Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Dec 06, 2018Winter Soldier #1 is a pleasant surprise. It had a well-executed concept that let Kyle Higgins expand upon Bucky Barnes' character. Higgins helped expand the character a little more for me. Though Rod Reis' art style is not my favorite, it works well for this series and fits with the tone of the story. All in all, this was an excellent first issue. It looks to be a pretty solid five-issue miniseries and I am very excited to see what happens next. That final page teaser was also excellent in building hype for the next issue! Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Dec 05, 2018The Winter Soldier launches into his latest mission with noble goals and promising challenges. The script is playing it safe here at the start, but a noteworthy helping of passionate art saves this from any danger of falling down into the run of the mill. It's already rewarding, and future issues seem likely to get even stronger. Read Full Review

Dec 05, 2018WINTER SOLDIER #1 sets up an interesting premise for Bucky, but it does so with the least amount of originality. The art feels wildly inconsistent, though it may still be the most redeeming factor of the issue. I'm hoping for something better during round two. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Dec 08, 2018The Winter Soldier #1 is a very good start to this new mini-series. Kyle Higgins showed his strong understanding of who Bucky Barnes is. The mission Higgins gives to Bucky has plenty of potential for what it means to the character and general outlook of the Marvel Universe. Having Rod Reis on board will ensure Winter Soldier will also be a very good looking mini-series as well. Read Full Review

Dec 05, 2018I wanted to love this first issue of Winter Soldier as I am a big fan of Kyle Higgins, but it fell flat for me. I hope things pick up next month, because the art and story just didnt do it for me here. This book is beginning on a short leash for me. Read Full Review

I enjoyed this a lot. I liked Bucky's characterization. And the ending left me excited, when it really should've made me roll my eyes, so I gotta give Higgins credit, I think.

I didn't expect much in this issue tbh but it's not bad. It's scoring time. Cover-1/2 Standard Dialogue-2/2 Nice recap and conversations Characters-2/2 You get to know winter soldier's personality and villain from end Story-1/2 It's not bad but it's not that original has a blend of terminator to it Art-2/2 Has a weird paint feeling to it like a art museum Buy- Sure if you'll like but you can just give it a read online.

Bucky's "henchman witness protection program" is a nice idea. It'd struggle to carry the issue by itself; good thing it's supported by strong character work and a cracking good antagonist introduction. The storytelling skills at work here are already good, but I hope to see even better writing and art in the future.

"I'm a big fan" This was good. Interesting story, good dialogue and that ending... damn. On the fence about the art though. We'll see how it goes.
