“The Death of the Dream: Act 2 The Burden of Dreams: Part One”

Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting, and Frank D'Armata were crafting some of the most gripping Captain America stories of 2007, and this issue opens "The Burden of Dreams" arc with a cover that stops you cold. A dark-clad figure lies fallen among rubble, clutching Captain America's star-spangled shield, while a massive, menacing Red Skull looms as a fiery specter in the crimson sky above. The image carries a real weight of loss and foreboding — a quiet, haunting scene that promises the story inside earns its somber subtitle.
