Captain America #2
This volume collects the first six issues of the 2003 Captain America series by writer John Nocenti and artist John Romita Jr. It follows Steve Rogers as he navigates a post-9/11 world, grappling with his role as a symbol of American ideals while facing new threats that blur the lines between patriotism and moral compromise. The story arc explores themes of duty, identity, and the cost of heroism in a changing era.
In "The Extremists Part 1 of 5 – Barricade," Captain America battles a storm both literal and psychological, his mind unraveling under the influence of a drug that conjures visions of his past foes. Rescued from the tempest by Hana, an Atlantean woman he misidentifies as Sharon Carter, he’s thrust into a dangerous web of deception and uncertainty. Written by Chuck Austen and brought to life with striking visuals by Jae Lee and José Villarrubia, with a cover by John Cassaday, this 2003 issue marks a pivotal moment in the character’s journey.
