Like I said, the development and event of this book are not going to be contained within the covers of just Captain America: Steve Rogers. This is an all-in storyline featuring some of the coolest characters from Cap's history and we're taking it seriously. All I can say is there's a reason that it's the next cover. What's more deep cover than the most trusted superhero in the universe operating with an ulterior motive? A sinister agenda? You don't have to search far and wide to start seeing the topical things we're dealing with right now in this post-9/11 world.ĬB: The book already has a great supporting cast, but will we feel this in other corners of the Marvel Universe?ĬB: The cover to issue #3 seems to show some strife between Zemo and Skull, will Skull have to fend off bad guys and good guys?ĪA: Well, they certainly do look to be having some strife from that cover. I think first and foremost that that's part of the experience of reading Captain America from here on in is that this is a book that's really, really fertile ground for exploring the story of a deep-cover operative. Our writer, Nick Spencer, was selected as the writer of this book for a lot of reasons, one of which is the fact that he is very well read on history and on politics, and he's not afraid to tackle some of these issues in the course of our book. That type of character is going to deal with themes and problems that are different from, say, the Incredible Hulk or even Spider-Man. You're going to be rewarded as we peel back the layers of this.ĬB: What kind of things can you do from a storytelling standpoint with the notion that a reader knows something the characters don't?ĪA: This book features a character dressed in red, white and blue. This isn't the time or the place for us to be explaining what the Red Skull's been up to. Issue two is going to blow people's minds. Obviously, there's a lot for people to process. We want this read to be immersive and for readers' questions to be explained in due time. Are there plans in the story to tell readers where he's been since we last saw him?ĪA: All I'll say is all will be revealed. That's a story that Nick wanted to tell, and that's a story that's going to be fascinating for the next two months and a story that's going to build to big, big things within the Marvel universe as well.ĬB: We also get the reveal that the Red Skull is back. ![]() He is operating with a different and sinister intent now and every interaction that we see from here on in will be shaded by that. Captain America, one of the most trusted superheroes in the Marvel universe, is not exactly who you think he is. I think that they key thing was that in order to tell the story that Nick wants to tell, we needed readers to know that which our heroes don't know. AA: It was a consideration but it wasn't the only thing. ![]()
