EXCLUSIVE: Captain America: Steve Rogers #12 Marvel Preview

Captain America might have gained a new ally in Helmut Zemo, but unbeknownst to him, he's also gained a new adversary.

That would be The Taskmaster, who happened upon the knowledge of Steve Rogers Hydra affiliation. In Captain America: Steve Rogers #12, he'll look to utilize that knowledge to his utmost benefit, and it will include a certain former director of SHIELD.

In ComicBook.com's exclusive preview of the issue, Maria Hill is looking for a way back in, and while dealing with people like Taskmaster and The Black Ant might not be the most ethical way to do it, it might provide her with her best chance to reclaim her once lofty position.

Elsewhere in the issue, Erik Selvig isn't exactly keen on working with Helmut Zemo. Who knew that being dragged up a mountain against your will would sour a friendship? Oh, wait, everyone knows that, so he's just a jerk.

While Captain America is currently leading SHIELD, he's slowly revealing more vulnerabilities in his quest to unseat The Red Skull as the head of Hydra. Ulysses might be gone, but Taskmaster and Helmut might be the tipping points that knock his precarious house of cards down for the count, and that's not to mention the Red Skull if he finds out about Cap's plan.

Captain America: Steve Rogers #12 is written by Nick Spencer with art by Javier Pina. Paul Renaud provided teh issue's cover. You can find the official solicitation below, and make sure to check out the exclusive preview in the gallery.
