'Captain America' #1 Preview: Will Things Turn Out Sucky for Bucky?

Spoiler Alert.

Marvel released a preview today of Captain America #1 sans any word balloons or captions, but comics being the visual medium that they are, the writing seems to be on the wall.

Things may turn out sucky for Bucky.

But hey, if there are two characters who have proven that death is nothing but a rite of passage—it’s Cap and Bucky. The two will be featured in their own ongoing alongside the relaunching of Captain America by Ed Brubaker and Steve McNiven. And boy are those some nice-looking pages (after the jump).

Of course, I’m only speculating about the fate of Mr. Barnes, who was last seen fighting a were-grizzly in the last issue of Captain America. We’ll have to wait and see what the House of Ideas has in store for the reformed Winter Soldier.
