Sebastian Stan returns as the Winter Soldier in Thunderbolts*, in theaters May 2, 2025

Eisner Award-Winning writer Ed Brubaker (Daredevil, Criminal) delivers a high-stakes, espionage-laden thriller in this classic story that reshaped the legacy of Captain America and left a lasting impact on the Marvel Universe.


Writer Ed Brubaker pushes the Captain America mythos headlong into the future with high adventure and full-throttle action. For more than fifty years, the Soviets employed an undercover agent — an unstoppable, untraceable killer known as the Winter Soldier — to assassinate key political figures in the West. His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s one-time partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War II.

Now the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin — who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin’s reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube — only to find himself face-to-face with the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after finally learning the astonishing truth?

Praise for Captain America: The Winter Soldier [Marvel Premier Collection]

Praise for Captain America: The Winter Soldier

“[The Winter Soldier is] one of the best comic runs in the last 20 years, one of our favorite comic runs of all time…” — Anthony Russo, director of Marvel Studios’ Captain America: The Winter Soldier

“I’ll never forget reading this book. Brubaker and Epting filled it with realism, unleashing an espionage-packed shadowy thriller that, like Bucky himself, refused to be ignored. When you look at the best Captain America stories ever told, this will always make the list.” — Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Book of Fate and Identity Crisis

“The story of Captain America and the Winter Soldier is the story of every soldier who defends this country: willingness to put duty over self, and an unbreakable bond of loyalty to both country and the men and women fighting beside you. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a beautiful, tragic tale of valor and sacrifice.” — Alma Katsu, former CIA officer and acclaimed author of The Hunger and Red London

Captain America: The Winter Soldier reads like a descent into madness — a battle for sanity — in a covert world where good and evil are at once allies and enemies, where the truth is around every corner with a loaded gun. An exploration of the complex interplay between dreams, reality and memory — and the high price of power — it’s a tale both gripping and profound. I dare you to open this and walk away.” — I.S. Berry, former CIA officer and Edgar Award-winning author of The Peacock and the Sparro

“Brubaker and Epting’s Captain America run isn’t just one of the best Cap stories of all time — it’s one of the best comic runs of all time.” — AIPT

“The Winter Soldier makes an explosive debut in his first appearance as he faces off with his old mentor, Captain America. Brubaker’s Winter Soldier run truly changed everything for Steve Rogers moving forward.” — CBR

“…the perfect gateway comic…The Winter Soldier made me a bigger comics fan, but more importantly it made me an Ed Brubaker fan.” — Slashfilm
