Bucky Barnes Aka The Winter Soldier.
Tumblr media
This reading guide is going to be split up in several parts depending on what alias he was using at the time
Timely Comics
Timely Comics was the original name a lot of Bucky's first comics were published under when most of the original comics came out. These have mostly been retconned out However they are canon in the way that they are comics in universe. I call this Pre-Timely Retcon
During this time Bucky was around 12-16 years old and he was going by "Bucky."
Please be aware that these comics have a lot of racist, sexist and overall derogatory approach to people who aren't cis white straight men.
Captain America Vol 1 (At least the first issue)
Young Allies Vol 1 (This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character)
The Invaders Vol 1
The Avengers #56
Marvels #1
Personally I don't think you absolutely have to read these, but I recommend the ones in bold .
Bucky
Post-Timely Retcon, the Timely comics are now comics in canon. What age Bucky is depends on what comic you read. He's between 12-16 when he meets Steve and 16-20 when he dies. It depends on the writer.
Captain America 65th Anniversary Special #1
Avengers/Invaders*
Young Allies Comics 70th Anniversary Special **
Wolverine Origins #17, 18, 19, 20,
Captain America: Man Out of Time
Captain America & Bucky #620-#628***
Captain America White
*This comic is very weird in its treatment of Jewish characters, they give Robots serial numbers on their wrist to get Jim Hammond upset and equate that to the treatment of Jewish people in the holocaust
** This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character
*** this comic shows depictions of a concentration camp
Winter Soldier
Captain America Vol 5
Winter Soldier : Winter Kills
Wolverine (2003) #38-#40
Wolverine Origins #15, 16, 23, 25
Winter Soldier: The Bitter March

Black Widow (2014)
Winter Soldier (2018)
Invaders (2019)
Captain America

Fear Itself
* This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character
Hopefully this helps anyone looking into reading Bucky! I love him he's one of my favourites. Some of the comics may overlap being good reading for him as Bucky/Winter Soldier/Cap but I've tried to make it easy to get into!
Here are a list of other comics that I don't think are important but could help with further reading:
The Marvels Project - Good to lean about the Golden age heroes! Tales of Suspense (2017) - Personally I don't like this one but for WinterHawk shippers this is the main one!
The Unstoppable Wasp
Strikeforce - It's fun!
Devil's Reign: Winter Soldier - Not a personal fav, I don't like the new "He was always planned to be Winter soldier, even before his birth" but if you like it, this is a good place to start.
Young Avengers Presents - Important Bucky interacting with younger heroes

Sharon: And he never saw her again? Steve: Never even sent a secret wire out... too scared he'd give her away. He never really talked about her either... but there wasn't a doubt in my mind where he was going when the war was over. Sharon: God, that must've been hell... realizing the only girl you ever loved already grew old without you. Steve: Yeah...We've really got to find him, Sharon. He's all alone out there. And everything he cared about is dead and buried...
The best of Bucky Barnes from Captain America 65th Anniversary Special.

a (mostly) comprehensive comics guide to james buchanan “bucky” barnes / the winter soldier.
this is my simple attempt to make comics accessible, for both seasoned readers & folks that know nothing about comics and just want to see more of bucky.
key
[ ▶ ] personal favorites & best-of-bucky moments
[ ✘ ] non-essentials & blink-and-you-miss-it appearances
[ ⚑ ] marvel event; typically do not directly feature bucky but impact the universe/him in some way
[ ★ ] ongoing / still being released as of january 2020
[ ☗ ] indicates that i haven’t read this myself & can’t be sure of how involved bucky is
last updated: february 6, 2020
golden age comics
Tumblr media
[ ✘ ] captain america comics (1941) #1-12 
[ ✘ / ☗ ] young allies (1941-1946) #1-8
[ ✘ / ☗ ] all-winners comics (1941-1947) #1-21
[ ✘ ] quick note:
none of these are essentials. if you are a history buff or are interested in the roots of the characters, these might interest you. however, please take note that while there are some cute/fun scenes & these have historic significance as early anti-nazi messages from jewish writers, these comics are deeply “of their time” and full of overtly racist caricatures & many other deeply problematic themes/images, and i generally would recommend avoiding these.
silver age comics & beyond
[ ☗ ] avengers (1963) #1-20
[ ☗ ] avengers classic (2007) #1-12
(reprints of 1963, w/ new stories)
[ ☗ ] tales of suspense (1959) #63-71
[ ☗ ] giant-size invaders (1975) #1;invaders (1975-1979) #1-22; annual (1977); marvel premiere #29-30; avengers #71; invaders #23-41; giant-size invaders 2; what if? (1977) 4; invaders (1993) #1-4
[ ✘ ] fantastic four annual (1976) #11
(the fantastic four go back in time to wwii and help the invaders stop the nazis from winning the war with vibranium. 40s kid bucky plays a small part here.)
90s / almost modern comics
[ ✘ ] adventures of captain america (1991) #1-4
 (a 90s retelling of captain america’s origins - some interesting panels, but nonessential.)
[ ☗ ] marvel universe (1998) #1-7
captain america: sentinel of liberty (1998) #12 
(1940s cap & bucky adventure, featuring some cute “what comes next” dialogue)
captain america vol 3 (1998, dan jurgens era) #32, #48, #50
(#32 is a wwii story told from the perspective of someone cap & bucky saved (brief bucky cameos), but #48 ends with a beautiful funeral/memorial scene honoring bucky & featuring rebecca barnes.)
