2022 looks set to kick off a new era for Captain America as Marvel Comics will launch two new ongoing titles. The first, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty, comes from writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and artist Carmen Carnero with the focus put on Steve Rogers. In Captain America: Symbol of Truth, by writer Tochi Onyebuchi and artist R.B. Silva, it will be Sam Wilson's time to shine.

The journeys of both shield bearers will begin in April's Captain America #0 where they will team up after an explosive attack by Arnim Zola. You can take a sneak peek at the action that awaits in a celebratory new announcement trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork.
 


"Issue #0 is effectively a conversation between Steve and Sam about what it means for both of them to be Captain America simultaneously," Lanzing explained to Entertainment Weekly earlier today. "But that conversation isn't had in a room sitting down over beers, that conversation is had while flying/holding onto the side of a massive rocket heading into the sky to obliterate all of mankind because Arnim Zola is back and he's got a bad plan."

"We've seen Sam Wilson deal with the legacy of Captain America and race in very inward terms with regards to America: What does it mean for America to accept a Black Captain America?" Onyebuchi adds of his ambitious plans for the former Falcon. "One of the things I'm teasing in my book is, what does it mean for the rest of the world to accept a Black Captain America?"

I’m so over the ‘WHAT IF BLACK MAN A SUPERHERO IN COMIC BOOK????’ fad. Just make good stories and that’s all that matters. Nobody gives a [frick] about Sam’s race or how the ‘world will react to a black Captain America.’ He’s black, he’s Captain America. That’s the furthest that shit needs to go.

@Origame - No he doesn’t or he would read the book first. Every Cap story with Sam isn’t just what if superhero was black.

@suitekid - it's called trends. We've been getting countless stories with Sam cap that have been just that.

@Kurban - A lot of people care about Sam's ethnicity and skin tone. It's called inclusion. Just because you can't relate to it doesn't mean "Nobody gives a [frick]." That way of speaking, acting, and thinking is exactly why these stories exist. Because folks like you have issues with stories like this existing. He's black is the furthest it should go but here you are making it go further....

@SonOfAGif - Well said.

@suitekid - That’s literally what the writer said it would be about, focusing specifically on his race. Or did you not even read the article?

@Benjamitesandwich - @SonOfAGif - It's not well said because he's wrong. The only people who care about Sam's race are actual racists who can't see past skin color. Sam Wilson is a good, classic character who happens to be black. This obsession with making every story starring a black character ABOUT being black is pathetic. As if that's the only [frick]ing story black characters can have anymore is about their identity. What are his personal struggles BEYOND his [frick]ing skin pigmentation?

And you apologists keep sticking up for this tripe like a broken record player, as if nothing Marvel does can be bad. To say nothing of the idea that Sam Wilson keeps returning to the mantle and ignoring his own moniker of Falcon as if it's not as good as Captain America isn't a racist enough idea on its own. It's pathetic. Stop giving Marvel the benefit of the doubt on this shit, they're only doing it to pander to the current political climate and score clicks on news sites.

@Benjamitesandwich - I never said I didn't, dunderhead. I DO care about the integrity of Marvel comics and the state it's in absolutely infuriates and disheartens me.

@Kurban - I've learned in my lifetime that those who claim people who seek inclusion are racists are indeed the ones who are the real racists. Look at what you're doing. You're upset that a Black character's focal point is his skin tone and how that affects him taking up the mantle of Captain America within society. Then have the audacity to call anyone who relates to the message a racist? Then you wonder why jobs are firing people like you left and right because you folks want to eliminate any platform people of color may share and relate to. You're hot and bothered because people of color love Sam Wilson's arc as Captain America because they can relate in some capacity to his struggles and it kills you because you can't relate.

@SonOfAGif - Do you see what you're typing? Look at what YOU'RE saying! YES, I'm [frick]ing upset that a black character's only defining trait is how black he is! It's insulting to think that that's all it takes anymore to make a 'good' character, especially for one that's survived as long as Falcon has! He didn't survive on his blackness, he survived on his CHARACTER! By it's very [frick]ing definition, you ARE being racist because you're so obsessed by the very superficial values of what makes a person who he or she is: skin tone. Ethnicity. To say nothing about the fact that we've SEEN this story! Literally every black character has done this story already, ten times over! Black Panther, Luke Cage, Falcon, Monica Rambeau, they've ALL had their piece said on the 'matter of race' FREQUENTLY over the past few years! To the point that it's ALL that seems to matter anymore with these characters to Marvel! Their race IS their character! Does that not seem messed up to you?

But I can see you're not a rational human being because you think I'm somehow 'eliminating' a platform for people and justifying the firing of people who are sick of this shit. You're so blinded you seriously think it's not insulting to relate to a character taking on the 'promotion,' because let's call it what you think it is, a promotion, because it's a white man's title and you can't stand a black character standing on his own in his own name without needing to take somebody else's. It's pathetic that you can't see that and think I'm somehow hating on minorities or 'eliminating platforms' for such stupid, pedantic shit. This whole thing is insulting to people of color, you dumbass!

@Kurban - Cool story bro. Continue telling us why it bothers you so much that one character's skin color being a factor in a comic run is a problem for you. Plan on typing up another documentary about it??
Kurban
Kurban - 1/19/2022, 9:56 PM
@SonOfAGif - If I feel like it, maybe. Much as Marvel keeps acting like a one-trick pony when it comes to minority characters instead of just treating them like real people. But you keep going on deepthroating the corporate line on equity, race and diversity like it isn’t a complete sham. I’ll continue waiting for quality in my entertainment. Or die waiting, I guess.

@Kurban - There is something to be said about black superheroes, and characters in general, having to carry the burden of being black and have to speak for black people as a whole, but there are stories focusing on race that deserve to be told. We haven't even read the book yet and are already critiquing it as if it's ended its run.

You know, the more I think about it the more I want Sam to go back to falcon. Remember, falcon was one of the original black superheroes in not just marvel but mainstream comics in general. This isn't a miles morales situation where he was created to be a legacy character. This would be like having tchalla become the new iron man, then arguing that's an upgrade.

Unlike MCU Cap, comic Cap didn't give up the shield like a little bitch.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 -

You mean the old man 100 year old Cap who couldn't possibly be Cap anymore passed on his shield to someone else to carry. Pretty much the exact same thing comic Cap did when he aged up into an old man.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 1/19/2022, 11:29 PM
@BuzzKillington - He chose to be an old man.

He chose to live a life he missed out on. But that doesn't change the fact that comic Cap did give up his shield.

Wonder why marvel doesnt give some characters some new names

When they gave Kamala the Ms. Marvel name they also gave Carol the Captain title

If i remember correctly they at one point considered a new name for Miles, Spy-D(bad name)

Obviously wouldnt make sense to change Sam’s name now that he is Captain America in the MCU but when Steve’s youth was restored could have called Sam something like Captain Liberty

Dc has had plenty of characters take up mantles, but usually they take up original ones eventually or the previous one is done for good
