Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson will share the mantle of Captain America this spring, with their adventures beginning in Captain America #0. Two new titles will be launched: Steve Rogers in Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty by writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and Marvel Stormbreaker artist Carmen Carnero, and Sam Wilson in Captain America: Symbol of Truth by writer Tochi Onyebuchi and Marvel Stormbreaker artist R.B. Silva. Before the sister series' kick off, Captain America #0 by Onyebuchi, Kelly, Lanzing, and artist Mattia De Iulis on April 20th will set the stage for both heroes' solo adventures.
A preview of Captain America #0 features the return of Arnim Zola, who is being dubbed "The Bio-Fanatic" by one of the writers. "You can see in the #0 issue that we're getting to play with our favorite scientist, Arnim Zola, THE BIO-FANATIC!" Kelly told CBR in an exclusive interview. "That's a really fun touchstone for us, but what we wanted to do is introduce a new cast of villains. These villains pulling the strings have their own personalities and motivations and they command a force unlike any Captain America has ever seen. That includes lieutenants, generals, and power players. They are critical players in the history of the Marvel Universe, American history, and the world history of the last hundred years.
"We're giving those characters individual identities that will allow them to stand on their own. So, if and when we do bring in some more of these legacy villains, we want them to be able to stand toe-to-toe with Doctor Doom... These will be characters that Doom also knows of and is reluctant to cross."
