Warning: contains spoilers for Devil's Reign: Winter Soldier #1!
Marvel is teasing new mysteries for the Winter Soldier that stretch all the way back to his days as Captain America’s sidekick Bucky. In Devil’s Reign: Winter Soldier #1, the titular hero steals a file from Wilson Fisk that contains information that could compromise all the Winter Soldier has worked to achieve—and learns of a much deeper, darker mystery in the process. The special one-shot, on sale now in print and digital, ties into the current Devil’s Reign event and sets the stage for the upcoming Captain America #0.
The Winter Soldier is James “Bucky” Barnes, Captain America’s teenage sidekick during World War II. During a top-secret mission, Bucky was seemingly killed, but in reality, was found by the Soviets. The Russians brainwashed Barnes, turning him into a lethal assassin named the Winter Soldier. Captain America would later encounter the Soldier in the present day, and eventually helped his friend shake the Winter Soldier programming. He would temporarily assume the role of Captain America while Steve Rogers was seemingly dead; after Rogers’ resurrection, he returned to the role of the Winter Soldier, often coming to Captain America’s aid. Now, Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin has begun a one-man war against New York’s superheroes, and the Winter Soldier finds himself drawn into the conflict. Devil's Reign: The Winter Soldier is written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, illustrated by Nico Leon, colored by Felipe Sobreiro and lettered by Joe Caramagna.
