As dissidents seek violent change, two of T’Challa’s peers, the Dora Milaje, forge their own courageous paths.

Now, the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin – who has acquired a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon with unlimited power that can warp 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 Captain America be forced to fight his resurrected partner after finally learning the shocking truth?
