Bucky Barnes Is Not Dead
In a move that shocked the comic book world last month, Matt Fraction supposedly killed Bucky Barnes, the new Captain America in the pages of the mega cross over event Fear Itself.
Unlike the actual concept of death, comic book deaths are rarely taken seriously. They're often done for shock value, to boost comic book sales, to create dramatic tension, or for creative decisions. It was once said that the only characters that stay dead in comics are Bucky, Jason Todd and Uncle Ben. However since 2005, this now only applies to the latter.
Bucky Barnes was different though. Writer Ed Brubaker brought him back into the pages of Captain America in such a brilliant way; it wasn't too long until he had become more interesting than the original Captain America Steve Rogers. It is without a doubt the best comic book retcon of all time. Barnes had apparently landed in the arctic, badly wounded after un-successfully trying to defuse a bomb in WW2. Bucky's body was later discovered by a Russian General who brainwashes Bucky to be a Soviet Assassin, under the codename, The Winter Soldier. After years of service and killings in the name of the state, Barnes is eventually rescued by Captain America, who uses a mystical device known as the Cosmic Cube to restores Bucky's memories.
That's where it got interesting. After the original Captain America, was shot down in the aftermath of the superhero mega event Civil War, Bucky stepped up and assumed the mantle of Captain America. Trying to live up to Steve Rogers, Bucky fought villains from the past and future, also serving alongside the Avengers. When Steve Rogers returned, he allowed Bucky to keep the mantle of Captain America, until villain Baron Zemo revealed to the world that their new Avenger was a former Soviet weapon. A court trial later, and Bucky has met his demise.
Killing Bucky in the pages of Fear Itself was a silly movie for Marvel. Bucky's books were far more compelling and dramatic than anything else Marvel had to offer. Unlike most characters, Bucky wasn't over saturated and had tons of story potential left in him. Why would Marvel turn down the opportunity to keep the stories of one of their most interesting characters going in the near future. Can he even be rescued from this terrible clichéd shock death?
Well the clues suggest Bucky might be involved in a future storyline involving giant robots that were last seen through visions in the pages of Invincible Iron Man and Captain America Reborn. In fact, Steve Roger's vision clearly illustrated a dead Winter Soldier lying amongst fallen heroes. Bucky Barnes has not died as the Winter Soldier. He supposedly died as Captain America at the hands of the Red Skull's daughter Sin. What's interesting though is how underplayed his death has been. It wasn't really dramatic in the pages of Fear Itself, and considering his last words were 'The Serpent is coming', it's obvious Bucky's set to be part of the God of Fear's plans at some point.
The most obvious choice for Bucky after this bland event is to have him take on The Winter Soldier mantle one more, and work in black-ops role. The only reason I can perhaps see this not happening is that Marvel won't want comics about Captain America's sidekick outselling their main flagship Captain America title.
If Barnes is really dead, then it really does suggest comic writers are running out of ideas, and the mega event death is purely becoming an over-used comic book cliché. If Marvel keeps this up, I wouldn't be surprised to hear fans call for a total reboot.
