Captain America #6

A sinister Red Skull dominates Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's striking cover for Captain America #6, his grinning face looming large at the center while a skull rests ominously in the foreground below him. Surrounding him is a tense ensemble — a wide-eyed Steve Rogers, Iron Man, a alarmed blonde woman, a dark-haired woman, and figures including what appear to be Thanos and a green-costumed hero crowded along the edges, all radiating unease. Ed Brubaker's "Powerless Part 1" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes Marvel drama that made his 2012 Captain America run so compelling.
