“Time's Arrow - Part 1 of 3”

Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America delivers another gripping chapter with issue #43, opening "Time's Arrow," a new three-part arc. Steve Epting's cover says it all — a striking split-image of the same man shown simultaneously as a civilian carrying a Tommy gun amid wartime soldiers and as the fully suited Captain America gripping his iconic red-white-and-blue shield, with the Brooklyn Bridge and a mysterious woman visible behind him. The duality on display hints at a story wrestling with identity, legacy, and what it means to carry the mantle of Captain America.
