We’ve been building up to the Death of Captain America for a few years now, and it’s finally time to read the most memorable moment from Ed Brubaker’s run in issues #25-30! 

Find out if Cap’s supporting characters can sustain the book without him! Also learn a lot about how secret psychic activation codes work.

Then, we move on to Earth X #8, which continues to improve and also prominently features a werewolf astronaut. Coincidence?

It’s a busy episode! We’re reading Volume 2 of Ed Brubaker’s Winter Soldier run on Captain America where we see those dastardly Russians fill Bucky’s brain with lies!

There’s also a House of M tie-in issue in the middle which we went ahead and red as well.

Then we end things with the debut of Electro in Amazing Spider-Man #9. Thankfully, J. Jonah Jameson also returns to the series after taking a month off.

We’re starting a couple of classics today from very different eras! First up it’s Ed Brubaker’s Winter Soldier run on Captain America, which provided the basis for the second Captain America film. We’re planning to read the whole thing eventually, but for today we’re just doing the first volume.

Then we’re starting our long-read of the first year of Amazing Spider-Man. That’s right, all the way from the beginning. If it’s any good, maybe we’ll read the next 60 years worth as well.
