Not content with introducing just one new Captain America of the 2000s, writer Chip Zdarsky will be bringing the title character of Marvel’s Captain America into the present in issue #6. And when Cap arrives there, he’ll meet brand new captains, including Captain Kingdom and Captain France.
Drawn by Frank Alpizar and Delio Diaz, the new characters will be heroes representing the five permanent member countries of the United Nations Security Council. Per PR from Marvel:
- CAPTAIN KINGDOM, representing United Kingdom
- CAPTAIN FRANCE, representing France
- RED WIDOW, representing Russia
- THE STAR, representing China
In the aftermath of One World Under Doom, the “United Captains” will join together to make sure Latveria doesn’t fall into chaos, though it seems like the other Captains don’t have the same motivation as our Cap.
The new characters have been designed by Valerio Schiti, and will be spotlighted on variant covers for Captain America #6-#9.
“One of the things I like most about my job is designing new characters,” Schiti said via press release. “It has always been a great hobby of mine, even before becoming a professional! I tried to incorporate some traditional symbols from the countries of origin of the new Captains into their uniforms, which are also practical and suitable for combat.”
Captain America #6 will hit stores on December 17. Check out the design sheets by Schiti, as well as covers by Ivan Tao, the synopsis, and solicit info below.
A WORLD WITHOUT DOOM!
The aftermath of One World Under Doom has brought Latveria to the brink of civil war. Captain America deploys to protect civilians and investigate rumors of a weapons stockpile—but when the United Nations Security Council adds their own loyal Super-Soldiers to the mix, it becomes clear that everyone wants a piece of Latveria—no matter the cost. With warring factions tearing the country apart and a team of Captains pursuing their own agendas, can Captain America hope to bring peace to Latveria? And is that even what his handlers want?
