“The Death of Captain America Act 3 The Man Who Bought America: Part Four”

Two figures in Captain America's costume clash violently in front of the Statue of Liberty — one in the darker, black-accented suit wielding a shield and a firearm, the other in the classic red-white-and-blue uniform swinging his own shield overhead — making it unmistakably clear that the mantle of Captain America is very much in dispute. This is the fourth chapter of "The Death of Captain America Act 3: The Man Who Bought America," written by Ed Brubaker with art and cover by Steve Epting and colors by Frank D'Armata. The symbolic backdrop of Lady Liberty gives the confrontation a charged, almost mythic weight that feels entirely earned by 2008's gripping run on this title.
