Captain America: Sam Wilson #22

Sam Wilson strides forward with grim purpose through a damaged subway station, his red-and-white star-spangled cape trailing behind him — battered but still flying — while a winged figure hovers above and a masked, blue-faced figure moves alongside a group of civilians seeking shelter nearby. Elizabeth Torque's cover perfectly captures the weight of the mantle Sam carries: a hero standing firm amid chaos, surrounded by ordinary people looking for protection. With writing by Nick Spencer, art by Sean Izaakse, and colors by Nolan Woodard, this 2017 issue delivers a compelling portrait of what it truly means to be Captain America.
