Captain America: Reborn #1

Ed Brubaker launches this five-issue limited series with a cover by Bryan Hitch and Butch Guice that makes an immediate statement: a triumphant Captain America surges forward, fist raised and shield in hand, while a second Cap figure charges through the chaos and flames behind him. The composition radiates hard-won momentum — soldiers and rubble crowd the background, framing Steve Rogers as a man returned to the thick of battle. With Hitch and Guice's kinetic linework setting the tone, "Reborn" opens as one of 2009's most anticipated Marvel events.
