Captain America Returns with Acclaimed Writer!

Marvel Comics is set to reboot its Captain America monthly series with a fresh creative team and a captivating new storyline. This narrative will delve into Steve Rogers' early experiences after his revival from suspended animation, even detailing his very first encounter with Doctor Doom.

As announced at the ComicsPro retailer convention, Chip Zdarsky (Batman, Daredevil) will pen the series, with illustrations by Valerio Schiti (G.O.D.S., The Avengers) and colors by Frank D'Armata. This marks a reunion for the trio, who previously collaborated on Marvel's 2017 2-in-One.

The series commences shortly after Steve's rediscovery and reintegration into the contemporary Marvel universe. His initial mission, following his re-enlistment in the US Army, involves a collaboration with the Howling Commandos to infiltrate a Latveria recently seized by a young, ambitious Doctor Doom. While the series will eventually transition to present-day Marvel events, the initial arc's impact will resonate throughout Zdarsky and Schiti's narrative.

Zdarsky stated, "Being a lifelong Captain America fan, after writing the older Cap in Avengers: Twilight, writing the main Captain America title feels incredible! We're exploring Cap's early modern era adventures with a surprising twist! I'm thrilled, especially with Valerio and Frank's phenomenal artwork!"

He continued, "My approach mirrors my Daredevil run, focusing on Cap's inner world, offering a grounded, human perspective. Steve Rogers embodies the best of humanity, and that will be evident on every page."

Schiti shared, "Captain America is a personal favorite. Reuniting with Chip and Frank after Marvel 2-In-One is fantastic, and this story perfectly blends heart, action, and entertainment. Surprisingly, I found myself focusing more on Steve Rogers, the man, rather than just Captain America."

Schiti added, "Chip's script is brilliantly compelling; readers will connect deeply with Steve's inner life. He's the embodiment of truth, justice, and freedom. He fought Nazism, 'died,' and returned to fight again. That's immense pressure, especially considering he's in his late twenties in this era!"

Captain America #1 launches July 2, 2025.
