Hot on the heels of announcing four new superhero titles, Panini Comics UK have just released a new Bookazine, Falcon and Winter Soldier: Cut Off One Head, timed perfectly to mark the launch of Falcon and Winter Soldier on Disney+ next week.
Sam Wilson. Bucky Barnes. Two heroes who have fought side-by-side with Captain America against all manner of threats. Now, they must reunite to prevent the return of one of his deadliest enemies – Hydra!
The clock is ticking as they race to discover who the super-terrorist group’s new Supreme Leader is and take them down, in a story, written by Derek Landy with art by Federico Vicentini.
Plus, delve even deeper into the Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s pasts, with a pair of classic tales revealing their incredible origins…
Reprising “The Coming of the Falcon“, a classic Captain America story first published back in 1968, written by Stan Lee with art by Gene Colan, Captain America meets a new crimefighting partner as the Falcon makes his daring debut! Sam Wilson and his avian accomplice, Redwing, take centre stage in the midst of one of Cap’s greatest showdowns with his evil archenemy, the Red Skull!
Trapped on the island of Exiles, Cap begins training Sam Wilson to join him in final battle with the Skull — and helps him adopt a stirring alter ego to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies! The Falcon is born, and nothing will ever be the same again for Sam Wilson or Steve Rogers!
In a story first published in 2006 written by Ed Brubaker with art by Steve Epting, Captain America faces down his personal demons, in a hand-to-hand battle with the Winter Soldier. But he’s not just fighting for victory, he’s in a struggle for the heart and soul of everything he’s ever cared about, and the results will send tragic echoes throughout his life for years to come!
