Summary
Bucky Barnes, another man out of time, is the new Captain America now…but today he’s trapped in the past, because today is Bucky Barnes’ birthday. See Bucky’s favorite and least favorite birthdays – from the cold winters of the Depression on military bases, to the front lines of WW2 fighting alongside the Invaders, to his new mission as Cap. Oh yeah, and someone’s trying to kill him.

by Kevin Powers Comics Bulletin This issue does two things rather well that really move it away from "traditional filler" territory... This issue also serves as a pretty solid jumping on point for anyone who has been unwisely passing over this title.

And with issue #600 on the horizon, it looks like things will only get better for this brilliant series.

by Rob G. Weekly Comic Book Review A nice one and done tale. No fireworks. No dramatic revelations. Just another character study on Bucky, which I think is the main problem I have with this series of late: almost every issue is a character study on Bucky.
