending on what alias he was using at the time
Timely Comics
Timely Comics was the original name a lot of Bucky's first comics were published under when most of the original comics came out. These have mostly been retconned out However they are canon in the way that they are comics in universe. I call this Pre-Timely Retcon
During this time Bucky was around 12-16 years old and he was going by "Bucky."
Please be aware that these comics have a lot of racist, sexist and overall derogatory approach to people who aren't cis white straight men.
Captain America Vol 1 (At least the first issue)
Young Allies Vol 1 (This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character)
The Invaders Vol 1
The Avengers #56
Marvels #1
Personally I don't think you absolutely have to read these, but I recommend the ones in bold .
Bucky
Post-Timely Retcon, the Timely comics are now comics in canon. What age Bucky is depends on what comic you read. He's between 12-16 when he meets Steve and 16-20 when he dies. It depends on the writer.
Captain America 65th Anniversary Special #1
Avengers/Invaders*
Young Allies Comics 70th Anniversary Special **
Wolverine Origins #17, 18, 19, 20,
Captain America: Man Out of Time
Captain America & Bucky #620-#628***
Captain America White
*This comic is very weird in its treatment of Jewish characters, they give Robots serial numbers on their wrist to get Jim Hammond upset and equate that to the treatment of Jewish people in the holocaust
** This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character
*** this comic shows depictions of a concentration camp
Winter Soldier
Captain America Vol 5
Winter Soldier : Winter Kills
Wolverine (2003) #38-#40
Wolverine Origins #15, 16, 23, 25
Winter Soldier: The Bitter March
-Read Captain America section here if you want to be chronological
Winter Soldier (2012)
All-New Invaders
Black Widow (2014)
Winter Soldier (2018)
Invaders (2019)
Captain America
Captain America Vol 5
Captain America: Forever Allies*
Avengers/Invaders
Invaders Now!
Fear Itself
* This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character
Hopefully this helps anyone looking into reading Bucky! I love him he's one of my favourites. Some of the comics may overlap being good reading for him as Bucky/Winter Soldier/Cap but I've tried to make it easy to get into!
Here are a list of other comics that I don't think are important but could help with further reading:
The Marvels Project - Good to lean about the Golden age heroes! Tales of Suspense (2017) - Personally I don't like this one but for WinterHawk shippers this is the main one!
The Unstoppable Wasp
Strikeforce - It's fun!
Devil's Reign: Winter Soldier - Not a personal fav, I don't like the new "He was always planned to be Winter soldier, even before his birth" but if you like it, this is a good place to start.

The Fall of Calais
Henri believed that an attack on Calais, the plan for which had been in long gestation, was the surest way to restore French honour. Guise was initially sceptical. In English hands since 1347, Calais was protected by a formidable system of outlying forts which had been modernized during the reign of Henry VIII. Moreover, the campaigning season was late and the Calais pale was dreadfully inhospitable terrain; its marshy and windswept flatlands presented a formidable challenge to supplying an army during the worst months of the year in a country that had recently suffered one of the greatest military disasters of the sixteenth century. Despite his misgivings, Guise had been presented with the opportunity of posing as the saviour of the country and he seized it with alacrity. The campaign exemplifies how the Guise brothers worked together as a team, or as "two heads in one hood", as a contemporary put it. Charles and François left nothing to chance. The final months of the year were dedicated to meticulous planning. An old-fashioned captain in the army, Blaise de Monluc, was astonished that a soldier like François should spend so much time on paper work: "The devil take all these writings for me, it seems he has a mind to save his secretaries labour." The logistical problems of supplying an army of 30-36000 men throughout the winter in country suffering from war fatigue cannot be underestimated. Cardinal Charles busied himself with feeding Mars, using expedients to screw cash from taxpayers and reluctant lenders. "I do not cease day and night," he replied to his brother's urgent demands, "to torment myself to advance your money and to pick all the purses I can find to help you." Squeezing them until their pips squeaked did nothing for his popularity among the common people.
Calais's dozen or so outlying forts amounted to a formidable obstacle. Above the town's main gate was the inscription: "Then shall the Frenchmen Calais win; when iron and lead like cork shall swim." Its main weakness was its old-fashioned castle, which had been overlooked by Henry VIII's engineers. The English were caught off-guard by an attack outside the campaigning season. The suddenness of the attack on 1 January allowed the French to capture a number of outlying forts and bring the town within cannon range. The French were thoroughly prepared for the terrain, to the point of having made pitch-covered mats to serve as artillery platforms on the marshes. They were helped by the cold weather which froze the shallower marshes, enabling their guns and equipment to cross the treacherous ground easily. After two days of bombardment from across the river Hames a breach was made in the castle walls. The river was fordable at low tide and the duke advanced, waist-deep in the water, at the head of several companies, while diversionary attacks elsewhere drew off the defenders. His troops took the castle with ease and put the garrison to the sword. He retired to camp, leaving his brothers, Aumale and Elbeuf, to hold the castle against two bloody English counter-attacks. On 8 January Lord Wentworth sued for terms. He and several English lords were held for ransom (though they were eventually released) and the rest of the garrison and all those inhabitants who wished to leave were given safe passage to the Flemish border. Guise captured a significant quantity of military supplies and commercial goods, which he shared among his captains [..]
The fall of Calais shocked Europe in its daring and its challenge to the traditional ways of war.