[ ✘ ] captain america annual (2001) #1 
(dan jurgens era cap story; offers a new 40s invaders story in which cap is captured by the red skull; president bush is in it for some reason)
modern backstory
Tumblr media
[ ▶ ] captain america: man out of time (2010) #1-5 
(modern retelling of origins; great starting place to get familiar with bucky and steve in 616 and incredibly heart-warming.)
[ ▶ ] captain america: white (2015) #1-5
(another retelling, featuring some gorgeous art and a letter “to” bucky)
captain america comics 70th anniversary special (2009) #1
(40s bucky narrates steve’s origin story again, providing some new context from before project rebirth.)
the marvels project (2009) #1-8
(a modern retelling of several major characters, including steve & bucky, by ed brubaker)
[ ▶ / ✘ ] history of the marvel universe (2019) #1-6 
(don’t start here; this creates a general marvel timeline of the whole universe/events/etc)
self-contained stories
Tumblr media
[ ✘ ] captain america: the 1940s newspaper strip (2010) #1-3
(a reimagining of the 40s cap comics as mini ‘newspaper’ strips. cute idea but nonessential.)
[ ▶ ] captain america annual (2018) #1
(1940s cap & bucky run into jewish, romani, & gay camp escapees.)
[ ▶ ] winter soldier: the bitter march (2014) #1-5
(1960s political thriller on a train, featuring some incredible sad dialogue)
[ ▶ ] marvel comics presents (2019) #7
(remembering a 1968 winter soldier mission; see some of ‘bucky’s’ kindness escaping)
pop secret exclusive comic (2016) #1
(not really a full comic; promotional pamphlet in a popcorn box ft bucky & black panther, linked [here])
[ ▶ ] a year of marvels: july infinite comic (2016) #1 
(bucky’s shit is stolen and he wants it back)
[ ▶ ] winter soldier: second chances (2018) #1-5
(included below, but can be read as self-contained; a post-winter soldier journey about healing; bucky has a cat, goes to therapy, is friends with sharon, ‘adopts’ a kid - all good)
main storyline (earth-616)
Tumblr media
[ ▶ ] captain america vol. 5 (2004-2011, aka: brubaker era) #1-21; 65th anniversary special
(this is often recommended as a starting place for bucky comics, and for good reason - the plot tends to be pretty good, the winter soldier is introduced for the first time, etc. not my personal favorite *comic* generally, but vital for understanding bucky in 616. in tpbs: winter soldier ultimate collection & red menace ultimate collection.)
[ ▶ ] wolverine (2003) #36-40
(“origins and endings” arc, set after house of m. wolverine regains memories of his life, some of which involve bucky. shows a pretty dark and grim side of bucky and his time as the winter soldier, & is a pretty well-paced mini-arc overall.)
[ ▶ ] wolverine: origins (2006) #1-30
(this is a continuation of the story mentioned above (wolverine #36-40) with wolverine unraveling his memories/past and finding his son. bucky comes in around issue #15 and pretty consistently stays until around issue #30. we see a really interesting, darker take on bucky’s wwii days, as well as modern bucky working with logan.)
[ ⚑ / ✘ ] civil war (2006) #1-6; civil war: the confession 
(if i remember correctly, this “marvel event” does not feature bucky at all - not a single panel - but is vital context for the second half of the brubaker era. read the wikipedia summary if you’d prefer to skip it.)
fallen son: the death of captain america (2007) #1, #5
(#1 is a wolverine-centric story immediately following the death of captain america in civil war. the opening pages involve bucky and logan, and while nonessential are quite well done and interesting. #5 focuses on the two funerals of steve rogers & includes blink-and-you-miss-it bucky.)
[ ▶ ] captain america vol. 5 continued (2004-2011, aka: brubaker era) #22-42; winter soldier: winter kills; #43-48
(bucky!cap begins during this arc. brubaker era continued. “the death of captain america” & “the man with no face” arcs.)
[ ▶ ] young avengers presents patriot (2008) #1
(this is most interesting if you read the young avengers comics & ‘truth: red, white, and black’ first - but still an exceptionally sweet short story.)
[ ▶ ] avengers/invaders (2008) #1-12
(bucky!cap comic; 1940s invaders are transported to 2008, 1940s bucky’s war journals)
[ ⚑ / ✘ ] secret invasion (2008) #1-8
(this event bored me to tears, but i do think buck is in a few panels.)
Tumblr media
the new avengers (2010) #48-60
(after the secret invasion, bucky!cap creates his own team of avengers.)
free comic book day avengers (2009) #1
(a short story where the avengers go toe-to-toe with another god. set during the lead-up to the siege event. has a few cute panels of bucky!cap.)
[ ▶ ] young allies comics 70th anniversary special (2009) #1
(super good; bucky!cap contemplating what it means for all his friends to be dead, dealing with the weight of the cap mantle - and reunites with some old friends.)
[ ▶ ] captain america: forever allies (2011) #1-4
(modern bucky!cap revisiting his old friends and an old young allies mystery.)
captain america vol. 5 continued (2004-2011, aka: brubaker era) #49-50; #600-601
(this is called the “road to reborn” which is going to spark another change in re: cap.)
captain america: reborn (2009) #1-6
(continues the brubaker storyline, just under a different name.)
