Jun 24, 2026This run continues to be everything you would want in a Captain America story. It’s gritty, powerful, unique, and yet familiar. Captain America continues to fully flesh out what being a hero and being Captain America in this world looks like, even if it means making a decision where both decisions are bad. Despite being in the world of comic books and still being a superhero, this series, and this issue in particular, provides us with perhaps the most emotionally realistic portrayal of what it means to be Captain America.

Plot
Captain America is between life and death. Red Hulk's attack has left him severely injured, but mysteriously, his soul is sent to the Underworld, where Doctor Doom and his ally Veratok explain that his life hangs by a thread and he's there because his soul is about to cross over. Doom asks Cap for help to stop Mephisto, who hates Doctor Doom and wants his soul.
Steve isn't convinced about helping Doctor Doom, but after witnessing someone being tortured, he decides he must help these tormented souls escape Mephisto's torments.
Mephisto, on the other hand, recruits Red Skull to defeat Steve Rogers.
This comic completely shifts its narrative focus from ideological and geopolitical conflicts to pure horror i more+ Like • Comment -
