Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty

    (Marvel, 1998-1999)
™ and ©1998 Marvel Entertainment Group

The creative team of writer Mark Waid and artist Ron Garney were the best thing to happen to Captain America since World War II, and they proved it again in Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty. Waid riffs on fifty-plus years of Cap continuity to explore the depth and meaning of Captain America as a man and a symbol, without crossing the line into Watchmen-style pathology or overzealous fanboyism. Garney’s art continues to amaze, fusing the dynamism of Jack Kirby, the cinematic pacing of Jim Steranko, and the lyricism of Alex Schomburg—Cap’s three finest artistic interpreters—into a fluid, eye-pleasing style that packs a knockout punch (and offers an excellent escape route from the artistic cul-de-sac that the Marvel style has become in the 1990s).