Tumblr media
[ ⚑ / ▶ ] siege (2009) #1-4
(the rare enjoyable marvel event; bucky has a pretty decent role in this one, too.)
new avengers: siege (2009) aka new avengers #61-64; new avengers annual #3; dark reign: the list - avengers; new avengers finale
(continues the new avengers storyline and leads through the siege event. features this scene with bucky!cap saying he killed hitler.)
siege: captain america (2009) #1
(bucky!cap and steve!cap team up.)
avengers: the initiative (2007) #34
(while he also shows up briefly and inconsequentially in #19 and #35, there is actually a good chunk of #34 set during the siege event featuring bucky!cap and steve!cap working together against the taskmaster - pretty fun stuff.)
captain america vol. 5 continued (2004-2011, aka: brubaker era); #602-605; who will wield the shield?
(brubaker continued. “two americas” tpb.)
fall of the hulks: gamma (2009) #1
(i personally haven’t read any hulk stories, so this was hard for me to follow. however, bucky!cap does seem to feature quite prominently in this issue.)
world war hulks (2010) #1 
(continues the fall of the hulks storyline. bucky!cap features in the mini story arc ‘nobody dies forever’ and tells a story from his time as the winter soldier.)
hulk (2008) #21-22
(part of the ‘fall of the hulks’ and ‘world war hulks’ storyline, where bucky!cap plays a small role and becomes a gamma-infused hulk.)
[ ▶ ] world war hulks: captain america vs wolverine (2010) #1-2
(some more hulk stuff, but this one is actually pretty fun - bucky!cap and logan are in a hulked out rage, which triggers memories of another fight they had in bucky’s winter soldier days.)
avengers vol. 4 (2010) #1-6; #12.1; #16
(bucky!cap joins the avengers. we meet james rogers.)
[ ✘ ] invaders now! (2010) #1-5
(bucky does have a major role, but this isn’t essential to the timeline nor particularly good imo - if you want to skip something, this might be it.)
captain america vol. 5 continued (2004-2011, aka: brubaker era); #606-610; #611-615, #615.1; #616-619
(brubaker continued. “no escape”, “the trial of captain america”, & “prisoner of war” arcs)
captain america vol. 5 continued (2004-2011, aka: brubaker era); #620-624; #625-628
(brubaker continued. not continuous to the story, alternatively titled “captain america and bucky” - “the life story of bucky barnes” and “old wounds.”)
Tumblr media
fear itself: the book of the skull (2011) #1
(provides some context to red skull, sin, baron zemo, and hydra in the lead-up to the fear itself event. features flashbacks to sidekick bucky in the 40s.)
[ ⚑ / ▶ ] fear itself (2010) #1-7; and fear itself: captain america (2010) #7.1
(another event that is actually pretty good & majorly features bucky - essential for the story. bucky officially gives up the captain america mantle.)
secret avengers vol 1 (2011) #15
(this issue involves natasha in the wake of bucky’s death during the fear itself arc. in it, she talks with a group of clickbait reporters about mortality and grief and loss. bucky doesn’t feature centrally, but there’s a strong bucky!nat focus here.)
[ ▶ ] winter soldier (2012) #1-19
(more from ed brubaker; includes the arcs “the longest winter,” “broken arrow,” “black widow hunt,” and “the electric ghost.” uneven, but mostly very good arc about finding redemption.)
[ ✘ ] captain america vol 7 (2013) #1-25
(at the end of this run is where sam wilson takes on the captain america mantle. bucky appears in #13 in a winter soldier flashback and #20 in a fantasy sequence, but otherwise this isn’t essential.)
[ ✘ ] all-new invaders (2014) #1-15
(not my favorite, but it’s okay - a rebooted modern team of invaders.)
Tumblr media
[ ⚑  ] original sin (2014) #1-8
(the arc where bucky becomes the man on the wall. a small-scale, space/murder mystery-esque event that is pretty fun.)
[ ✘ ] bucky barnes: the winter soldier (2015)
(man on the wall bucky. personally, i count this one as nonessential - it’s very abstract and not very cohesive. not much happens, so don’t feel bad if you skip it.)
[ ⚑ / ✘ ] secret wars (2015) #1-9
(non-essential reading for bucky; just know that some weird things happen with alternate universes here.)
Tumblr media
all-new, all-different avengers vol 1 (2016) #8-9
(part of the stand-off event. we see the winter soldier with nadia van dyne, & a panel with the three captain americas introducing stand-off omega.)
[ ⚑ / ▶ ] avengers: standoff (2015); welcome to pleasant hill prologue; assault on pleasant hill alpha; captain america: sam wilson #7-8; assault on pleasant hill omega; captain america: steve rogers #1-2; #4
(the titling here gets very silly, so this is a hodgepodge of various issues; the pleasant hill issues are essential, and the full sam wilson/steve rogers runs are pretty good if you’d prefer to slow down and appreciate them. there’s a very comprehensive guide [here].)
[ ▶ ] thunderbolts (2016) #1-6; #7-12
(bucky starts leading the thunderbolts (a group of morally dubious heroes) & looks after a traumatized child-thing. super good. #7 begins the secret empire tie-ins, see below.)
[ ⚑ ] secret empire (2017) #0-10; secret empire: omega (2017); captain america: steve rogers (2016) #16; captain america vol 8 (2017) #25
(it’s a tricky choice to include this, because while the art in these is often very good & the secret empire arc encompasses the majority of sam wilson’s (incredible) time as captain america, this event was very controversial - primarily because steve rogers “becomes” hydra. i think you should still read it if you’d like to, but engage with it with a critical lens. there’s a good guide to the reading order of this run [here].)
Tumblr media
[ ▶ ] tales of suspense: hawkeye & winter soldier (2017) #100-104
(this one is a fan favorite and for good reason. post-secret empire hijinks as bucky and clint barton try to solve a mystery. there’s a big russian bear involved.)
