Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier #3

Part three of this 2010 limited series finds Steve Rogers in serious trouble — Carlos Pacheco and Tim Townsend's cover depicts him in his sleek blue S.H.I.E.L.D.-style uniform, straining against the crushing grip of a massive, heavily armed robotic enemy. The tension is palpable as the hulking mechanized figure looms over him, weapons bristling on all sides. Ed Brubaker's script paired with Dale Eaglesham's interior art and Andy Troy's colors promises the same sharp, espionage-charged energy that makes this four-issue run a compelling showcase for Rogers as a spy and soldier, not just a shield-bearer.
