I don't really think I agree with it, either in comicdom or in real life (if there were such things), but I can see the reasoning behind it and how it could create good stories. I just think it should have been given to the hands of a better writer (I haven't liked anything by Millar that I've read), and that editorial had done a better job of things- that they'd done a better job of making sure it kept to schedule, and not had as many slip-ups between different tie-ins. I'm against the sort of editorial directive that, IMO, led to the story as constructed (ie, pit Cap and Iron Man against one another, regardless of whether it would have been more in-character for them to be on the same side of the issue, among other things). However, given that it was essentially an editorial-driven event, I think there could have been a better effort to make sure there weren't conflicting stories.(Then again, what do I know?)If you want to know what Bucky (aka, the Winter Soldier) had to do with things:[sblock]He actually is the one responsible for catching the sniper, having been on hand to try and break Cap free of the law. He very nearly kills the sniper, too, who is one opponent that Cap has always had a tough time taking down himself.[/sblock]The same writer who brought Bucky back from the dead is the one writing the Cap death story that's going on, and he's gotten some flack in the past from some readers for his depiction of Bucky as having killed soldiers during the war. So he's not one to shy away from the type of story you suggest, I don't think.</blockquote>