[ ✘ / ★ ] captain america vol 9 (2017; aka: ta-nehisi coates era) #1-?
(so far, features only minor appearances of bucky - but still a pretty interesting take on post-secret empire steve rogers)
[ ▶ ] winter soldier: second chances (2018) #1-5
(included above as well; a post-winter soldier journey about healing; bucky has a cat, goes to therapy, is friends with sharon, ‘adopts’ a kid - all good.)
invaders (2019) #1-12
(a cool modern invaders story that centers around their relationships to namor.)
Tumblr media
[ ⚑ / ✘ / ▶ ] war of the realms (2019) #1-6
(war of the realms is a truly incredible event featuring many years of build-up in the jason aaron thor canon, which you can follow [here]. however, it only features a few quick panels of bucky - so if you have no interest at all in thor, you may want to skip this.)
war of the realms: strikeforce - the war avengers (2019) #1
(another team-up where bucky plays a role during the war of the realms - a quick issue, and pretty fun.)
[ ▶ / ★ ] strikeforce (2019) #1-?
(bucky joins a different strikeforce team, where he and a team ft. billy kaplan, blade, monica rambeau, etc face a post-war of the realms foe. super, super fun.)
guest appearances
Tumblr media
black widow: deadly origin (2010) #1-4
(a black widow origin story with some bucky history involved; features a pretty misogynistic storyline about natasha, though.)
black widow vol 4 (2010) #1-8
(heavy on the buckynat romance, if that is your thing.)
[ ▶ ] black widow vol 5 (2014) #8, #15, #17, #18
(a gorgeous series illustrated by phil noto that heavily features glimpses of bucky!nat after the memory loss in winter soldier 2013 #14. bucky is also in #12 of this run in a blink-and-you-miss-it panel.)
[ ▶ ] black widow vol 6 (2017) #8-10
(“stop pining, schoolboy.” these issues have a bunch of buckynat, also in the wake of natasha’s memory loss.)
[ ▶ ] the web of black widow (2019) #1-5
(bucky’s appearance is mainly in one issue, but this is still a lovely arc about friendship and trust.)
Tumblr media
[ ✘ ] hawkeye & mockingbird (2010) #1, #5
(bucky!cap makes two brief appearances in this run, helping bobbi morse and clint barton.)
[ ▶ / ★ ] hawkeye: freefall (2020) #1-?
(ongoing comic by acclaimed team; so far, very fun vibes between clint, bucky, and sam in #1.)
punisher: war journal (2006) #11
(in this issue, bucky invites punisher to a fight after he dons cap’s uniform.)
punisher: war machine vol 2 (2016) #224-228
(some fun bucky scenes, but nonessential.)
[ ✘ ] punisher vol 12 (2018) #4-5
(“world war frank,” post-secret empire. bucky has a small role fighting against the punisher.)
[ ✘ ] punisher (2019) #16
(bucky is in a few panels on a team with natasha, nick fury, etc.)
Tumblr media
captain america and the falcon (2004) #5-7
(disassembled-era story. in these issues, we see steve having hallucinations of bucky – and mourning a prized photo of bucky he keeps in his apartment.)
[ ✘ ] cable & deadpool (2004) #45
(deadpool goes back in time to kill captain america for hydra. lots of baby bucky being especially ‘feisty,’ but nothing essential plotwise.) 
[ ✘ ]  thunderbolts (2006) #125, #137
(completely nonessential. these taken place during secret invasion and dark reign/siege, respectively. bucky!cap appears in the background a few times.) 
[ ✘ ] new avengers: the reunion (2009) #1-4
(short story set after the events of secret invasion, where mockingbird (bobbi morse) reunites with former husband clint barton. the first two issues feature bucky!cap in a supporting role.)
[ ✘ ] agents of atlas (2009) #3-5
(bucky!cap and the avengers go up against the agents of atlas, in the dark reign/siege era. nonessential, but shows an interesting twist in bucky’s story that doesn’t really ever go anywhere.)
invincible iron man (2008) #8-19; #20-22
(this covers iron man’s story between secret invasion and siege, where bucky!cap plays a small role in tony’s fight against osborn alongside black widow and maria hill.)
[ ✘ ] amazing spider-man (1999) #523, 537, 600, 601, 637, 648, 661
(most of these are set approximately during dark reign, where osborn is in charge and bucky!cap is teamed up with peter parker, et al. mostly just in the background of a few panels, nothing important here.)
[ ✘ ] avengers vs atlas (2010) #1, #4
(the original 60s avengers team replaces the current bucky!cap avengers team for this short team-up arc with the agents of atlas. bucky isn’t in this much, so it’s skippable.)
tails of the pet avengers: dogs of summer (2010) #1
(in the second story of this collection, bucky!cap, thor, and iron man team up – and get turned into frogs.)
avengers vs pet avengers (2010) #1-4
(bucky!cap, iron man, and thor are frogs. they team up with the pet avengers, led by throg - the frog thor.)
[ ▶ ] wolverine: weapon x (2009) #11-15
(a fun arc that starts with steve rogers on a pub crawl. this is one of the few times bucky!cap is used to full advantage, and it’s glorious.)
i am an avenger (2010) #2, #4, #5
(a collection of a bunch of little short stories focusing, primarily, on off-times and side-battles. includes one called ‘a little help’ where bucky!cap inspires a suicidal teen to seek help.)
