CAPTAIN AMERICA AND BUCKY #620

Rob

Two Marvel icons fight side-by-side once more as Captain  America
becomes Captain America And Bucky #620, co-written by Eisner Award
winners Ed Brubaker (Captain America) and Marc Andreyko (Batman:
Streets of Gotham) with art by acclaimed illustrator Chris Samnee
(Thor: The Mighty Avenger) for only $2.99! From the trenches of
Nazi-occupied Europe to the halls of Avengers Tower, Bucky Barnes has
seen it all! Now, learn the whole truth about this life spent in the
crosshairs – and the secrets of a future primed to explode like a
powder keg.

“What was Cap like in the early days, before WWII started? This is a
question I’ve wanted to explore for years.  And of course, the whole
series ties directly into what’s going on in Captain America and Fear
Itself, and sets up future plans for [CLASSIFIED],” said Brubaker.
“Getting to work with Marc and Chris, of course, is the cherry on top,
since they’re both doing brilliant work here.”

Co-writer Andreyko explained, “Getting to explore unseen pieces of
Bucky’s history, from WWII through today, is an absolute blast. Being
able to contribute to the Captain America legacy is an honor and a
privilege and I can’t wait to see the readers’ reactions!”

There’s a similar thrill for artist Chris Samnee, who revealed, “The
scripts I’ve gotten from Ed and Marc so far have been outstanding.
I’m doing everything I can to live up to all the work they’re putting
into these scripts and pushing myself to make these pages the absolute
best work I can muster. And having Bettie Breitweiser handling colors
on these issues really take my stuff to another level. She’s an
amazing talent and I couldn’t be happier with the pages I’ve seen from
her so far.”

Some heroes are born great and others made great. But a select few
must go through hell before they discover what kind of hero they can
be. Can Bucky find his place in the Marvel Universe before his past
finds him first? Leap into battle with the man who would be the Winter
Solder this July when Captain America And Bucky #620 opens a whole new
chapter in the history of both Fighting Avengers!

Marvel Announces Brubaker & McNiven’s CAPTAIN AMERICA #1
New Ongoing Series Begins In July Featuring Marvel’s First Avenger

New York, NY – April 4, 2011— Marvel Entertainment is proud to announce Captain America #1, the first issue of an all new ongoing series premiering in July from two of the comic industry’s most acclaimed creators—writer Ed Brubaker (Death of Captain America) and artist Steve McNiven (Civil War)!

Steve Rogers is back as Captain America but when a mysterious figure from his past returns with the Sentinel of Liberty in his crosshairs, deadly secrets will surface—and send shockwaves through the lives of everyone Steve holds dear. An all-new, high octane Captain America series begins here, just in time for the First Avenger’s highly anticipated feature film from Marvel Studios.

“I gave myself a few challenges for this new #1 – I wanted to do the perfect Cap comic for anyone who walks out of the Cap movie and wants to know what’s next, but it also had to build on everything I’ve done on the book beforehand, too, and feel like the natural next step,” explained Brubaker. “Thank God Brevoort wrangled me Steve McNiven to pull all this off. Steve is at the top of his game, and no one draws action like him. I can’t wait for these issues to start coming out.”

McNiven revealed, “Captain America has been a character I’ve wanted to work on in more depth since Civil War, a real icon of the Marvel Universe. Not only do I get to run with Cap, but Ed Brubaker, a guy who has redefined the character at Marvel, is writing the books and he’s come up with an absolutely brilliant storyline that I can’t wait for folks to read.”

Perfect for readers new and old alike, the extra-sized Captain America #1 kicks off the next big chapter in the life of Steve Rogers, courtesy of superstars Ed Brubaker and Steve McNiven!
