It's a comprehensive look at one of comics' greatest rivalries, showcasing the Skull's enduring threat and Cap's unwavering resolve.
In "The Riddle of the Red Skull," Captain America races to stop the Red Skull from claiming the Cosmic Cube, chasing a downed pilot and a mind-controlled A.I.M. agent to a remote island. With Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Stan Lee’s sharp storytelling, this 2011 showdown pits Cap against a foe who weaponizes guilt, revealing a devastating truth about Bucky’s fate. The cover by Kirby and Zeck, inked by Heck and Beatty, captures the intensity of the clash.
In "The Red Skull Lives!" from Captain America vs. the Red Skull #10 (2011), Captain America races to save a downed pilot linked to A.I.M., only to uncover a dangerous plot involving the Cosmic Cube and the long-dead Red Skull. With SHIELD's experimental missile and a remote camera’s eye, Cap pursues the pilot—now a pawn—across the skies, landing on a remote island where the Red Skull’s chilling revelation shakes him to the core.
In "He Who Holds the Cosmic Cube," Captain America races to stop a stolen artifact of unimaginable power, tracking a rogue A.I.M. agent to a remote island where the Red Skull awaits. As the Cosmic Cube’s true potential unfolds, Cap confronts a chilling revelation tied to his past—and the weapon that could reshape reality itself.
In "The Red Skull Supreme!", Captain America faces an impossible foe: the Red Skull, wielding the all-powerful Cosmic Cube and reshaping reality at will. With the island crumbling beneath them, Cap uses cunning over strength, feigning submission to lure the Skull into a golden suit of armor—only to turn the tide by sending the Cube into the ocean depths.
In "Celluloid Heroes!", Captain America arrives in California to oversee a Hollywood biopic of his life, only to be ambushed at the airport by the Nihilist Front. He’s pulled from danger by Nomad, the sleek, media-savvy hero who seems tailor-made for the modern age—leaving Cap to wonder if the real threat might not be the attackers, but the image they’re trying to sell.
In "Death of a Legend?", Captain America finds himself caught in a deadly game of deception during a high-profile publicity tour, where the mysterious Nomad keeps appearing to thwart the Nihilist Front. When a parade turns into a violent ambush, Cap is captured and awakens to a shocking twist: he’s now the star of a film—*The Death of Captain America*—directed by the Red Skull himself.
In "The Last Movie!", Captain America finds himself trapped in a surreal cinematic nightmare orchestrated by the Red Skull, who’s turning his own demise into a film. As the lines between reality and the reel blur, Cap fights to escape the final act—only to confront the Nihilist Order and a dying Ameridroid offering one last, unexpected assist.
In "House Calls," Cap and Diamondback investigate strange lights at the Red Skull's abandoned headquarters, while the Skeleton Crew, guided by a mystic, uncover the Skull—broken and forgotten in a bunker, left behind by Magneto. The story weaves tension between past and present, as old enemies resurface in unexpected ways.
