The Captain America we need

It is a strong opinion of mine that Ed Brubaker needs to write the Death of Bucky Barnes one-shot.  That is to say, a filler issue, set between The pages of Fear Itself covering Bucky being killed by Sin, and Steve needing to pick up the mantle.  This story beat was glossed over and deserves a far superior introspection on the event.  Hell, I'd even take an issue that is just the funeral for Bucky Barnes, flashing back over the event.  But I need some kind of conclusion on the character from Ed.  I need it.  Ed is the scribe for Cap now.  It honestly never feels quite right unless he is writing Bucky or Steve.  I need the conclusion for one major reason:  Captain America Omnibus vol 4.  The end of Gulag doesn't quite feel right as a grand ending for this story.  This missing chapter is needed to close out the fourth volume in a meaningful way.  Not a way that says go read this book by this other guy.  And don't get me wrong, I think Matt Fraction is doing a good job on Fear Itself, but he dropped the ball on this.  It's time for Ed, like Steve, to pick up that shield and write  the ending we deserve for Bucky's story.  I know it isn't the end.  He'll  be back one day.  But right now?  Right now we need some kind of closure.
So please Ed, give me the best damn Death of Bucky Barnes one-shot possible.
