Captain America #17

From high above the Earth aboard what appears to be a space station, a tense standoff unfolds on the cover of this 2012 installment — a purple-and-gold-costumed figure faces off gun-to-gun against a blonde woman in white, both poised on the verge of pulling the trigger. Holographic displays in the background flash alarming headlines linking martial law, riots, and Captain America, hinting at the global stakes driving "New World Orders Part 3." Steve Epting's cover art crackles with cold, controlled tension, making this a compelling chapter in the Brubaker and Bunn run on Cap.
