About this Collection

This collection brings together the pivotal storyline that reshaped the Marvel Universe, following the shocking assassination of Steve Rogers and the immediate fallout as Bucky Barnes takes up the shield and mantle of Captain America. Spanning the aftermath of the event, the volume includes the hunt for the Red Skull's conspiracy, the rise of a new Captain America, and the debut of the new Crossbones, all written by Ed Brubaker with art by Steve Epting and others. It collects issues from Captain America (2005) #25-42 and the Winter Soldier: Winter Kills one-shot, forming a complete narrative arc from the death of Steve Rogers to the emergence of a new era for the star-spangled Avenger.

In "Plausible Deniability," the Skull emerges from the twisted hellscape of the Cosmic Cube, now a valet in a decadent hotel where the world's worst have been exiled. After a deadly clash with Captain America within the Cube’s warped reality, he seizes a chance to break free—only to find the real world waiting, colder and more dangerous than he remembers. Written by Mark Waid and Ralph Macchio, with bold art by Andy Kubert and inks by Jesse Delperdang, this issue blends psychological tension with high-stakes action, all wrapped in a striking cover by Kubert and Delperdang.
