“Letting Go”

In "Letting Go," Captain America confronts profound loss as he visits the deathbed of an old comrade, while Nomad clashes with the relentless Porcupine. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with inks by Kim DeMulder and colors by Bob Sharen, this emotionally charged issue captures the weight of duty and memory. The cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty perfectly frames the tension between legacy and sacrifice.
