A midnight call to duty brings Captain America aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier to identify the corpse of his most feared adversary: the Red Skull! The shocking murder of Cap's oldest enemy may not be the end of the Skull's plans, however, because whoever shot the Skull has stolen his final project: an unfinished Cosmic Cube with the potential power to alter reality itself. Adding to the imminent danger, a cadre of the Skull's followers has already set in motion a plan to ignite bombs in the hearts of Paris, London and Manhattan - causing untold death and destruction.
Racing against these bombs' rapidly ticking clocks, the Star-Spangled Avenger must not only solve the mystery of his nemesis' murder, but find the Cube before it can be used in the Red Skull's malevolent plot against the United States!
Then, the questions plaguing Captain America's dreams and memories have been answered in the most brutal way possible. And in the wake of this brutality, General Lukin makes his first all-out assault - tearing open old wounds and threatening to make new scars that will never heal!

Actually read this earlier this year, but didn't know what trade it was collected in (I'm reading digitally, as individual issues). I haven't been a big Cap fan, but this run by Brubaker and Epting has changed my mind.
My first foray into Marvel Comics starts with my favorite Avenger, Captain America! It has been great to read this storyline and see what the movies kept and changed. Been loving it so far!
You guys, I'm kind of scared that I have friendships that will not endure my opinion about this book, but I just gotta speak my own truth.
I just thought this was rill boring!! I couldn't believe how long it was! Or how little I cared about all the Nazi backstory! I cared sooo little omg. IDK I guess this was rebooting/recontextualizing an existing, confusing canon? Brubaker... probably did the best he could with it? But honestly just like... so many convoluted threads happening and yet all of them seemed boring. Why. How. There is literally a frozen-in-stasis brainwashed guy with a metal arm. How is that boring?IDK, it just wasn't... fun. I guess I mostly prefer fun superhero comics to these serious, angsty ones.Also, Captain America is easily my least favorite Avenger, so I'm sure that didn't help my feelings about this at all.
SORRY I HOPE WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS. I STILL THINK THE MOVIE LOOKS PRETTY DOPE.
