“Ambush!”

In "Ambush!", John Walker, stripped of his Captain America mantle after avenging his parents by killing the Watchdogs, is pressured by the Commission to return to duty. Sent to confront the pro-mutant Resistants, he's drawn into a trap orchestrated by Freedom Force — but when the Resistants attack during a staged trial for Quicksilver, the betrayal by their newest recruit, the former Mentallo, only deepens the chaos. With tensions flaring and violence erupting, Walker’s past trauma ignites as he steps in, his resolve pushed to the breaking point. Written by Mark Gruenwald and illustrated by Kieron Dwyer, with Al Milgrom on inks and Bob Sharen handling colors, the cover by Ron Frenz and Al Milgrom captures the moment’s intensity.

John Walker is sanctioned for killing the Watchdogs who gunned down his parents and suspended from his role as Captain America. The head of the Commission, wants him reinstated and thrown back into action immediately. Freedom Force sets a trap for the pro-mutant group calling themselves the Resistants. At a mock trial for Quicksilver (really Mystique), the Resistants attack but their newest member, the former Mentallo, informs them it is a set up. When a battle ensues between the two groups, Cap intervenes and, driven over the edge by the death of his parents, brutally takes down the mutants.
