Marvel Universe. He is also responsible for re-inventing and reviving
Captain America and other characters such as
The Man With No face and
Max Fury.
While he was working on
Captain America and creator-owned series such as

Westworld on HBO. He is also the co-writer and co-creator of

One of Ed Brubaker’s most popular works is
Captain America Vol. 1, in which Batman goes against a seemingly unbeatable assassin. The Dark Knight is being stalked from the shadows by Zeiss, who has studied his fighting style and is now prepared for anything Batman could throw at him.
He has also had surgeries that have enhanced his reflexes and eyes, and he can block any punch with ease, given his lightning-speed reactions. Batman is one of the best, but can he beat a man who can anticipate his every move?
Captain America Vol. 4 is another popular Ed Brubaker work that follows the next chapter in the life of Steve Rogers. Captain America finds himself in a race against time as secrets from a mission from the Second World War come out and reveal why old friends have turned into enemies. It is a work that is all-out history and action that pushes the story forward, even as it ties up some loose threads.
The first volume of Batman, which he published in 2016, was another very popular work. Captain America is still dealing with the aftereffects of Hydra’s Madbombs when he realizes that he is being targeted in a vicious media smear campaign.
Meanwhile, American interests find themselves under track across the US even as society begins to crumble and riots break out all over the country.
