New Avengers Military Special #5

[MadMikeyD]

I went to the PX this morning and found a new issue of Marvel's New Avengers military specials. "The Spirit of America" is the fifth of the series. I have not read it yet, but I can tell you that while these issues are said to take place outside of normal Marvel continuity, Cap is dead here. He only appears on a videotaped message.

I've never heard of these. Who does the art and writing?

Can you give us a description of what happened in issue 4?

Can you give us a description of what happened in issue 4?

#4 - "Letters Home" - is my favorite of the bunch. Cap is the sole Avenger, as the rest of the team is spending the holidays with loved ones. Hydra has taken over a military sattelite. Besides having a weapons system, the sattelite is also used for Soldiers and their loved ones to send e-mails to and from overseas. To stop Hydra from using the weapon, and make sure the Soldiers e-mails get through, Cap enlists the help of the Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider, and, reluctantly, the Punisher. Stuart Moore also wrote this one, and each characters storyline was done by a different art team. The story is told through the various heroes' "letters" to their loved ones.
