Several weeks ago Johnston was asked about the fear of the possible appearance of Sub-Mariner and The Invaders overwhelming Steve Rogers' storyline.

"That talk about Sub-Mariner is just that...talk," says Johnston. "The Invaders make a memorable appearance but the story is solidly about Steve Rogers, his origins, and how he becomes Captain America."
