Captain America #7

A haunting cover by Steve Epting sets a somber tone for this 2005 installment of Ed Brubaker's run — a "MISSING" flyer for Jack Monroe, also known as Nomad, drifts through dark water, ominous and adrift beneath a shadowy, submerged figure. The story title alone, "The Lonesome Death of Jack Monroe," signals that Brubaker is bringing real emotional weight to this corner of the Marvel universe, rendered with striking atmosphere by artist John Paul Leon and colorist Frank D'Armata. If you've been following this series, issue #7 looks like exactly the kind of chapter that makes this run so compelling.
