Winter Soldier #3

In "The Longest Winter Part 3," Bucky Barnes—still grappling with his past as the Winter Soldier—finds himself allied with the enigmatic and dangerous Doctor Doom, while Natasha Romanoff stands at his side. Meanwhile, Red Ghost, von Bardas, and Dmitri conspire with a relic from Doom’s history to strike at the world’s freedoms. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Butch Guice, with inks by Stefano Gaudiano, Brian Thies, and Guice, and colors by Bettie Breitweiser and Jordie Bellaire, this 2012 issue delivers a tense, morally complex chapter. The cover, by Lee Bermejo, captures the storm of conflict in sharp, haunting detail.
