With one issue to go I'm kinda downhearted that this wee gem of a miniseries has to end as it demonstrates perfectly the power of a miniseries. Not beholden to an overarching narrative and without the need to take tie-ins into consideration, but with an eye on the overall universe, Winter Soldier-The Bitter March shows what a great creative team can do when given the sandbox of characters past's to play with. Also seeing Ran Shen back in his SHIELD days of yore (before he became Iron Nail) wonderfully enriches the current Cap run. Thanks to my Dad i grew up on a staple diet of spy-thrillers and cat and mouse movies " think The Eiger Sanction mixed with Narrow Margin but with superheroics thrown in and you have something approaching this series. Who wants 'events' when short arcs are this bloody good? Read Full Review
There's only one issue left so you should get the this one and the three before it to catch up so you don't miss out on what will truly be a great ending. Read Full Review
In the Drain he has a villain truly terrifying, able to use man's worst weapon -- their own doubts and fears -- against them. The Drain is so creepy yet convincing and Remender just straight up unleashes him, his revealed truths more pointed than any weapon. Read Full Review
This is a must-read if you’re reading Captain America, but everyone should read it because it’s just plain fun. Read Full Review
While I don’t see the reasoning behind Remender having Bucky regain his consciousness, the writing for Ran Shen is great and this is probably one of the best Winter Soldier stories ever.
