STAFF PICKS :: WINTER SOLDIER VOL. 4 TPB :: AUGUST 7, 2013
SETH’S PICK :: WINTER SOLDIER VOL. 4 TPB: After writing and drawing books for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Vertigo, and 12 Gauge, our friend and neighbor Jason Latour landed the task of taking over writing duties for Ed Brubaker on Winter Soldier. Alongside artist Nic Klein, Latour offered a smart and funny take on the man formerly known as Bucky. The pair also introduced memorable new cast members like Robards and Electric Ghost, both of whom further defined the Winter Soldier and his world. Latour and Klein’s run received due acclaim, and though the series was ultimately cancelled (you know Marvel will relaunch it closer to the next Cap movie), their work was a fine addition to the character’s storied history. This collection gives you an idea of what can happen when like minded creators get paired on a book that makes perfect sense for them to collaborate on. It’s also, more importantly, an example of good and entertaining comics.
I am at the point where I will read any book that Latour writes or draws sight unseen. The man is a talent!!!
