by Ed Brubaker

Brand-new introduction by author Ed Brubaker Brand-new foreword by Academy Award-nominated actor Sebastian Stan Presented in a newly designed book-format edition Sebastian Stan returns as the Winter Soldier in Thunderbolts*, in theaters May 2, 2025
Eisner Award-Winning writer Ed Brubaker (Daredevil, Criminal) delivers a high-stakes, espionage-laden thriller in this classic story that reshaped the legacy of Captain America and left a lasting impact on the Marvel Universe.

Writer Ed Brubaker pushes the Captain America mythos headlong into the future with high adventure and full-throttle action. For more than fifty years, the Soviets employed an undercover agent — an unstoppable, untraceable killer known as the Winter Soldier — to assassinate key political figures in the West. His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s one-time partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War II. Now the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin — who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin’s reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube — only to find himself face-to-face with the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after finally learning the astonishing truth?
