MARVEL ANNOUNCES THE NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA!
Sam Wilson, Formerly The Falcon, is the New Captain America in
All-New Captain America #1
New York, NY – July 17th, 2014 –
Marvel is excited to announce that beginning in November 2014,
the title of Captain America will be passed to Sam Wilson, The Falcon,
in the pages of
All-New Captain America #1 by series writer Rick Remender (Captain America, Uncanny Avengers) and series artist Stuart Immonen (All-New X-Men).
Announced on “The Colbert Report” by Joe Quesada, “Sam Wilson…The Falcon, is the new Captain America.”
Addressing how Sam Wilson will follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, Steve Rogers, Remender says, “Sam wants
to lead by example. To help people see their own selfishness and
to turn it around. To build better communities, to never forget the
little guy.” Remender continues, “Sam follows his heart and
his belief in what the American dream means and
how it belongs to everyone.”
The question remains: what happens with the
original Captain America, Steve Rogers? Executive Editor Tom Brevoort
says, “Steve’s spirit is as willing as ever, but his body is no longer
up to the task of being Captain America. So he’ll employ
his skills as the new Cap’s remote strategic advisor, running Cap’s
missions from his headquarters in Avengers Mansion and providing Sam
with technical support and field information from a distance. He’ll also
tutor Sam in how to throw the shield, a skill
that’s deceptively difficult for the new Cap to master. So Steve will
continue to be a vital part of the series moving ahead.”
