_________________________ From the Mouths of the Marvels:"No, I didn't show him the file. I want to be one-hundred percent sure about
this before I destroy his world...” -- Nick Fury, about Cap, from Captain America #5 _________________________
(Click panels for larger images.) _________________________ Featured Characters:
A midnight call to duty brings Captain America aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier to identify the corpse of his most feared adversary: the Red Skull! The shocking murder of Cap's oldest enemy may not be the end of the Skull's plans, however, because whoever shot the Skull has stolen his final project: an unfinished Comsic Cube with the potential
power to alter reality itself. Adding to the imminent danger, a cadre of the Skull's
followers has already set in motion a plan to ignite bombs in the hearts of Paris,
London and Manhattan- causing untold death and destruction. Racing against these bombs'
rapidly ticking clocks, the Star-Spangled Avengers must not only solve the mystery
of his nemesis' murder, but find the Cube before it can be used in the Red Skull's
malevolent plot against the United States.
A classic Marvel Comics icon, Captain America has represented the American dream of
truth, liberty and justice for more than six decades. Even after the tragic events
of Avengers Disassembled, Captain America remains steadfast in his gols of preserving
freedom at home and around the world. In this bold new series, writer Ed Brubaker enmeshes
the hero in a taut thriller ripped from today's headlines of political intrigue and
terrorist threats to democracy. | Captain America Vol. 1: Winter Soldier Reprints: Captain America (Vol. 5) #1-7 List price: $21.99 (US) • $35.25 (Canada)
