FIRST LOOK: Captain America Corps #1!

Funny story, a few weeks ago I was talking to someone of twitter about what would be done when Steve Rogers took back the name and costume of Captain America. I joked that Bucky would also be Captain America, but would then franchise the name out to others, much like a certain Grant Morrison-penned series over at the Distinguished Competition. It was a silly and snarky joke to make, but it seems it actually had a bit of merit, because we’re getting a book titled Captain America Corps! Granted, from the looks of these preview pages, the Captains all come from different points in the timestream,so it’s not exactly the same. Plus, Roger Stern always gets the benefit of the doubt from me. If nothing else, I want to pick this up just to see why the Watcher looks so bored!

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Captain America Corps #1 (of 5), from legendary writer Roger Stern and artist Philippe Briones. When bedlam breaks loose in a dystopic America, the Watcher calls together the nation’s greatest team to save our nation and the world! Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, U.S.Agent, American Dream, and Commander A must band together to cut the American public loose from the malicious control of Americommand. But can the Sentinel of Libertys, led by Steve and Bucky, work with one another before it’s too late?  Find out this June when Captain America Corps #1 (of 5) hits comic shops everywhere.
