This issue continues the "day in the life" theme of the last one, set against the background of the illness of Jeff Mace, former hero known as the Patriot and the second man to serve as Captain America after the "death" of Steve Rogers in 1945.

This issue is the first of two "day in the life" issues, with Captain America dealing with more down-to-earth problems in both his professional and personal lives.

This issue of Captain America concludes the storyline with Baron Zemo that started in issue #276, although it leaves one thread to be resolved in the next issue (as we'll see on the final page of the main story).
