For the first time in a decade, J. Michael Straczynski is writing an ongoing series at Marvel. Friday, the House of Ideas unveiled the first pages of Straczynski's latest works, a reimagining of Captain America due for release later this year. Partnering with artist Jesus Saiz, the series will give readers a new look at Steve Rogers and his origin as America's first Super Soldier.
"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," Straczynski said about the series earlier this summer. "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!"
