Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Jason Latour
Artist: Nic Klein
There was sad news that came with the July Solicitations, there will be no more Winter Soldier and June sees its final issue. So with this being the penultimate issue of the series I had high hopes and I was not dissapointed.
We are treated to another artistic masterclass from Nic Klein, who brings his best to yet another issue. Klein's art has been one of the true highlights alongside this engaging story from Latour.
This issue focuses more on the antagonist of this story arc than Winter Soldier himself. You finally learn more about the girl who witnessed the Winter Soldier murder her parents and how she became the woman she now is, Electric Ghost. Nic Klein masterfully draws her memories as she speaks with Winter Soldier about her past. This leads us to the end of the issue, with an unexpected twist, which can only lead to a fiery conclusion to this superb team's time with Winter Soldier.
I dropped this title three issues in to Ed Brubaker's run, after having high hopes for the character and really not enjoying it. Latour's Winter Solider is the Winter Solider I was hoping for and I will be so very sad to see this come to an end. The only positive is Marvel have confirmed that Latour and Klein will be moving to new books, but after proving to be such a formidable force I really hope they get a chance to collaborate on something again! And if you have not had a chance to check this out yet I strongly recommend you do when it is released.
