Written by Jim Valentino and illustrated by Dave Simons, with inks by Bob Downs and colors by Tom Vincent, this issue charts a fractured America where John Walker is thrust into the role of Super Patriot, only to spiral into instability. The cover, by Dave Simons and Al Milgrom, captures the moment the world watches in shock as Cap is shot—setting off a chain of events that leads to the Red Skull’s rise.
In a world where Captain America refuses to surrender his mantle, Steve Rogers stands defiant as the government appoints John Walker as Super Patriot to take his place. With the nation divided and the Avengers caught in the crossfire, a shocking assassination plunges the superhero landscape into chaos—leaving the mantle of Captain America vulnerable to the one man who’s always wanted it: the Red Skull.
