Captain America #3
In "Ice Part 1 of 5," Captain America confronts a chilling mystery as he shares with Hana his growing suspicion that the U.S. government may have orchestrated his long freeze—knowing he'd oppose the atomic bomb—raising questions about whether his revival by the Avengers was also part of a larger design. With three Lemurian assassins sent to silence him, Cap must defend himself in a tense, high-stakes confrontation. Written by Chuck Austen and brought to life with striking visuals by Jae Lee and José Villarrubia, the issue's bold cover by John Cassaday sets the tone for a story that dives deep into legacy, trust, and the cost of duty.
