[quote=« Jason Latour »] WINTER SOLDIER’S END
On the cancellation of WINTER SOLDIER with issue #19:
Well, I won’t lie, after spending the last 9 months or so living in Bucky Barnes’s skin, I’m a little heart broken. He’s grown to be a very special character to me, maybe my favorite Marvel character ever, and I felt I could’ve written his story for years. The opportunity to do so came at a very trying time in my life and really helped me through some tough stuff, so in it’s way it’s very personal work. I hope that shows.
That said though, really, enough cryin’ in my beer. I’m VERY grateful to everyone involved with the book all along the line for making it such a worthwhile experience. First among them, Nic Klein, for being such a tremendous collaborator and corroborator. He really summoned up the power of whatever Dark Pagan God he worships for this series, and though his soul may be damned, it was worth it for comics y’all. I’m no less thankful to our editors and the production folks, chiefly Lauren Sankovitch for having the steely nerves of a riverboat gambler, and giving us all the support any team could ask for. But maybe most of all I’m in the debt of the special community of fans who stuck with us and showed us such big slobbery love through out. I know it was hard losing folks as revered and talented as Brubaker and company, but thank you for giving us a real shot.
Comics can be a hard business. There are macro-scale factors involved in decisions like this that sometimes have nothing to do with what’s actually going on in the book. I was never under any illusion that this gig wouldn’t be an uphill battle in every regard. Nic and I had some tremendous shoes to fill and we both knew we were up against it from the start. But it was a challenge we welcomed, and even with this news I consider what we’ve done to be a real success. I’m thrilled that the bulk of the people who’ve stuck around or have tried the book in our run seem to have enjoyed our story as much as we’ve enjoyed telling it. My hope is that the next two issues give y’all the big explosive send off Bucky’s first series deserves and that I’ll be playing in his muddy little sandbox again. Hopefully much sooner than later.
More soon… [/quote]

On the cancellation of WINTER SOLDIER after issue #19:
Like Jason Latour wrote on his blog ( jasonlatour.blogspot.de/2013/04/ … s-end.html ), I am also a little heart broken to see the book go. If the occasion had arisen I would’ve liked to continue drawing Bucky as he and the supporting cast really started to grow close to me. Perhaps another time.
I’m not going to complain, I got to draw really cool Characters and really cool settings. I got to work with a really great team, Jason Latour, the jive talkin southern redneck genius who besides being a great scribe is also fantastic artist as many of you know. It was pleasure to work with him and we had a great time talking shop on a few occasions. Our editorial team consisting first and foremost of Lauren Sankovitch, and Jacob Thomas who held the reins steady and left us enough free room to unfold our craziness. Declan Shalvey & Jordie Bellaire who provided gorgeous covers.
Thank you to all of you.
AND
of course Thank you to the readers and Fans who supported the book and gave us a chance to tell our tale. I hope you all enjoyed the last 3 issues, and I hope you will stick around for the last 2 issues to see the conclusion of the arc.
Jason and I really appreciated the feedback we received from you through out!!
Since I’m not a man of many words, I wanted to post this piece I did, as a sort of parting gift (even though I am still drawing the last issue). I hope you all enjoy it.
thank you
