Captain America Returns with Zdarsky at the Helm!

Marvel Comics is set to launch a revamped Captain America monthly series. This new iteration features a fresh creative team and storyline focusing on Steve Rogers' early days post-thawing. A key plot point will be Cap's very first encounter with Doctor Doom.

As announced at the ComicsPro convention, Chip Zdarsky (known for his work on Batman and Daredevil) will write, Valerio Schiti (G.O.D.S., The Avengers) will provide the art, and Frank D'Armata will handle the colors. This trio previously collaborated on Marvel's 2017 2-in-One.

The series begins shortly after Steve's rediscovery in the modern Marvel Universe. His initial mission, following his re-enlistment in the US Army, involves teaming up with the Howling Commandos to infiltrate a Latveria recently seized by a young, ambitious Doctor Doom. While the narrative will eventually transition to the present-day Marvel setting, this initial arc's events will significantly impact the overall story.

Zdarsky stated, "Being a lifelong Captain America fan, writing the actual Captain America title is a dream come true! We're exploring Cap's early modern-era experiences with a surprising twist. I'm thrilled, especially with Valerio and Frank's incredible artwork!" He further explained his approach, aiming for a grounded, human portrayal of Cap in this new world, emphasizing Steve Rogers' inherent goodness.

Schiti expressed his excitement at reuniting with Zdarsky and D'Armata, highlighting the story's balance of action, heart, and entertainment. He noted a surprising focus on Steve Rogers the man, rather than solely Captain America, driven by Zdarsky's compelling script. Schiti emphasized the immense pressure on Rogers, considering his experiences and relatively young age in this era.
