“Big Trouble in Little Mogadishu Chapter Five: Josiah”

In 2002, Josiah Bradley—once a secret experiment in the Super Soldier program and now a man haunted by a fragmented past—receives an unexpected gift: a genuine Captain America uniform, sent without a trace. Written by Priest and illustrated by Joe Bennett, with inks by Danny Miki and colors by Avalon Studios, this issue dives into Josiah’s journey from a forgotten child of science to a soldier caught between legacy and identity. The cover, a striking piece by J. H. Williams III, captures the weight of that legacy in a single, powerful image.
