===Modern era (2000s to present)=== Writer and artist [[Dan Jurgens]] took over ''Captain America'' from Waid in 2000, positioning the character in a world he described as "more cynical [...] in terms of how we view our government, our politicians and people's motives in general".{{sfn|Morse|2007|p=44}} In the wake of the [[September 11 attacks]], a new ''Captain America'' series written by [[John Ney Rieber]] with artwork by [[John Cassaday]] was published under the [[Marvel Knights]] imprint from 2002 to 2003.{{sfn|Dowsett|2008|p=312}} The series received criticism for its depiction of Captain America fighting terrorists modelled after [[Al-Qaeda]], though Cassady contended that the aim of the series was to depict "the emotions this hero was going through" in the wake of 9/11, and the "guilt and anger a man in his position would feel".{{sfn|Morse|2007|pp=44β46}} In 2005, Marvel relaunched ''Captain America'' in [[Captain America (vol. 5)|a new volume]] written by [[Ed Brubaker]] and illustrated by [[Steve Epting]]. The run saw the publication of "[[The Winter Soldier (story arc)|The Winter Soldier]]", which reintroduced Captain America's [[Comic book death|previously deceased]] partner Bucky Barnes as a brainwashed cybernetic assassin.{{sfn|Morse|2007|p=48}} Contemporaneously, Captain America was a central character in the 2006 [[Fictional crossover|crossover storyline]] "[[Civil War (comics)|Civil War]]", written by [[Mark Millar]] and penciled by [[Steve McNiven]], which saw the character come into conflict with fellow Avengers member Iron Man over government efforts to regulate superheroes.{{sfn|Rizzo|Licari|2021|p=142}} The character was killed in the 2007 storyline "[[The Death of Captain America]]" written by Brubaker,{{sfn|Morse|2007|p=48}} which was accompanied by the miniseries ''[[Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America]]'' written by Jeph Loeb;<ref name="FallenSon"/> the character was later revived in the 2009 limited series ''[[Captain America: Reborn]]''.{{sfn|Rizzo|Licari|2021|p=162}} Brubaker's run on ''Captain America'', which ran across various titles until 2012, was critically and commercially acclaimed; ''Captain America'' #25 (which contains the character's death) was the best-selling comic of 2007,<ref name="DeathSales"/> and Brubaker won the [[Harvey Award]] for Best Writer for the series in 2006.<ref name="Harvey"/> After Brubaker's run on ''Captain America'' ended in 2012, a new volume of the series written by [[Rick Remender]] was published as part of the [[Marvel Now]] rebranding initiative, which saw Sam Wilson assume the mantle of Captain America in 2014.{{sfn|Rizzo|Licari|2021|pp=172, 176}} This was followed by a run written by [[Nick Spencer]] beginning in 2016, in which Captain America was replaced by a version of himself later known as "Hydra Supreme", loyal to the villainous organization [[Hydra (comics)|Hydra]], culminating in the 2017 crossover event ''[[Secret Empire (2017 comic)|Secret Empire]]''.{{sfn|Rizzo|Licari|2021|p=180}} As part of Marvel's [[Fresh Start (comics)|Fresh Start]] rebrand in 2018, a new ''Captain America'' series written by [[Ta-Nehisi Coates]] with art by [[Leinil Francis Yu]] was published from 2018 to 2021.<ref name="CoatesBegin"/><ref name="CoatesEnd"/> A volume of ''Captain America'' written by [[J.
