Marvel Comics to Relaunch Captain America With Batman Writer Chip Zdarsky

Marvel Comics is set to launch a revamped Captain America monthly series. This new iteration boasts a fresh creative team and storyline, focusing on Steve Rogers' early experiences post-thawing. A pivotal event showcased will be Captain America's very first confrontation with Doctor Doom.

As announced at the ComicsPro convention, Chip Zdarsky (known for his work on Batman and Daredevil) will pen the series, with Valerio Schiti (G.O.D.S., The Avengers) providing art and Frank D'Armata handling colors. This trio previously collaborated on Marvel's 2017 2-in-One.

The narrative commences shortly after Steve Rogers' 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 settings, the initial arc's events will significantly impact the overarching storyline.

Zdarsky stated, "I've been a huge Captain America fan for years. After writing the older Cap in Avengers: Twilight, writing the main Captain America title is a dream! We're exploring Cap's early modern-era adventures with a surprising twist! I'm thrilled, especially with Valerio and Frank's incredible artwork!"

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 showcase that on every page."

Schiti commented, "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 action, emotion, and entertainment perfectly! Surprisingly, I found myself focusing more on Steve Rogers, the man, rather than just Captain America."

Schiti added, "Chip's script is brilliant and engaging; readers will connect with Steve's inner struggles. 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 the era we're depicting!"

Captain America #1 is slated for release on July 2nd, 2025.
