The Falcon and the Winter Soldier follows WandaVision as Marvel brings its property to the small screen in long-form series. Captain America’s two closest friends will team up to battle the same enemies Cap fought for years in the comics.

To see a completely different look at Bucky Barnes, check out Winter Soldier: The Bitter March, a five-issue 2014 miniseries by Rick Remender and Roland Boschi. This takes place long before Bucky ever became a hero again, as it started in 1966 when he was the newly revived Winter Soldier, working for the Soviet Union.

Bucky is Winter Soldier at his deadliest here. His job is to acquire some scientists, dead or alive. However, he also has to face Hydra at the same time. This is a pure ’60s Cold War callback.
