Yes! A Winter Soldier topic! I've been fairly well obsessed with the character for a little over a year now but rarely get to talk about him outside of family, and I'm sure they're sick of hearing about how much I love Bucky.
Have you read any of the comics that lead up to the series?
I haven't. I'm kind of new to the non-Wolverine family side of Marvel. I started reading the new Marvel NOW and loved Captain America. So if you would like to tell me which issues I need to read to get the whole story, please tell me. I would definitely go out and get them.

Well, I haven't completely caught up with the storyline myself, but this is what I've read so far:
Captain America vol. 1: Winter Soldier ultimate collection
Captain America Vol. 2: The Red Menace
The Death of Captain America Complete Collection
You could probably skip Red Menace if you wanted because Winter Soldier isn't in it too much but I thought it was a really good story all the same. There's also at least a couple of volumes of Captain America after the "Death of" storyline that feature BuckyCap but I haven't read those yet so I couldn't speak to how essential they are. And if you're at all interested in reading about Steve and Bucky back in the WW2 days, there's lots of material for that as well.
