Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti are set to introduce a new chapter in the Captain America comic series with the release of Captain America #1, scheduled for July 2.

What’s Happening:

  • Writer Chip Zdarsky made a surprise appearance at Marvel Comics' ComicsPro presentation to announce that he will be starting a new run of Captain America this July, partnering with artist Valerio Schiti.
  • Zdarsky, after his Eisner-nominated run on Daredevil, teams up with Schiti, celebrated for his remarkable work on Avengers and G.O.D.S., to reshape the narrative surrounding Captain America.
  • Their groundbreaking new series delves into a rarely explored period after Captain America was revived from suspended animation following World War II, but before he joined the Avengers.
  • This story reveals Steve Rogers' first mission upon rejoining the U.S. Army, where he is tasked with infiltrating Latveria, leading to his initial, previously undocumented encounter with Doctor Doom.
  • The plot is filled with meaningful reflections on Captain America's legacy, showcasing his awareness of the significant changes in the world during his absence.
  • This covert operation will have enduring consequences as the series progresses into modern-day tales.
  • Additionally, readers can look forward to Captain America sporting a new stealth uniform and leading an updated team of Howling Commandos.
  • As Captain America lay frozen in ice, the world underwent significant transformations, both positive and negative.
  • Upon his awakening, he discovers a reality where conflicts are waged in secrecy and deception, making it difficult to discern true villains.
  • With the rise of a nascent dictator, Victor Von Doom, who has taken control of Latveria, Steve is confronted with a pivotal choice: to adapt to this new form of warfare or to carve out his own direction.
  • The repercussions of his past decisions will profoundly influence his future.

 What They’re Saying:

  • Chip Zdarsky: “I’ve been a massive Captain America fan for decades. I loved writing the grizzled, older Cap in Avengers: Twilight, so getting to write the actual CAPTAIN AMERICA title feels like a dream! We’re exploring Cap’s early days in the modern era with a twist that I think is going to really surprise readers! I’m pretty excited to get this out there in the world, especially with Valerio and Frank’s amazing art!
  • Valerio Schiti: “Captain America is one of my all-time favorites. I'm reuniting with Chip Zdarsky and Frank D'Armata after the amazing experience of Marvel 2-In-One, and I'm working on a story that strikes the perfect balance between heart, action and entertainment! But the thing that is most exciting and unexpected is that I found myself thinking more and more about Steve Rogers, instead of just Captain America.
  • Valerio Schiti: “Chip's script is so clever and compelling that I’m sure readers will be dragged with us inside Steve's heart and soul. He’s a man that became the living embodiment of truth, justice and freedom. He fought a war against Nazism, ‘died’ in that war, and came back to life to do his duty and fight again. That’s a lot of pressure, and if you do the math, he’s only in this late twenties in the era we’re exploring!"
