For the past couple of years, Captain America has been in a very dark place. Revealed as a Hydra agent thanks to the machinations of a Cosmic Cube wielding Red Skull, Steve Rogers has become a villain with Secret Empire delving into the formerly patriotic Avenger's attempt to control of the Marvel Universe.
Well, it appears as if Marvel will be taking Cap back to basics this November as it's been revealed that the Eisner Award-winning team of writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee (who paired up on Daredevil and Black Widow) are coming together to take over the series from issue #695. It's also been made official by Waid himself that it's going to be Steve Rogers who is suited up as Captain America.
"Steve is kind of tired of being the couch-surfer of the Marvel Universe, he’s never really had a place to call his own other than Avengers Mansion," Waid explains, promising an epic road trip. "This is him getting back in touch with Captain America, learning how people perceive Captain America in light of Secret Empire." He went on to add we're getting the "Steve Rogers that we know and love."
Based on their work in Daredevil, this creative team is going to be just what Captain America needs in the wake of Secret Empire. It's good to see Cap back in the classic costume with his original shield!
