Comics - J. Michael Straczynski returns to Marvel in Captain America #1

By Mulder, 02 june 2023

Announced earlier by io9, acclaimed writer and filmmaker J. Michael Stracyznski will make his celebrated return to Marvel Comics this September in Captain America #1!  Stracyznski has written fan-favorite stories including Amazing Spider-man and Thor, and now he’s ready to embark on a new adventure with Marvel’s star-spangled hero! Alongside superstar artist Jesús Saiz (Punisher, Doctor Strange), the talented duo is ready to take Steve Rogers on an exhilarating new adventure.

Decades ago, Steve Rogers changed the world forever. Now powerful and insidious forces are assembling to ensure he never does it again. Past, present and future collide as the man out of time reckons with an existential threat determined to set the world on a darker path at any cost… 

Speaking with io9, Straczynski says, “Overall, the goal is to do some really challenging stories, some really fun stories, and get inside Steve’s head to see who he really is in ways that may not have been fully explored before. If folks like what I did with Peter in Amazing Spider-man, and Thor in, well… Thor, then they should give this a shot, because I’m really swinging for the bleachers in this one!”
