It covers Steve Rogers' return to the modern world, his partnership with the newly introduced Rick Jones, and his battles against classic foes like the Red Skull, Baron Zemo, and MODOK.

In this landmark issue from the 2024 Captain America Omnibus #1 (Third Edition), Steve Rogers faces a chilling new threat when he intercepts a downed pilot linked to A.I.M. and learns of the Cosmic Cube’s theft by the Red Skull. With help from an experimental SHIELD missile and a remote camera feed, Cap pursues the captured Keeper to a remote island, where a brutal confrontation unfolds—one that forces him to confront the painful truth behind Bucky’s fate. Written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, with art by Jolly Jack and Frank Giacoia, and a striking cover by Ron Garney and Jason Keith, this story remains a cornerstone of the character’s legacy.
In a quiet moment at Avengers Mansion, Captain America reflects on Bucky’s uncertain path while fending off a gang of costumed thieves who underestimate him—until he proves just how wrong they are. With a mix of precision and quiet resolve, he takes them down one by one, leaving only a wry remark about how lucky they were their partners weren’t there to see it.
In a secret lab during wartime, Steve Rogers—rejected by the army and desperate to serve—becomes the first Super-Soldier through Dr. Erskine’s groundbreaking serum. When a Nazi spy assassinates the scientist and is destroyed by machinery, Rogers emerges as Captain America, a symbol of hope and resistance. As he takes on enemy agents and espionage networks, his secret identity is soon uncovered by Bucky, who joins him as a partner in the fight.
In "Among Us, Wreckers Dwell!", Captain America and Bucky are drawn into a deadly game of deception when Sando, a Nazi agent disguised as part of a stage act with the seemingly harmless Omar, unleashes mind-bending illusions designed to sabotage Allied operations. With reality itself twisted by psychological warfare, the heroes must uncover the truth before the enemy’s scheme brings chaos to the front lines.
In "The Red Skull Strikes!" from Captain America Omnibus #1 [Third Edition], Cap and Bucky close in on a man claiming to be the Red Skull—only to find he’s a clever imposter posing as billionaire Maxon. The real Red Skull, hidden in plain sight, is using the fake Skull to orchestrate a scheme from the shadows.
In "The Sleeper Shall Awake!", Captain America confronts a chilling legacy of the past when he tracks down the Sleepers—agents dormant for two decades, programmed by the Red Skull to awaken and activate the Sleeper robots. With time running short and the threat of a long-buried war reigniting, Steve Rogers must face the echoes of his greatest enemy, one that never truly slept.
In a tense moment during his training, Captain America is pulled into a shadowy mystery when Nick Fury arrives with urgent intel on the clandestine group known as THEM. When a flying craft descends on Avengers Mansion and unleashes an android assault, Captain America fights back—only to learn the enemy is part of a vast, hidden network cultivating a legion of machines in a secret hydroponic lab. Though Fury insists the matter is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s to handle, he leaves Captain America with a Priority A-1 badge, hinting at a future collaboration.
In "The Red Skull Lives!" from Captain America Omnibus #1 [Third Edition], Cap intercepts a downed pilot linked to A.I.M. and learns the organization is transporting the Cosmic Cube to the Red Skull—only to be pursued through the skies by an experimental SHIELD missile. As the battle rages mid-air and the pilot ejects, Cap and his enemy crash onto a remote island, where the Red Skull taunts him with a devastating revelation: he was the one who ordered the mission that led to Bucky’s death. With the Cube now in his grasp, the Red Skull unleashes a power that defies reality—leaving Cap to face an enemy who may no longer be bound by the rules of this world.
In "He Who Holds the Cosmic Cube," Captain America races to save a downed pilot, only to uncover a shocking betrayal—his rescuer is an A.I.M. agent who reveals the existence of the stolen Cosmic Cube. Chasing the Cube’s keeper to a remote island, Cap faces a desperate showdown as the man’s final act sends them both plummeting to the ground, where the Red Skull awaits with a devastating truth: he was the one who ordered the mission that cost Bucky his life.
In "The Red Skull Supreme!", Captain America faces an almost insurmountable foe when the Red Skull wields the Cosmic Cube, bending reality to his will. Trapped on a crumbling island and outmatched at every turn, Cap devises a desperate plan—pretending to submit, only to strike when the Skull’s arrogance blinds him. With the island splitting apart beneath them, Cap makes a final, desperate move to seal the Cube’s fate in the ocean’s depths.
In "...And Men Shall Call Him Traitor!," Captain America escapes the Red Skull’s deadly trap—only to face a nightmare: the Skull is lifting Manhattan into the sky. With time running out, Cap must make an impossible choice: pledge allegiance to his enemy for one day to save the island, or let millions fall.
In "No Longer Alone!", Cap and Rick find themselves facing a rampaging Hulk in the heart of New York City, sparking a tense debate over risk and responsibility. When Rick claims Bucky Barnes' old uniform and steps into the role of Cap's new partner, the two must quickly unite against a HYDRA plot to poison the city's water supply.
In "Tomorrow You Live, Tonight I Die!", Cap is ambushed by HYDRA assassins under Madame Hydra’s orders, setting off a chain of betrayals and deception. When Rick Jones stumbles upon a hidden message meant for Cap, his mind begins to unravel—just as Cap, hunted and isolated, races to find him amid a deadly Hydra trap. The story unfolds with tense, high-stakes urgency, as loyalty is tested and identity becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.
In "The Strange Death of Captain America," the world mourns Steve Rogers after a shocking news report declares him dead—only to learn his identity was a lie all along. As the Avengers, Nick Fury, and Sharon Carter gather for a somber wake, HYDRA strikes, but just as Rick is cornered at the cemetery, Captain America rides in on a motorcycle, very much alive. The story unfolds with a tense confrontation, a surprise reveal, and a mission to uncover the truth behind the deception.
