Captain America #13
In "Ice Part 2 of 5," Captain America confronts a chilling mystery as he shares his growing suspicions with Hana—that the U.S. government may have orchestrated his freezing decades ago, knowing he’d oppose the atomic bomb, and that his rescue by the Avengers could have been part of a larger design. With the truth buried beneath layers of secrecy, he faces a deadly trio of Lemurian assassins sent to silence him. Written by Chuck Austen and brought to life with striking visuals by Jae Lee and José Villarrubia, this issue blends espionage, identity, and moral reckoning, with John Cassaday’s intense cover capturing the tension.
