Writer Ales Kot and artist Marco Rudy will collaborate on the Captain America spinoff.
"Bucky Barnes has undergone self-numbing amounts of traumatic experiences," Kot told AV Club . "He killed for the Soviets. He killed for Americans.
"He had people taken away from him by rather brutal means. He had his mind wiped out. Repeatedly. To top that, he's hyper-competent when it comes to hurting people and he barely had a childhood.
"So: a lot of damage. A lot of carefully developed survival mechanisms. The thing about them, though? They might have been important once, but now - well, many of them might be no longer necessary. Bucky is entering a completely new phase of his life and it is a deeply expansive one."
He continued: "Shedding the old and embracing the new is the core of the character and the series - travelling across galaxies as a very capable and damaged ex-mercenary, having experiences you can't fit into your established worldview, changing in the process.
"What is to be embraced? What is to be released? And what is left of the being underneath?"

Kot will continue to expand the themes of espionage he has explored in his Image Comics series Zero and Marvel's Secret Avengers.
Meanwhile, Rudy's credits include Swamp Thing and the recent New Avengers Annual #1.
Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #1 will be released in October.
