Captain America #14

The sixth and final chapter of "The Winter Soldier" arrives with a cover that layers past and present in striking fashion — in the foreground, Captain America and the heavily armed Winter Soldier face each other in a tense, close-quarters standoff, shield raised and eyes locked, while behind them a vivid golden-age tableau depicts Cap and Bucky charging into WWII-era battle amid warplanes and explosions. Brubaker, Epting, and D'Armata bring a real sense of history's weight to this conclusion, with Epting and Schomburg's combined cover work bridging two eras of the Star-Spangled Avenger in one charged image. If you've been following this arc, issue #14 promises the payoff.
