Captain America #15

From the team Wizard named Best Series of 2005, Captain America #15 arrives in 2006 with a cover by Steve Epting that crackles with wartime energy — Cap bursts shield-first through a vintage WWII recruitment poster, the marching soldiers and bold rallying text of "Together We Win" and "Go Get 'em Cap" framing him dramatically. Writer Ed Brubaker and artist Mike Perkins continue their acclaimed run with "Red Is the Darkest Color," colored by Frank G. D'Armata, and this cover alone — two looming dark-gloved hands closing in from the edges — promises something far more dangerous than patriotic nostalgia.
