Captain America: White #3

Tim Sale's cover for Captain America: White #3 captures a breathless World War II battlefield charge, with Captain America hurling himself forward — shield raised and ready — while a smaller figure in a dark costume (Bucky) races alongside him through a storm of explosions and barbed wire, enemy aircraft visible in the smoky sky above. The sepia-and-flame color palette by Dave Stewart gives the scene a vivid, almost painterly urgency that feels both timeless and grounded in wartime. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's "A Hole in the Head" promises the kind of tightly focused, character-driven action this creative team handles so well.
