I'm very interested in seeing how the incorporation of Batroc will work in the series. The last time I remember him encountering Captain America was briefly during the Heroes Reborn storyline where he fought Cap on behalf of the Skrulls machinations.

Anyways, this is yet another great great cover. I love the awesome cover consistency that's been there throughout the entire series. Steve, I'm glad that you've been doing all the covers this time. It gives the series a sense of cohesiveness.

Thanks Raphael. I'm very happy to have done almost all of the covers, and I'm pleased that I've been able to do painted covers since issue #25. I'm hoping to experiment with different styles more, but I want the covers to be appropriate to the tone of the book, so I probably won't get too crazy.

Thanks for the comment.
