Captain America Annual #1

Captain America charges directly into a volley of gunfire, his vibranium shield sparking with bullet impacts as multiple weapon muzzles press in from the foreground — it's a tense, you-are-there composition that puts readers right in the crossfire. Behind him, a young woman in period civilian clothes clutches what appears to be a camera or small device, setting a distinctly World War II-era tone that fits the story's evocative title, "Ziegenfarm." Chris Sprouse and Karl Story deliver a cover with real forward momentum, and with Tini Howard, Ron Lim, and a full creative team inside, this 2018 annual looks like a genuinely satisfying extra-sized read.
