Marvel Comics has released a trailer for Captain America: Steve Rogers, the controversial series from writer Nick Spencer and artist Jesus Saiz, rolled out at the start of the publisher's latest line-wide publishing relaunch, "Marvel NOW!" (No, not that Marvel NOW!, the other Marvel NOW!.)

You can check out the trailer above and the official description for the first trade paperback, titled Hail Hydra, below.

It's the story that shocked the world. Captain America is an agent of Hydra?! Now – superstar creators Nick Spencer and Jesus Saiz bring you the next thrilling chapter in their Captain America epic. It's all happening in "Hail Hydra" – a new story arc kicking off in Captain America: Steve Rogers #7. Available in comic stores everywhere, Marvel is pleased to present a special launch trailer for this blockbuster new story arc!

As Hydra's tentacles slowly tighten around the Marvel Universe, Steve Rogers machinations are just beginning! S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming apart at the seams. The Red Skull marches across Europe with an army at his back. Captain America can only sit back and smile – everything is going according to plan. But what is his mysterious endgame? The pieces are falling in to place, be there for the next shocking chapter!

After years of upheaval, Steve Rogers was expected to be a return to the status quo for the title character, donning the Captain America costume and codename again and recovering from a then-recent ailment that had left his body aged and unable to keep fighting on the front lines.

Captain America: Steve Rogers #7 and Captain America: Steve Rogers #8 are both available digitally through the Marvel Digital Comic Shop and at all local comic book retailers. To find a comic shop near you, visit www.comicshoplocator.com or call 1-888-comicbook.