Tumblr media
[ ✘ ] captain america and the falcon (2011) #1
(an issue that centers on sam wilson/the falcon. includes a nice moment with bucky!cap in the beginning, but he doesn’t play a central role.)
captain america and batroc (2011) #1
(an issue that centers on batroc the leaper. features a fight between bucky!cap and batroc.)
[ ✘ ] x-club (2011) #1, #4
(40s sidekick bucky appears alongside the invaders in a few flashback panels that provide context for this mutant story.)
captain america: hail hydra (2011) #1, #5
(a short series showing how hydra and steve have intersected throughout history. the first and last issues feature bucky - first as sidekick baby bucky and later as bucky!cap.)
a+x (2012) #1
(40s captain america and bucky team up with time-hopping cable to fight against some robots. pretty fun stuff.)
secret avengers vol 2 (2013) #9, #16
(bucky plays a small role here as the winter soldier. i didn’t read the full run so i don’t entirely understand his role, but he seems to team up with bobbi morse/mockingbird and daisy johnson/quake against shield/maria hill’s policy of altering agents’ memories. also hinted that they vacation to hawaii together.)
[ ✘ ] marvel 75th anniversary celebration (2014) #1
(this issue is a collection of mini-stories, released as part of the 75th anniversary stuff. the first two feature one panel of bucky-as-winter-soldier in flashback and a 40s stan lee original classic text story adapted into modern comics.)
[ ✘ ] secret empire: brave new world (2017) #5
(bucky appears briefly in the namor mini-story, sanctuary. he has the thunderbolts arm and a little bun in these panels.)
rise of the black panther (2018) #3
(fills in some gaps following fantastic four #52 from 1966, after they are invited to wakanda. this details the process of king t’challa opening the lands up to international affairs. as the winter soldier, bucky is involved in a russian assassination attempt.)
Tumblr media
[ ✘ ] uncanny x-men (2019) #11
(natasha and bucky meet up with logan for a few panels. there’s a mutant hate rally ongoing, and the x-men are working to stop it.)
captain marvel (2019) #6
(a war of the realms issue that opens with a team-up of natasha and bucky. eventually, nat goes off to work with captain marvel, however.)
[ ✘ ] gwenpool strikes back (2019) #3
(gwenpool is doing weird shit, bucky is hanging out on the beach with steve in a few panels.)
[ ✘ ] marvel (2019)  #1000-1001
(a bunch of mostly disjointed one-page comics to celebrate marvel’s 80th, has a few cute pages with bucky)
[ ▶ ] unstoppable wasp: unlimited (2019) #7-10 
(read this whole series - #1-10 if you can; incredibly tender scenes with former red room trainee & forgiveness themes; lgbt youth & mental illness)
[ ✘ ] avengers: no road home (2019) #10
(the vision manifests bucky & many others to help aid in a fight. he’s seen in a few big battle panels.)
ruins of ravencroft: dracula (2020) #1
(related to the upcoming ravencroft event. in it, bucky narrates a previous run-in with the ravencroft institute. heavily features 40s kid bucky and cap fighting dracula and an american eugenics research program.)
alternate universes
Tumblr media
what if? (1977) #5
(this issue asks: what if captain america and bucky hadn’t died in wwii? in it, steve starts to age - and bucky takes on the mantle of captain america.)
[ ✘ ] what if? vol 2 (1991) #28
(this issue asks: what if erskine didn’t die, and there was an army of supersoldiers? unfortunately, it takes a very nick spencer-esque approach and turns steve rogers into a racist, fascist, eugenicist president. bucky features in a very minor role - he never goes to battle because he isn’t a supersoldier. skip this one.)
[ ✘ ] what if? vol 2 (1998) #105
(bucky is not in the main story here, just in a small doodle on the fan letters page. there’s a mini two-panel ‘story’ that asks: what if bucky hadn’t died in wwii, and came back to fight alongside steve as an old man?)
[ ✘ ] what if? (2005) #1
(what if captain america was in the civil war instead of wwii? this introduces an evil, ‘white skull’ bucky barnes. it also features some pretty grotesque appropriate of indigenous customs and other assorted racisms and bastardizes bucky’s key personality traits. skip it.)
[ ✘ ] what if: house of m (2008) #1
(what if the scarlet witch said ‘no more powers’ instead of ‘mutants’? bucky appears in just a few quick panels.)
civil war: house of m (2008) #1-5
(confusingly, has nothing to do with civil war. this is a “house of m” alternative universe where bucky is sent to kill magneto.)
[ ✘ ] what if: world war hulk (2009) #1
(what if the heroes lost world war hulk? briefly features winter soldier bucky barnes, who dies.)
what if: secret invasion (2010) #1
(what if the skrulls won the secret invasion? bucky!cap is a part of a resistance team, and kills norman osborn.)
what if wolverine: father (2010) #1
(what if logan found the winter soldier killing his wife, and got to raise his son daken? bucky dies in the beginning of this one, for obvious reasons.)
what if? dark reign (2010) #1
(what if clint barton succeeded at killing norman osborn? bucky!cap, bobbi, and spider-man hunt down clint, hoping they get to him before the rest of the world does.)
[ ✘ ] what if? (2011) #200
(what if norman osborn won the siege of asgard? sentry decapitates steve rogers/cap in front of bucky!cap.)
Tumblr media
[ ▶ ] planet hulk: warzones (2015) #1-5
(au of implied stevebucky, where they are beefy gladiator-type warriors)
[ ▶ ] battleworld: runaways (2015) #1-4
(a moody teen!bucky alternate universe.)
