About this Collection
This Epic Collection gathers the early 2000s storyline that redefined Captain America's mythos, centering on Steve Rogers' confrontation with a resurrected Bucky Barnes—now the brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier. Written by Ed Brubaker, the volume collects Captain America (2004) #1-9 and #11-14, along with Captain America 65th Anniversary Special, as it explores Cold War secrets, the legacy of Bucky's apparent death, and the rise of the new Red Skull. It's a pivotal arc that reshaped the character's world and introduced a darker, espionage-driven tone to the series.
