The Winter Men

Brett Lewis and John Paul Leon’s The Winter Men is a tense, atmospheric miniseries from DC that reimagines super-soldiers as broken, Cold War-era relics in a gritty post-Soviet Russia. Its single issue, published in 2010, distills a potent blend of espionage, existential dread, and stark, moody art, establishing Leon’s signature shadow-drenched style. Though brief, the series remains a cult touchstone for its mature, slow-burn take on superhero tropes.
