About the series
Brett Lewis and John Paul Leon’s The Winter Men Winter Special is a single-issue DC comic from 2009 that expands the grim, post-Soviet world of the original series. Leon’s moody, atmospheric art grounds a story of disillusioned super-soldiers navigating a crumbling Russia, with Lewis’s script deepening the series’ noir-tinged examination of power and redemption. Though a brief entry, this special matters as a haunting coda to one of the most distinctive, understated superhero-adjacent works of the 2000s.
