I've wanted to write something based on Bullet Points ever since I read it. Sometimes I wonder why I never did and take my vague idea to the wiki, and then I remember: the Timelne Issue(TM).

The way it's written, the timeline of Bullet Points feels like it can be easily handwaved. Keep the order of events and character ages largely intact, and you'll be fine. This is a valid approach. The more sane one probably too.

However, it always felt to me as if the author (Straczynski) and the artist (Edwards) had a plan that maybe didn't have a year on every event but still an idea how the story interacts and coincides with the history of the 20th century. 

So, I made an attempt at putting that into a graphic. (I may make another post about the details that let me to those conclusions, but for today I'm beat.)

A timeline of the events of Bullet Points

Let me know if I missed anything obvious or if there is anything else of note. (I'm also always happy to talk about Bullet Points.)

This is entry number three in the series of resources about Bucky in the 616 comic universe.

In this one, I want to point out some differences I see between the MCU and Bucky’s comics origins (as shown in Brubaker’s 2004 Captain America run). If you have been familiar with the movies before the comics as a lot of people have (me included), some of it settles as the default in your mind. If you switch to comics, those defaults aren’t always the same, and this should serve as a reminder or a jumping-off point for those differences to the 616 universe.

MCU vs 616. Fight! )

This is the second resource entry I prepared from my notes on the Winter Soldier arc. It gathers Bucky related facts from the issues, including dates, abilities and so on.
For a summary of the arc (Captain America (2004) #1-14) here.

This is a very broad summary of the first 14 issues of the Captain America (2004) run (minus #10 which isn't part of the storyline) with a focus on Bucky. The Brubaker run is also a very good read if you like Steve and has a lot of consequences for him, but I won't be going into that.

I've been rereading the beginning of the Brubaker Captain America run after a plotbunny bit me. Meanwhile, the plotbunny has taken a backseat, and I've decided to close some gaps in my comic reading before the next one comes along. Namely, Bucky's comics appearances (post Winter Soldier that is, Cap V1 is fun in a weird way but I can only read one or two at a time).

And if I'm doing that already and taking notes, because my brain is a sieve, I can also clean those notes up a bit and share them here. Which also gives me finally something to do with this space.

Let's see how far I get before I get caught up in another comic rabbit hole...
