Captain America #28

Captain America stands his ground — shield raised, body braced — as a writhing mass of grotesque creatures closes in from every direction on this striking 2000 cover by Andy Kubert and Tim Townsend. Winged beasts, clawed monstrosities, and hulking creatures surround him in a chaotic swarm that makes the odds feel genuinely overwhelming. With the story titled "Grotesqueries," this issue promises the kind of against-all-comers intensity that Cap handles better than almost anyone in the Marvel universe.
