Captain America #612

Part two of "The Trial of Captain America" arrives with a cover by Marko Djurdjević that says everything without a word — Steve Rogers in full uniform grips prison bars from behind, his expression grim and resolute, while the Winter Soldier stands above him armed and defiant against a fiery red sky, a jagged white symbol crackling between them. The tension between these two figures — one confined, one free — sets a compelling stage for Ed Brubaker's story, rendered inside by Butch Guice with colors by Bettie Breitweiser. Nomad also gets a spotlight this issue, with her small portrait badge in the corner hinting that 2011's Captain America has more than one hero carrying the weight of this moment.
