Marvel Comics is kicking off a whole new chapter in the life of Captain America.

The new series will be written by acclaimed Daredevil and Batman scribe Chip Zdarsky and feature art by the critically acclaimed Valerio Schiti. This new series is set to take place not long after Steve Rogers was freed from his time spent frozen in suspended animation, but before he joined the ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

As explained in the announcement from Marvel Comics, "While Captain America slumbered in ice, the world changed - for better and for worse. Steve Rogers awakens to a reality where battles are fought in the shadows through secrets and subterfuge, and villains aren't so easy to identify. When a fledgling dictator named Victor Von Doom conquers Latveria, Steve faces a critical decision: adapt to a new kind of warfare, or forge his own path? And what will the choice he makes in the past mean for his future? Experience the untold tale of Captain America's first encounter with Doctor Doom!"
Zdarsky himself opened up about the new series in a recent interview, promising fans that he is "having a blast" with Captain America. "I’ve got the same feeling as I did when I started Daredevil," Zdarsky added, "Where each issue felt incredibly special, so I hope people feel the same way when they finally get to read it. Our first arc may be set in the past but it’s going to reveal some huge things that will affect the book going forward."
