The collection also features the introduction of U.S.Agent (Johnny Walker) as a replacement Captain America, along with appearances by Wolverine, Cable, and other X-Men characters like Cyclops and Bishop, as Cap navigates a conspiracy involving the villainous Viper and her plans for global domination.
In "Fear," Captain America brings Diamondback to a Wakandan hospital for treatment, while D-Man, captured by the enigmatic Night People, uncovers a disturbing truth: their leader, Brother Have-Not, drains the strength of those around him. Written by Mark Gruenwald and illustrated by Rik Levins, with inks by Danny Bulanadi, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Joe Rosen, this story blends political tension with personal vulnerability. The cover, penciled by Levins and inked by Don Hudson, captures the moment’s stark intensity.
In "Fear," Captain America faces a terrifying new threat when the Scarecrow, empowered by a shadowy organization known as The Firm, unleashes a brutal killing spree. With Stacy in danger and the police closing in on Ghost Rider, Steve Rogers must reluctantly join forces with the fiery vigilante, confronting not only the villain’s escalating terror but also the growing rift between justice and vengeance.
In "An Epic Adventure," Captain America is pulled through time in search of a missing Vision, landing in ancient Mesopotamia where he teams up with the legendary Gilgamesh and crosses paths with a young Sersi. The story blends myth and heroism as Steve Rogers navigates a world far removed from his own, facing challenges that test both his resolve and his place in history.
In "Disguise the Limit," Cap takes on the identity of Crossbones to infiltrate a brutal underground arena where he must battle a series of supervillains—each more dangerous than the last—until his true identity is exposed. As the stakes rise, he’s forced to face a relentless wave of enemies, while Diamondback, operating as Mother Night, pursues Snapdragon with a mission of her own.
In "Hostile Takeover!" from Captain America Epic Collection #19, Steve Rogers finds himself outnumbered and outgunned on AIM Island, facing off against a rogues' gallery of supervillains in a high-stakes battle for control. Meanwhile, Diamondback confronts Snapdragon in a long-awaited showdown that promises to settle their rivalry once and for all.
In "Escape From A.I.M. Isle," Captain America and his allies make a desperate break from the treacherous shores of Boca Caliente, a hotspot overrun by A.I.M. operatives, only to find that Wakanda—meant to be sanctuary—holds its own urgent crisis. The journey from danger to uncertain refuge unfolds with relentless pace, testing loyalty and resolve in a world where no place is truly safe.
In "To Have and to Have Not," Cap brings Diamondback to a Wakandan hospital for recovery, while D-Man, imprisoned by the Night People, uncovers a disturbing truth: their leader, Brother Have-Not, drains the strength of those around him.
In "Television Blind," Silver Sable and Captain America close in on Viper—only for her to slip away through cunning and the Red Skull’s interference. Now free, she turns her twisted plan toward the world’s screens, aiming to blind everyone through the very technology meant to inform.
In "Field of Angels," U.S. Agent follows a trail of violence to uncover the true mind behind the Scourge network, a shocking revelation that ties the terrorist group to a forgotten legend—once a hero, now a shadow in the past. As the investigation unfolds, the past and present collide in a hunt that forces the agent to confront the legacy of a fallen icon.
