Marvel Announces Brubaker & McNiven's CAPTAIN AMERICA #1
New Ongoing Series Begins In July Featuring Marvel's First Avenger
New York, NY - April 4, 2011- Marvel Entertainment is proud to announce
Captain America #1, the first issue of an all new ongoing series
premiering in July from two of the comic industry's most acclaimed
creators-writer Ed Brubaker (Death of Captain America) and artist Steve
McNiven (Civil War)!
Steve Rogers is back as Captain America but when a mysterious figure
from his past returns with the Sentinel of Liberty in his crosshairs,
deadly secrets will surface-and send shockwaves through the lives of
everyone Steve holds dear. An all-new, high octane Captain America
series begins here, just in time for the First Avenger's highly
anticipated feature film from Marvel Studios.
"I gave myself a few challenges for this new #1 - I wanted to do the
perfect Cap comic for anyone who walks out of the Cap movie and wants to
know what's next, but it also had to build on everything I've done on
the book beforehand, too, and feel like the natural next step,"
explained Brubaker. "Thank God Brevoort wrangled me Steve McNiven to
pull all this off. Steve is at the top of his game, and no one draws
action like him. I can't wait for these issues to start coming out."
McNiven revealed, "Captain America has been a character I've wanted to
work on in more depth since Civil War, a real icon of the Marvel
Universe. Not only do I get to run with Cap, but Ed Brubaker, a guy who
has redefined the character at Marvel, is writing the books and he's
come up with an absolutely brilliant storyline that I can't wait for
folks to read."
Perfect for readers new and old alike, the extra-sized Captain America
#1 kicks off the next big chapter in the life of Steve Rogers, courtesy
of superstars Ed Brubaker and Steve McNiven!
