You would think that being in the middle of production on Disney+'s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier would keep Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier) and Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson aka Falcon) on set and in action 24/7 – especially if the series wants to hit it's Fall 2020 debut window. It's understandable: […]
At Bleeding Cool, we've made it our mission to chronicle the lead-up to and the aftermath of "The Great Streaming Wars of 2020" so that future societies can learn from our greatest triumphs and tragic failures. Over at "House Mouse", the Disney+ streaming service has entered the fray – and they're doing it on the […]

The figures come with multiple interchangeable parts, including hands and faceplates, a Wakanda base, and a ton of weaponry. Not cheap at $80, but look at how crazy cute this thing is! This one can be […]
In the previous issue of Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes confronted the deadbeat father of RJ after learning that RJ may have been working with Hydra to bring his son back under their control. RJ, a petty criminal, tried to throw a punch, and he ended up slipping and breaking his neck. Obviously, this isn't going […]

Welcome to Figure History Thursday! Every Thursday, we will be going over the history of a character's toy history, with a focus on action figures. Some characters have many toys made in their image, some only a few. Us collectors like to have them all, but sometimes it can be hard to know what is […]
Bucky Barnes, formally the Winter Soldier, then the White Wolf, and now a pile of ash in the wind, is the latest figure form Avengers: Infinity War to be released by Hot Toys. Featuring a tailored outfit, two left arms (metal or turning to ash), interchangeable hands, a machine gun, a dagger, and a figure […]
Bucky Barnes is returning in his own 5-issue mini-series this holiday season from the superstar creative team of Kyle Higgins and Rod Reis. Marvel revealed the news in a press release, which starts off pretty presumptuously: You know his name. You know the things he's done. What if this is our first time reading a […]
Sebastian Stan has lived with the character of Bucky Barnes since Captain America: The First Avenger film in 2011, eventually becoming The Winter Soldier. With that evolution came one of the signature pieces of MCU tech/weapons/costumes, Winter Soldier's arm. Is an MCU hero/villain 'only as good as his (or her) weapon', or is the object merely an […]
Infinity War is now available to watch on digital platforms in the comfort of your own home, and now Funko has announced their second wave of Pops in support of the film. Way smaller than that initial wave, this one will contain five new Pops, and no exclusives! Well, almost. There is one. All five […]

Back in the States, an armed terrorist group modeled after Nuke attacks in Washington D.C. Captain America and the Winter Soldier answer this threat, saving as many lives as they can. However, even […]
The Exiles land on a world full of less-than-happy sentient dinosaurs before arriving on another psychedelic world with a pair of surprisingly familiar faces. After this detour, they arrive on an Earth still experiencing World War II, and Peggy Carter is Captain America with her partner, Becky. The Red Skull is enacting his final gambit […]
Black Widow is commended and made a leader of this iteration of the Red Room for her apparent assassination of both Hawkeye and the Winter Soldier. Of course, both Clint and Bucky have survived and, after escaping the safe room they were left trapped within, return to their hunt for Natasha. However, Black Widow has […]
"Where will you be when it all ends?" asks the new Avengers: Infinity War TV spot entitled 'Chant'. The name comes, presumably, from the scene on the fields of Wakanda where an unmasked T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) lets out a war cry in Wakandan echoed by the armies of the mythical nation. In the background you can see the […]
Black Widow is still alive. She's working for the Red Room again. How did this happen? What has she been doing? What does this have to do with the resurfacing of Yelena Belova and the other mysterious events happening around the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye? Tales of Suspense #103 departs from following Hawkeye and Winter Soldier […]
Tales of Suspense #102 kicks off with the Winter Solider and Hawkeye taking former Black Widow Yelena Belova back to her apartment for interrogation. Once the questioning proves unfruitful, they tail her to her next location. Things don't go as planned, though. Clint and Bucky must chase down other leads to discover if Natasha Romanoff […]
Tales of Suspense #101 opens with the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye narrowly survive an explosion. Clint thinks it was the work of the Black Widow. Bucky doesn't believe it. The two return to New York and link up with an old S.H.I.E.L.D contact who verifies that there is another player in the spy game taking […]
Clint Barton is following a ghost. Former Hydra agents and generally bad people have wound up dead. The kills and the targets point to one person: Natasha Romanova, aka the Black Widow. As is the Hawkeye way, this has led Clint into trouble. He's run afoul of those same bad people and wound up in […]
On August 28th, 1917, Jacob Kurtzberg was born in Manhattan. He was born to a pair of Austrian Jewish immigrants. He took to drawing quickly, starting in comic strips in 1936, and, in 1940, he teamed up with Joe Simon to create Captain America and Bucky Barnes. It's weird to think that a man born […]
Jim Zub, Jon Malin, and Matt Yackey's Thunderbolts is one of the best comics to come out in recent years. There, I said it. It's the truth. Here we have a comic that perfectly balanced character and action, perfectly understood the characters and the spirit of the team, and had some of the most endearing […]
