Chip Zdarsky Guides Captain America Through a New Marvel Future in Avengers: Twilight (Exclusive)
ComicBook.com spoke to Chip Zdarsky about his new Marvel limited series Avengers: Twilight.
Captain America's Place in Avengers: Twilight
ComicBook.com: We've seen plenty of alternate futures in the Marvel Universe, but Avengers: Twilight seems to be centered on Steve Rogers surviving in an America he doesn't recognize anymore. Why did you want to explore this version of Marvel's future?
Chip Zdarsky: Steve is the perfect character with which to see a changed future since he's been through that experience before coming out of WW2. His ethics and morals and outlook have a consistency to them, so seeing how he reacts to a changed America is always interesting, to me at least!
And this future America is seemingly perfect, so Steve has to question whether or not to upset what his fellow Americans are comfortable with in pursuit of the truth.

Who are "The Defenders"?
A description of the series states the Avengers are no more, and many of Cap's friends are now dead. Will we get to see Cap assemble a new team of Avengers with new characters, or perhaps grown-up versions of existing characters?
I don't want to spoil anything, but Cap has to deal with new characters and old, and there's also the matter of the mysterious group called "The Defenders"...

Just Enjoy the Story
Finally, what else should fans look forward to as Avengers: Twilight's story gets going? What type of threat should we keep our eyes out for?
Don't keep your eyes out for anything! Just enjoy where the story takes you!
We live in a world where everything is picked apart and spoiled before people even read issue one, so all I'll say is, if you enjoy my work and enjoy Daniel's work, I think you'll enjoy this story of re-finding yourself.
