Marvel Comics announces two new ongoing Captain America series, which will feature Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers using the title.
Marvel Comics has announced two new Captain America titles, which will see both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers taking on the title.
As revealed by Entertainment Weekly, a new one-shot titled Captain America #0 will release in April. The title, which will be by writers Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing and Tochi Onyebuchi and artist Mattia De Iulis, explores why there are two Captain Americas. Lanzing described the book as not a set-up for plot, but instead a conversation between Steve and Sam about what it means to be Captain America at the same time. They’ll have this conversation “while flying/holding onto the side of a massive rocket heading into the sky to obliterate all of mankind because Arnim Zola is back and he’s got a bad plan.”
Following the release of Captain America #0, the two series will launch. The first, Captain America: Symbol of Truth, comes from the team of Onyebuchi and R.B. Silva and will focus on Sam. Symbol of Truth, which releases in May, sees Sam being the “public-facing Captain America” and looking into the truth behind America’s foreign policy. According to Onyebuchi, the title will investigate what it means for “the world to accept a Black Captain America.”
“I’m a huge fan of action thrillers that involve foreign locals and all of that stuff,” Onyebuchi explained. “One of the things that Sam has to do is he has to get to the bottom of a conspiracy. He has to figure out what the truth of the matter is, he has to figure out what’s really going on. When so much of American foreign policy historically has been founded on operating in the shadows, manipulating federal employees or members of another government into enacting regime change for the benefit of various corporate interests, what is it going to look like when Sam runs up against the people who would wish to manipulate him for their own ends in terms of furthering ‘America’s interests’ abroad? What does it mean to be the ‘Symbol of Truth’ in that context?”
In June, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty will launch. Written by Kelly and Lanzing and illustrated by Carmen Carnero, Sentinel of Liberty focuses on Steve. According to Kelly, Sentinel of Liberty will look at how America has changed and what it means for Steve to be from the Greatest Generation. While he’ll still be Captain America, he will be spending quite a bit of time working as a civilian.
