Captain America #600, 601
Here is one of the many re-numbering at Marvel, counting all different series relaunch as part of one big ongoing series. I actually don't mind this, I think a big number does not intimidate me into trying a new series, it's the bad quality that takes care of that.

The first 14 issues (sans a couple of stand alone stories) are one big story arc introducing Cap's new nemesis and the Winter Soldier, aka Bucky. This is a particularly good series for readers who are [...]
