6. Captain America: Winter Soldier

If you hadn't already guessed, this graphic novel is the basis for the second Captain America film, and the first comic book introduction of the titular Winter Soldier, now a mainstay of the Marvel universe.

The adaptation of the Winter Soldier to the big screen took some big creative liberties with the source material, and while said changes made sense for the MCU, Ed Brubaker's original version is at least worth reading to witness the differences between the two.

There's more to it than that though, because this book has a great story too.

Most people have probably gleaned this from the fact that it has a movie based off of it. Nevertheless Captain America: Winter Soldier is one of the Captain's defining books, making this graphic novel a must-read for the purpose of seeing the good Captain at his best.
