The post-9/11 Marvel Knights Captain America book. Within two story arcs, it went from Cap symbolically avenging the victims of the attacks by beating "totally not Bin Laden, you guys" to uncovering a nefarious conspiracy perpetrated by the U.S. government that retconned the events of Avengers #4.

It says a lot that the best arc of the book used the cliché plot of "what if the Nazis won the war."

I agree that that run started out terribly, but... this gives me the apportunity to mention my favorite Captain America writer ever, even better than Ed Brubaker : Robert Morales!

Aftre those initial terrible issues from John Ney Rieber, Chuck Austen (and some Dave Gibbons issues I don't even remember) came Robert Morales of "Truth : Red White & Black", another incredible Cap story drawn by Kyle Baker. Starting with issue #21 and for 7 more issues, Morales crafted one of the most political Cap story ever and a great thriller, all with great Bachalo and Eddy Campbell artwork. This was probably the first time I read a Cap story I felt I could recommend to anyone who wouldn't be into superheroes. So that post 9/11 run had that great merit IMHO.

I'll have to go back and look at those again. I remember not disliking them as much as the rest of the series.
