“Of Monsters and Men”

In "Of Monsters and Men," Steve Rogers faces a chilling twist when a deranged impostor—wearing his uniform and claiming to be him—abruptly interrupts a quiet evening with Bernie Rosenthal. As the fake Captain America attacks, Steve must confront not just a physical threat, but a terrifying question: who is truly Steve Rogers? Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life with striking intensity by Mike Zeck and John Beatty, this issue blends psychological tension with classic superhero stakes, all wrapped in a cover by Zeck and Beatty.
