Review / Commentaries


Bucky Barnes: the Winter Soldier #3 Review by (January 29, 2015)
Comments: Most of the names on Mer-Z-Bow look like some sort of kicky wordplay but I can’t identify anything.

Review: Again, this looks like nothing else Marvel is doing; it’s an unfamiliar take on a well-known character. The art is fascinating and bizarre and enticing and off-putting at the same time—even if we manage to follow what’s going on in under six readings. The dialogue doesn’t fit the grim and intense Winter Soldier we’ve been reading about for a decade. But then it doesn’t fit the dirty task Bucky is handed either—outer space hitman. So…it’s cool and trippy and confusing and strange. It’s only a comic book. Just go with it.
