[Super Hero News] Marvel Announces New CAPTAIN AMERICA & BUCKY Series

 

Marvel Announces New CAPTAIN AMERICA & BUCKY Series

Brubaker, Andreyko and Samnee Join Forces in July

Two Marvel icons fight side-by-side once more as Captain America
becomes Captain America And Bucky #620, co-written by Eisner Award
winners Ed Brubaker (Captain America) and Marc Andreyko (Batman: Streets
of Gotham) with art by acclaimed illustrator Chris Samnee (Thor: The
Mighty Avenger) for only $2.99! From the trenches of Nazi-occupied
Europe to the halls of Avengers Tower, Bucky Barnes has seen it all!
Now, learn the whole truth about this life spent in the crosshairs - and
the secrets of a future primed to explode like a powder keg.

"What was Cap like in the early days, before WWII started? This is a
question I've wanted to explore for years. And of course, the whole
series ties directly into what's going on in Captain America and Fear
Itself, and sets up future plans for [CLASSIFIED]," said Brubaker.
"Getting to work with Marc and Chris, of course, is the cherry on top,
since they're both doing brilliant work here."

Co-writer Andreyko explained, "Getting to explore unseen pieces of
Bucky's history, from WWII through today, is an absolute blast. Being
able to contribute to the Captain America legacy is an honor and a
privilege and I can't wait to see the readers' reactions!"

There's a similar thrill for artist Chris Samnee, who revealed, "The
scripts I've gotten from Ed and Marc so far have been outstanding. I'm
doing everything I can to live up to all the work they're putting into
these scripts and pushing myself to make these pages the absolute best
work I can muster. And having Bettie Breitweiser handling colors on
these issues really take my stuff to another level. She's an amazing
talent and I couldn't be happier with the pages I've seen from her so
far."

Some heroes are born great and others made great. But a select few must
go through hell before they discover what kind of hero they can be. Can
Bucky find his place in the Marvel Universe before his past finds him
first? Leap into battle with the man who would be the Winter Solder this
July when Captain America And Bucky #620 opens a whole new chapter in
the history of both Fighting Avengers!
