Tom, I've heard that you were initially opposed to Ed Brubaker bringing Bucky back to life. Nearly ten years later, do you still think it was the right move? Just as the Uncle Ben tragedy is integral to Spider-Man's foundation, doesn't Steve Rogers lose a lot of his pathos by removing the tragedy of Bucky Barnes' death?

I’m fine with it, actually, as Ed was able to answer all of my questions and objections and make them all part of the story. I don’t think that Cap loses any of his pathos by bringing Bucky into the present day–there are still dozens of people that he knew from that era who are lost to him forever. And there’s also the point that, with the passing of time, World War II gets further and further away from the present day, and so the notion of Cap waking up from the ice and expecting Bucky to still be alive and hale and hearty becomes more ridiculous. On the other hand, in the Winter Soldier we gained a new character that most Marvel fans seem to have accepted and enjoy–there was a bit of an outcry when the time came for him to step out of the role of Captain America.
