Ta-Nehisi Coates' Captain America — the most culturally significant Cap run since Brubaker, written by a National Book Award-winning journalist and author. Coates brought his analytical perspective on American history and race to Steve Rogers, exploring how a man who embodies national ideals navigates a fractured, mistrustful America.
