Captain America: Homecoming #1
"Homecoming" kicks off a pivotal chapter in Captain America’s journey, as the Red Skull—using the Cosmic Cube—banishes the real Steve Rogers to a remote tropical island. There, Cap teams up with a Harlem-based falconer working for the Exiles, a mysterious group with ties to the island, as the young man begins to question his role and ultimately embraces a new identity as the Falcon. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with dynamic precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Joe Sinnott and lettering by Sam Rosen, this issue captures the heart of Cap’s ideals through a story rooted in loyalty, legacy, and the quiet courage of those who step forward. The cover, a collaborative effort by Mark Bagley, Gene Colan, and John Romita, with inks by Andrew Hennessy, Joe Sinnott, and John Romita, presents a striking visual of Cap and the Falcon in their first shared moment.
