Captive in the jungle! Darko Macan and Danijel Zezelj pick up after last issues's cliffhanger ending and keep you trapped in the jungle, trapped in this powerful story! If Captain America represents the promise of all the United States could be, and the soldiers he travels with represent a seedier reality, how is Cap affected? What will happen to the living legend? But Cap will not have time to ponder these questions, as his unseen hunters close on his captors, and the children they escort. Who among the American soldiers will survive, and who will remain a Dead Man Running alone in the jungle?
Writer Darko Macan, with the help of Zezelj's strange modernist artwork, puts Captain America between a rock and a hard place as the star-spangled hero is dropped into a South American jungle to aid a squad of American soldiers in their endeavor to liberate a group of Columbian children. Though, revered by these men, Cap finds himself at moral odds with the reprobate soldiers, making him call into question his own soldier/hero mentality. With the mission and children's lives at stake, Cap and his wayward squad trudge forward into a treacherous exploit of a soldier's ethics.As one of the first stories to truly probe the depths of Captain America's psyche, this gritty tale shows the legendary hero in a brand new light and throws to the wind all presuppositions about the lengths he's willing to go to do the right thing.
