* BeyondRedemption: Sam's opinion of Bucky (and in contrast to Steve's hopes Bucky can be redeemed and saved). Whatever noble goals the former Winter Soldier may have had in trying to bring down the Outer Circle from inside, freeing Hunter -- especially after his war crimes during ''Symbol of Truth'''s first year -- was the last straw. Sam is fully prepared to kill his brother-in-arms if that's what it takes to end this.

Understandably enraged that he'd been even more of a UnwittingPawn than he'd previously believed, Bucky was determined to investigate the conspiracy on his own -- and without bringing in Steve Rogers (at least initially). However, Steve ended up getting dragged into the investigation anyway after the Game's players launched an attempted terrorist attack on New York City during the Fourth of July.

The newest Cold War press release (https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/captain-america-cold-war-crossover-titles-april-steve-rogers-sam-wilson) has provided enough new information to justify restoring the previously-deleted synopsis (albeit modified with new details and with any superfluous or outdated details trimmed).


The event will team up Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson for the first time since ''Captain America'' (2022) #0 and will serve as the culmination of the threats, battles, and mysteries that have been building in both books since their launches in mid-2022.

to:

The event will team up During the events of ''ComicBook/DevilsReign'', Bucky Barnes attempted to recover blackmail material that Mayor Wilson Fisk had assembled on various Marvel heroes -- himself included. Instead, Bucky discovered Fisk's blackmail file on him actually contained evidence of a mysterious conspiracy called the Century Game -- and with it, the revelation that they'd had a hitherto unknown and driving role in the development and operation of the Winter Soldier Program.

Understandably enraged that he'd been even more of a UnwittingPawn than he'd previously believed, Bucky was determined to investigate the conspiracy on his own -- and without bringing in
Steve Rogers (at least initially). However, Steve ended up getting dragged into the investigation anyway after the Game's players launched an attempted terrorist attack on New York City during the Fourth of July.

Steve's own subsequent investigation has revealed the Century Game originated in the aftermath of the First World War
and is overseen by a mysterious cabal calling itself the Outer Circle -- and, just like the Winter Soldier Program, they also had their hooks in Operation Rebirth and the creation of Captain America. Steve would have become their unwitting pawn had he not ended up frozen in the ice (a role Bucky ironically and tragically then fulfilled in Steve's place as the Winter Soldier).

But Steve and Bucky are not the only members of the Captain America Family who've become unwilling players in the Century Game.
Sam Wilson for and Joaquin Torres have also unwittingly gotten caught up in the first time since ''Captain America'' (2022) #0 and will serve as the culmination repercussions of the threats, battles, conspiracy on their end. The Outer Circle's tendrils extend even into Wakanda and mysteries they have somehow recruited (or compromised) Wakanda's spymaster White Wolf AKA T'Challa's adopted brother Hunter. In collaboration with Brock Rumlow/Crossbones, Hunter has been setting global fires (vibranium smuggling, terrorist attacks, and a civil war in his own homeland) that the Symbol of Truth and the second Falcon have been building trying to put out and investigate in recent months.

Now, the LongGame is approaching its climax. A betrayal from a former ally will force
both books since their launches in mid-2022.
Captains America to join forces to take on the Outer Circle and to save the 21st Century from the Century Game.
