Captain America: The Death of Captain America #3

A new figure stands at the center of this 2008 Marvel collection, wearing the star-spangled Captain America costume with quiet, steely resolve — shield raised and ready. Surrounding him in a richly painted montage are familiar faces from the Marvel spy world: a blonde woman with a pistol, Black Widow crouched in the foreground, a winged hero, armored soldiers, a looming robotic figure, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle emblem anchoring the composition. Ed Brubaker, Epting, De La Torre, and Ross deliver the concluding arc of this Eisner Award–winning run with the kind of political tension and espionage atmosphere that earned it the #1 spot on Rolling Stone's Top Ten of Pop Culture.
