Captain America Modern Era Epic Collection #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of the Captain America Modern Era Epic Collection picks up the shield in the wake of the Winter Soldier's return, collecting the storyline that redefines Steve Rogers' world. The Burden Of Dreams covers the fallout of Bucky's resurrection, the rise of the new Red Skull, and the machinations of Aleksander Lukin, as Cap grapples with a past that refuses to stay buried. Featuring key appearances by Sharon Carter, the Falcon, and the Black Widow, this collection is a cornerstone of Ed Brubaker's acclaimed run on the character.
In "The Death of the Dream: Act 2 The Burden of Dreams: Part One," Steve Epting and Ed Brubaker deliver a gripping chapter of Captain America’s modern era, where Sharon’s desperate escape from the Red Skull’s grasp sets off a chain of revelations—Zola’s twisted experiments, a shocking deception, and the haunting presence of a 1950s Cap wandering a world he no longer recognizes. With Steve Epting’s evocative pencils and inks shaping the emotional weight of the story, and Frank D’Armata’s colors grounding its shifting tones, this issue deepens the mystery of identity, legacy, and the cost of heroism. The cover by Steve Epting captures the tension perfectly, a stark portrait of a man caught between past and present.

Sharon escapes from the Red Skull's hands, but not before Zola makes her a part of some sick experiment. Cap takes out Sin and welcomed as a hero by the public. In her escape, Sharon shoots and apparently kills the Skull. But it is only Lukin she kills, as Zola has transplanted the Red Skull's consciousness into one of his (Zola's) robotic bodies. Oh, and the 1950s Cap wanders the streets of New York, hoping for his revenge against the sinful world.