[ ✘ ] 1872 (2015) #1-4
(in this western alternate universe, bucky barnes was sheriff steve rogers’s deputy & the wife of natasha. he is only depicted once, in a photograph.)
[ ✘ ] a-force (2016) #5
(features a brief but cute cameo where bucky is called a heroine.)
1602 witch hunter angela (2015) #1
(in this battleworlds alternate universe, witchhunters angela and serah [a wlw couple] hunt down and kill captain james barnes of clan buchanan, who transforms into a monster.)
Tumblr media
batman/captain america (1996) #1
(in the 40s, bucky and steve team up with batman and robin in this dc / marvel crossover comic. there’s some very cute stuff with bucky and robin.)
[ ✘ ] the ultimates (2002) #1-13
(frankly, i hate this because everyone is an asshole. there’s a whole lot of things set in this universe if you seek them out. bucky didn’t tragically “die” in the 40s and instead marries steve’s fiance and grows old with her.)
wolverine (2003) #66-74
(most of these issues are from the ‘old man logan’ run, and feature bucky!cap in a few panels.)
old man hawkeye (2018) #6-8
(bucky features as the winter soldier with glowing red eyes - after the events shown in the old man logan flashbacks. he’s put on a mission for the bad guys, and then dies.)
[ ✘ ] bullet points (2006) #1-6
(a ‘what if’ dr. erskine died before giving steve the serum; steve becomes iron man; bucky has two small roles in this, but nothing too major)
[ ✘ ] marvel zombies vs the army of darkness (2007) #2
(there’s a zombified winter soldier featured on a single page, where he’s killed by ashley.)
marvel zombies destroy! (2015) #1-5
(in this one, bucky is a nazi zombie & member of the invaders. in the last issue, we see his demise.)
[ ✘ ] marvel apes (2008) #1-4
(a weird story where everyone is an ape and ape-cap and ape-bucky are vampires. skip it.)
[ ✘ ] marvel apes: amazing spider-monkey special (2009) #1
(spins out of the above ‘marvel apes’ story, and features a quick update on what happens to ape-bucky after the vampires are defeated.)
[ ✘ ] world war hulks: hulked-out heroes (2010) #2
(hulkpool, captain america, and 40s bucky briefly team-up in this issue.)
captain america corps (2011) #1-5
(takes place in the lead-up to bucky turning himself in in the brubaker issue #611. captain americas of the multiverse are going missing, and john walker, 40s cap, bucky cap, a sharon cap, and a future descendent of luke cage cap all team up.)
a-babies vs x-babies (2012) #1
(‘bucky bear’ features centrally, with great/cute art by gurihiru.)
rebecca “rikki” barnes / nomad
Tumblr media
captain america vol 2 (1996) #1-12
(heroes reborn era marvel, which was super unpopular for good reason. this introduces rebecca ‘rikki’/‘bucky’ barnes, the child of richard barnes and peggy carter barnes in a pocket universe created by franklin richards.)
[ ✘ ] heroes reborn the return (1997) #3-4
(rikki barnes says goodbye to cap/steve in this, as the heroes reborn era wraps up and the universe returns to normal.)
[ ✘ ] heroes reborn: young allies (2000) #1
(truly this is a mess and not worthwhile at all. in short, it’s an alternative universe version of the young allies, led by rikki barnes, with a hard to follow and bizarre plot.)
exiles vol 1 (2006) #81-82
(the pocket universe where rikki is from has been removed and placed in the 616-universe. rikki’s young allies and exiles team up to stop proteus from destroying the pocket planet.)
onslaught reborn (2007) #1-5
(onslaught, the villain involved in the creation of the pocket verse by franklin richards, returns in the wake of the genocide in house of m. in the pocket verse, rikki narrates the events leading to her death, which then draw her into a post-civil war/cap’s death 616.)
nomad: girl without a world (2009) #1-4
(rikki barnes takes on steve’s old title - nomad - and deals with the jarring move to a new reality. bucky!cap appears a few times in this one, too!)
captain america (2005) b-sides #600, #602-615
(pretty solid stuff - rikki barnes is acclimating to the 616 universe, and she teams up with anya corazon/spider-girl, patriot, steve rogers, & black widow.)

mcu-verse bucky
Tumblr media
[ ▶ ] captain america: first vengeance (2011) #1-8
(a captain america: the first avenger comic that shows a ton of extra content not in the movies, like bucky taking steve boxing & bucky meeting the howling commandos at azzano.) 
 [ ▶ ] captain america civil war prelude infinite (2016) #1
(a really beautiful short comic that shows the immediate fall-out of the final events of the winter soldier film.)
marvel’s avengers: infinity war prelude (2018) #1
(covers events immediately following civil war, including bucky’s move to wakanda.)
marvel’s black widow prelude (2020) #1
(comic that provides some background for natasha’s history in the lead-up to the black widow film. there’s a page that gives a brief overview of natasha and bucky’s mcu-verse relationship - which, notably, does not place him in the red room program.)
[ ✘ ] quick note: other prelude comics
(if you’re a big bucky fan, you might like to know that there are other prelude comics about the mcu films specifically. i’m not including them as must-reads because, unlike the others listed above, they add no new info - they are mostly line-by-line and scene-by-scene comic renderings of the films, which i found quite dull. if you’d like to seek them out, try captain america: the first avenger adaptation 2013, marvel’s avengers: civil war prelude 2015 #4 (catws adaptation), marvel's avengers infinity war prelude 2018, marvel’s avengers endgame prelude 2018.)

