“Warlords Part 2: Above the Law”

In "Warlords Part 2: Above the Law," Captain America thwarts a deadly terrorist attack on Washington DC, only to find himself at odds with Nick Fury over the ethical implications of remote assassination technology. Written by John Ney Rieber and illustrated with striking precision by John Cassaday—whose dynamic art and bold inks define the issue's intensity—this pivotal chapter explores the cost of power and the blurred lines of justice. The cover, also by Cassaday, captures the moment’s tension with dramatic flair.