So I kind of accidentally helped trigger a bit of a freak out in the Buckynat fandom for calling out Jackson Lanzing on twitter yesterday. Whoops.
I'm talking about this exchange >> click me
Anyway, this is giving me an excuse to word vomit about my feelings about Man on the Wall so whatever.
I said yesterday that every time Lanzing mentions how important the Kot/Rudy Winter Soldier run is to him (especially re: the upcoming Cap run), I start sweating, and I think that's a common response since most Bucky fans I know hate that run. I wanted to ask him directly what it is about that comic that speaks to him but I didn't wanna come off as confrontational, so I didn't.
So, I'm going to attempt to parse it out.
So far he's said:
"A huge part of our story is about taking Steve out of the superhero game and into something resembling normal life."
And about Bucky he said: "And on the Bucky side, Higgins/Reis looms large as groundwork for the character as he walks into our story. And I've been pretty open about how the Kot/Rudy run completely changed up my view of Bucky as a character, so consider that one required reading."
So the common thread I see here is 'a life beyond duty'. Second Chances was Bucky's attempt at having a somewhat normal life. Moreover, the story revolved about Bucky facilitating other people walking away from bad situations in order to start over as civilians. We also know from Devil's Reign: Winter Soldier that he just gave up this happy ending in order to learn the truth about his past.
So this brings me to Man on the Wall.
On paper, Man on the Wall has a fascinating concept. Consider where Bucky is, emotionally, when he takes the job. He's been chasing personal redemption for a while, and it hasn't quite worked out. His run as Cap ended poorly. He tried to find redemption by reclaiming the Winter Soldier, and that also ended badly; he not only lost Natasha, but he went to such dark places in that run, that while attempting to redeem "the Winter Soldier", he wound up corrupting himself. And then Fury's offer comes along and he's quick to snatch it. And there's nothing redemptive about it, it's resignation. It's him saying, this is what I've done all my life, doing the dirty work is all I’m good for, (he did it for Steve back in the day, after all), what I am is a soldier, and a killer. And yeah, there is some aspect of nobility here, as in doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, but ultimately it's an escalation. And a regression of sorts.
That’s where he is when he arrives at Mer-Z Bow and meets Ventolin. 
Overall, I found that run to be difficult to follow and connect to, for multiple reasons, but the point it was trying to make is summarized in that last panel:
Tumblr media
Just because this is what you’ve always done, it doesn’t mean it’s who you have to be for the rest of your life, you can open yourself up to new avenues. And that is beautiful. And I would’ve loved to see Bucky wrestle with that idea while doing Fury’s dirty work.
The problem is, that's not what happens in this book. Mostly because Bucky spends the bulk of this run with very little agency in the plot, because all he does is just stand there and look pretty. Like, literally, I'm not even exaggerating. Daisy Johnson sees more action. Cause, when it comes down to it, the main character of this book is not our Bucky, it's the Old Man Bucky from that future/different universe. This comic is like that Chris Pratt and J. Law movie Passengers, in that it's supposed to be a space romance, but it's really just a psychological thriller. There's this great Youtube video where someone explores how the story changes if we edit the movie so that it starts when J.Law's character wakes up and that we, the audience, find out Chris Pratt woke her up on purpose at the same time she does and we get to feel the real horror of what he did.
That’s how I feel about this comic.
Sure, I know I have my biases because I’m a buckynat fan, but I’m also pretty ship neutral and can be up for anything as long as you sell it to me. The thing is, I never bought Bucky and Ventolin’s love story because Kot never actually showed it to me. I don’t know why they’re in love (I mean, we barely even see them interact, to be honest). Actually, if I’m remembering this correctly, neither does Bucky, he just feels it because he had a dream. A dream that we are not privy to. A dream that may or may not have been psychically sent to him via Old Man Bucky. And this is where things get icky for me, because it brings up issues of consent. 
This comic was a bit confusing but I think it’s fair to interpret it this way. A version of Bucky somewhere in the universe wound up in Mer-Z Bow, fell in love and found peace. And now that Bucky is out there making sure every Bucky gets his happy ending. He directly interferes with our Bucky’s life. And I think Bucky has had enough of people messing about with his agency. But no one ever brings this up in the text. Bucky has feelings he can’t explain and he just goes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So Jackson Lanzing says he’s a Ventolin stan and my first reaction is lol, why. But I think it might be more about the idea of what Ventolin represented: the possibility of a life beyond the duty of being a soldier.
And I’m okay with that conceit being explored by a better writer than Ales Kot. I think Kot came up with a great idea, he just didn’t understand Bucky well enough to do anything really meaningful with it.
Devil’s Reign is setting up major retcons for Bucky. We don’t know the extent of it yet. But we at least know Bucky will be wrestling with issues of choice and consent again, cause it looks like he was groomed to be a killer his whole life. And that’s gotta be brutal, especially if it turns out his parents were in on it, thus destroying the memory of his family, too. 
And to circle this back to buckynat, I get the feeling Lanzing (and maybe Kelly) might think that relationship belongs to a specific moment in Bucky’s life, years that are associated with great darkness. And that in a way, as long as they are together, then they’ll never really leave the Red Room (psychologically speaking). If the idea is having Bucky move on from the life that was chosen for him, then I can see them not touching it. That doesn’t mean I agree with that, I’m just speculating at to possible reasonings.
Anyway, I rambled for long enough.
