So many high points to this commission. 

One that hasn't been mentioned yet: the sheer ugliness of the ground around Cap. This is a once-busy town that's been ground into smaller and smaller chunks during year after year of brutal warfare until there's nothing recognizable left. In war, whole towns and even cities return to a browner and sootier version of their original state of natural entropy.

Like the shredded flag, it underscores the blast furnace nature of combat. An exceptional detail.

For years, John Romita, Sr.'s work on Captain America has been my favorite.
However, when I think of JB's short run and commissions like these... Well, let
me just say that Cap begins to rival Spider-Man as my favorite Marvel
superhero!

Wonderful commission. I would love to see more of this version of Cap in the comics. Not a fan of his recent costume changes. I'd have to say that he's my favorite superhero too.

John, thank you for this beautiful piece of work.  Cap is my favorite as well and when you illustrate him I can feel the patriotism each time.  You just know how to do this right!
