Marvel Comics is set to reboot its Captain America monthly series with a fresh creative team and a captivating new storyline. This revitalized series will delve into Steve Rogers' early days post-thaw, even showcasing his very first encounter with Doctor Doom.
As announced at the ComicsPro retailer convention, the new series will be penned by Chip Zdarsky (Batman, Daredevil) and illustrated by Valerio Schiti (G.O.D.S., The Avengers), with colors by Frank D'Armata. This marks a reunion for the trio, who previously collaborated on Marvel's 2017 2-in-One.

The narrative kicks off shortly after Steve's rediscovery and reintegration into the modern 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 contemporary Marvel events, this initial arc's impact will resonate throughout Zdarsky and Schiti's ongoing story.
Zdarsky stated, "Being a lifelong Captain America fan, writing the grizzled, older Cap in Avengers: Twilight was amazing. Now, writing the actual Captain America title feels surreal! We're exploring Cap's early modern-era experiences with a surprising twist! I'm thrilled, especially with Valerio and Frank's exceptional art!"
He continued, "My approach mirrors my Daredevil run – a grounded, human perspective on Cap in this new world. Steve Rogers embodies the best of humanity, and I aim to capture that essence on every page."
Schiti shared, "Captain America is a personal favorite. Reuniting with Chip and Frank after Marvel 2-In-One is fantastic. We're crafting a story that balances heart, action, and entertainment perfectly! Surprisingly, I found myself focusing more on Steve Rogers, the man, rather than just Captain America."
He added, "Chip's script is brilliantly compelling; readers will connect deeply with Steve's heart and soul. He's the living 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.
