Captain America: Sam Wilson #9

Sam Wilson charges forward on this cover with shield raised and eyes glowing red, flanked by a gun-toting female ally in red-and-blue armor and a bearded man in tactical gear scrambling across a debris-strewn battlefield — with Redwing soaring overhead in full wingspread. Angel Unzueta's linework gives the whole scene a kinetic, ground-level urgency that suits a Captain America who earns every inch of that star. Nick Spencer's 2016 run continues to deliver an ensemble-driven take on the mantle, and issue #9 looks like no shortage of action.