blink-and-you-miss-it appearances
Tumblr media
[ ✘ ]   quick note:
these are issues commonly included on others’ rec lists for bucky. everything in this section has bucky in the background / in a single panel / in some other inconsequential role that is easily looked over. none of these are worth reading specifically for bucky, unless noted otherwise.
[ ✘ ] deadpool (1997) #0 
(bucky is brought ‘back from the dead’ by arnim zola; he’s in about two quick panels. this issue suffers from 90s comics sexism and transphobia, tho.)
[ ✘ ] iron man vol 3 (1998) #73
(features in a single panel in a flashback as told by steve rogers.)  
[ ✘ ] deadpool (2002) #61
(from context, it seems that deadpool dies and then in some sort of afterlife finds bucky playing poker with abe lincoln, etc.)
[ ✘ ] mythos: captain america (2008) #1
(a short retelling of steve rogers’ origins with painting-like artwork and heavy-handed patriotism. features a few quick panels of baby bucky that are pretty cute.)
[ ✘ ]  secret invasion: front line (2008) #4-5
(story focuses on journalist ben urich during the secret invasion storyline. bucky!cap is in the background in two panels. skippable.)
[ ✘ ] the mighty avengers (2009) #29-31
(occurs after secret invasion and before siege. bucky!cap plays a small role in the battle scenes.)
[ ✘ ] new mutants (2009) #30
(set during dark reign event. in one quick panel, someone has a vision that bucky!cap gets his arm ripped off - see that panel here.)
[ ✘ ] timestorm 2099 (2009) #1-4
(bucky!cap is sort of in the background of a few panels. mostly focuses on spiderman and wolverine and some bizarre future stuff that was hard to follow. imo, skip it.)
[ ✘ ] fantastic four (2009) #569, #584, #588
(once again, while these feature bucky!cap in a few panels/background scenes, this isn’t vital and doesn’t add anything to his story.)
[ ✘ ] ms. marvel (2006) #41-42
(set near dark reign. another two quick panels of bucky!cap with his team, helping out during a battle. there’s a lot of this stuff, as you can see.)
[ ✘ ] incredible hulks (2010) #601, #606, #607, #609
(more bucky!cap saves the day… in the background. also nonessential. there’s a lot of hulks.)

(during & post-siege, with ben urich reporting. bucky!cap appears a few times in the background in battle.)
[ ⚑ / ✘ ] age of heroes (2010) #1
(post-siege, bucky!cap has a few quick cameos in this issue. introduces the heroic age ‘event.’)
[ ✘ ] new avengers vol 2 (2010) #1
(this issue sets up the next new avengers team, which bucky!cap will no longer be on - though he appears in the background once.)
[ ✘ ] heroic age: prince of power (2010) #1
(this focuses on amadeus cho. bucky!cap makes a single-panel background cameo. nonessential.)
[ ✘ ] x-men: legacy (2010) #236
(another brief appearance of bucky!cap coming to save the day with the other avengers.)
[ ✘ ] web of spider-man (2009) #8
(appears in a single panel with the other avengers as bucky!cap. irrelevant to the story.)
all-winners comics 70th anniversary special (2009) #1
(features a story about the all-winners squad, with jeff mace captain america and fred davis bucky – the replacements put in by the government after they disappeared. doesn’t truly feature our bucky except as a sort-of zombie/ghost.)

(bucky!cap features in a single panel in a meeting with iron man.)
[ ✘ ] all-winners squad: band of heroes (2011) #1-5
(in flashbacks, 40s sidekick bucky features in the background a few times with steve/cap. this story focuses on bringing the aged timely comics c-list characters back.)
[ ✘ ] herc (2011) #4
(bucky!cap appears in a single panel that is included to provide context to what else is happening in the 616 universe during the fear itself event. spoilers for that arc, but no new info here.)

frequently asked questions
Tumblr media
where/how can i read comics?
you can search for a local shop [here]. digital comics are also an option. i recommend [marvel unlimited], which you can pay $9.99/mo or $69/yr for almost all marvel comics older than 6 months.if you want to try an issue out before purchasing, there are also sites dedicated to pirating comics - getcomics and readcomiconline being the most popular - but if you can afford to pay, please do. 
there is a comic missing from this list! what gives?
i do have an ongoing list of possible bucky appearances mentioned by others that i haven’t vetted myself that you can find on [this google doc]. if not listed there, please feel free to send an ask and recommend with as much detail as possible (title, issue, year, volume, author, etc).  if i’ve read it and it isn’t listed here, it probably means that it doesn’t fit my own arbitrary criteria (in the background of a single distant panel, merely mentioned by another character, etc). 
i would like to know more about [x]…?
there’s a lot of cool resources for those types of questions. to find more comics about a certain character/event/etc that excites you, try googling “[name] comics reading order guide” or “[x] marvel wikia.“  these pages were really essential for me trying to figure this stuff out: - comic book herald guide to bucky barnes  - comic vine’s captain america: the definitive reading guide - marvel wikia’s james buchanan barnes (earth-616) extended history - wikipedia’s bucky barnes page - angela’s comic-bucky tumblr posts; bucky!cap guide - travis starnes’s bucky 616 appearances list
how are comics bucky and movie bucky different?
this is getting harder to answer, because newer writers keep retconing things to fit the movies. but for (most of) the comics above, the stories differ mostly in bucky’s timeline. for most authors, he meets steve for the first time at camp lehigh & doesn’t die by falling off a train, but on an exploding plane. he also does not kill tony’s parents as in the mcu. he is also generally a more well-developed character, by virtue of actually having lines in the comics.

ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING SHOWS ON TELEVISION BEGAN ON THIS DATE, JANUARY 14, 1952. ITS FIRST HOST DAVE GARROWAY AND I HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON BESIDES THE TODAY SHOW. WE BOTH OWE OUR LONG CAREERS ON THE PROGRAM TO A CHIMP: Back in 1952, my family’s television set was a heavy piece of furniture in the living room. In those days, that’s where most TVs sat: proud possessions to be polished, not moved. Unfortunately, everyone was in the kitchen eating breakfast when the TODAY show came on. So despite its many cutting-edge attractions, the show almost faded in my house, and in many others. Back then, watching morning television was considered somewhat decadent: Like dessert, TV was consumed after dinner. What changed all that was a baby chimp born two months to the day after the TODAY show premiered. A year later, he became Garroway’s co-host. Kids like me loved J. Fred Muggs so much we persuaded our parents to leave the kitchen and watch the show with us. They enjoyed what they saw and stayed, even after Muggs moved on.
During the long musical breaks TODAY took back then, my dad would talk about his day at the optical store he owned — the one he hoped I would someday run. My grandfather wanted me to follow him into law. Nearly everyone in the family worried about my poor choice of careers: I started at the St. Louis Zoo, as an announcer for the chimpanzee show. The Batman TV show was big that season, and trainers dressed one of the chimps, Little Pierre, like the Caped Crusader. The hairy little Batman entered high over the crowd on a wire between the announce booth and the stage. Unfortunately, a big chimp called Captain Bozo wanted to escape show biz, and the wire, which was permanent, provided a tempting escape route. So the show’s director gave me a rifle that fired tiny sponges and told me to shoot Bozo every time he came close to that wire. “You won’t hurt him,” he insisted, “but Bozo weighs 120 pounds. We can’t have him dropping on the kids.” So all summer long I annoyed the big chimp, popping him with the sponge gun. One day late in the season, my sound engineer and I were playing a hand of poker as the show progressed. We knew the routine so well by then that we didn’t have to look. “How ‘bout a big hand for him, boys and girls!” I shouted into the microphone, slapping down a card. Suddenly, the audience gasped. There was big ol’ Bozo, looking like King Kong, climbing the wire, halfway across the moat that separated the audience from the stage. I grabbed the sponge gun and leaned out of the announce booth. Pow! Pow! Pow! Bozo dropped into the water and the audience applauded, as if the popgun fire were part of the act. He bounced back on stage, unhurt, but I could picture the newspaper headline: “Zoo Announcer Shoots Beloved Chimp.”
That’s when I started my long life on the road. Some days it seems I have worked on the TODAY show since the earth was cooling, crisscrossing this country, 4 million miles, practically nonstop for 40 years, searching for people who are practically invisible, the ones who change our lives, but don’t take time to tweet and tell us about it. They may not run for president or go on talk shows, but without their contribution, the kind of country we love would not exist. These are people with thoughtful solutions to problems we all face, incredible ideas that work, blueprints for our dreams, ways to make America better. The country survives and thrives because of all these names we don’t know: ordinary people who live life with passion, who succeed not just on talent and hard work, but curiosity and imagination. I’ve spent my entire career coaxing such people in to the spotlight: The truck driver who taught microsurgery. The 14-year-old who invented television. The brothers who searched 60 years until they found what the Navy could not: their father’s lost submarine. Most reporters focus on our frustrations: the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, middle-class jobs moving to China and India, hate-filled politics that prefers gridlock to compromise. What we know about America mostly comes from journalists who travel in herds, trailing politicians or camped out at big stories, pouncing on problems to repeat over and over. For solutions they turn to celebrity experts: people who spend their busy days spouting opinions to cameras, while others in the shadows quietly make America work. Many of the people continually filling our newscasts know the business and its limitations better than the correspondents who cover them. If reporters are riding in a car and the right front tire goes flat, they hop out, glance at the tire, then start tweeting. Maybe they come back a few months later to lament that the tire is still flat. I became determined to examine all the tires; try to find out why some are still rolling. To do that, I had to stop chasing headlines. That’s why I decided to start sticking stories to an address list of long overlooked names, seeking drama and dimension in the lives of ordinary Americans. Thankfully, the folks who sign paychecks see some merit in that. They’ve put me in more motel rooms than the Gideon Bible. The TODAY show enables me to poke around in forgotten corners, tapping into people's hopes that their lives hold something of value. The full chronicle of this country is not in the news; it’s tucked away in our attics and basements waiting for someone to discover. Perhaps memories are more precious to those who have more of them: People who have been around a while begin to realize that memories matter. They are who we are. That’s why the TODAY show’s 65th anniversary is so special. The taste of gum lasts longer than most TV shows, but TODAY survives and thrives because here you can still discover the people who live the values our country cherishes: * The boss who came out of retirement to start a new company for his former employees who could not find work. * The band director who turned his back on celebrity to save lives in a tough neighborhood. * The man who used his lottery winnings to send all the kids in his neighborhood to college. In this time of rapid change, rediscovering the constant values that built what’s best about America helps us find our own way. I have spent my life seeking solutions from people who are seldom asked, shining a light in neglected corners, revealing answers that others rush past. Nearly 1,500 ordinary Americans have shared their insights with me, people who see what we all see, but think what no one else has thought. Wisdom doesn’t always wear a suit.
