In "The Death of the Dream," the aftermath of a shattered peace sends shockwaves through the Marvel Universe: Sin and her Serpent Squad free Crossbones from a S.H.I.E.L.D. subcarrier, forcing Tony Stark to confront a breach in security that defies explanation. As Black Widow hunts the Winter Soldier, Sharon Carter and the Falcon race to track the Red Skull, the lines between enemy and ally blur—especially in the mind of Aleksander Lukin, where a battle between his own conscience and the Red Skull’s influence rages unseen. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Steve Epting, with inks by Mike Perkins and colors by Frank D’Armata, this pivotal arc unfolds with tense precision, its cover by Steve Epting capturing the weight of a world on the brink.
In "The Death of the Dream," Captain America—once a symbol of hope—faces a harrowing turn as he surrenders to the Superhuman Registration Act, only to be assassinated on the courthouse steps during his transfer. The story captures the chilling moment when ideals are tested, and a hero’s final stand becomes a tragic turning point.
In "The Death of the Dream Part Four," the new Serpent Squad strikes a S.H.I.E.L.D. outpost, igniting a high-stakes pursuit that pulls Falcon and Sharon Carter into a shadowy conspiracy. As they close in on Red Skull, a far colder agenda unfolds—Winter Soldier moves in silence, driven by a personal reckoning that could reshape the war for Captain America’s legacy.
In the final chapter of a relentless pursuit, Winter Soldier closes in on Aleksander Lukin’s stronghold, unaware that the line between enemy and architect is thinner than he ever imagined. As Black Widow hunts the Winter Soldier and the Falcon tracks the Red Skull, Sin and her Serpent Squad unleash chaos from a S.H.I.E.L.D. subcarrier, leaving Tony Stark scrambling to piece together how the impossible happened. The truth lies buried in Lukin’s mind, where the Red Skull and his past collide — and where the past may not be dead at all.
In the final chapter of this gripping arc, Tony Stark races to uncover the truth behind Captain America’s murder, while Sharon Carter grapples with the life-changing news of her pregnancy. With the Winter Soldier captured and Red Skull’s forces closing in, Dr. Faustus pushes Sharon toward a deadly mission—targeting Falcon and Black Widow. The stakes rise as loyalties are tested and secrets unravel.
In "The Burden of Dreams: Part Two," Falcon and Widow push deep into Dr. Faustus’s R.A.I.D. stronghold, but as the assault unfolds, Winter Soldier breaks free from captivity—leaving Sharon Carter still ensnared in the Doctor’s control.
In "The Burden of Dreams: Part Three," Winter Soldier, newly escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, confronts Iron Man in a tense clash that forces him to reconsider the intentions of the heroes he once fought. With the truth about Lukin’s identity revealed, he and the Avengers face a pivotal choice: can Bucky, burdened by his past, step into Captain America’s legacy?
In "The Burden of Dreams: Part Four," Winter Soldier—now wearing the Captain America suit—teams up with Black Widow to dismantle a joint A.I.M. and R.A.I.D. operation, while Tony Stark races to expose the Red Skull’s control over Kronas Corporation. At the Skull’s command, Dr. Faustus activates a network of sleeper agents within S.H.I.E.L.D., turning the agency’s own against itself.
In "The Burden of Dreams: Part Five," the new Captain America struggles to hold the line as Dr. Faustus manipulates the crowd into chaos, testing the limits of his leadership. With Falcon and Black Widow racing to find Sharon before the Red Skull’s scientist Zola uncovers her secret, the clock is ticking on a revelation that could change everything.
In "The Man Who Bought America: Part Three," the 1950s Captain America reemerges to aid Senator Wright’s Third Party, drawing the curious attention of the Bucky Cap, who seeks to uncover the mysterious link between the old hero and the Red Skull’s Kronas company.
In "The Man Who Bought America: Part Six," Sharon’s desperate escape from the Red Skull sets off a chain of shocking revelations—Zola’s twisted experiment leaves her changed, while Cap’s victory over Sin earns him fleeting acclaim. But when Sharon fires the shot that seems to end the Skull, the truth is far more disturbing: the Red Skull’s mind now lives within a robotic vessel, and the 1950s Captain America drifts through New York, haunted and vengeful.
