Cover Rave - Captain America #405

This comic cover is appropriate to current events because last weekend I saw Captain America: The First Avenger (and liked it a lot as you can hear on this week's ESO podcast), and I purchased the entire "Man and Wolf" story arc last time I was at the Charlotte ComiCon, where I will be this weekend. The show is a great place to find super deals on trades and back issues! Case in point, This storyline is a fun adventure written by long-time Cap writer Mark Gruenwald guest starring many other Marvel characters. The idea of "Capwolf" skirts the line between cool and silly, but this cover wins me over. And I got it for far less than the price listed on said cover!
