Winter Soldier #19 – Review

By: Jason Latour (Writer), Nic Klein (Artist/Colorist)

The Story: Tesla Tarasova tries to erase her past by using her cosmic ray powers and the Tarasova tesseract as Bucky tries to reason with her.

The Review: This was an ending that we almost didn’t deserve. This sounds a bit harsh, sure, but with this title’s cancellation due to low sales, Jason Latour could have given us as cheap an ending he could have wanted, admitting defeat as James Buchanan Barnes story came to a close for a while. Instead, he gave us something that not only pay respect to the work Ed Brubaker did on him, but also to the whole Winter Soldier series.

Winter Soldier #17 – Review

By: Jason Latour (Writer), Nic Klein (Artist/Colorist)

The Story: Bucky gets to know a little bit more about his target, Tesla Tarasova, as he prepares to right his wrong with her.

The Review: Let me be very clear right off the bat on this one: this issue wasn’t as good as the others and it is due to several little facts. While this is a strong way to start of a review, let me clarify that this is by no mean a bad issue, but it is merely a rather weak one when compared to the previous two by the same creative team.
