Apparently writer Greg Pak (who also wrote an origin series for Magneto) is bringing us a new mini-series this July with five issues revealing the origin of Nazi comic book villain The Red Skull.

"What of Schmidt's early life, though? What kind of man was he before he met Hitler? And how did the dictator's training impact him? Writer Greg Pak and artist Mirko Colak ("Secret Warriors") will answer those questions and more in July when they kick off the five issue "Red Skull" miniseries. Announced today at WonderCon, CBR News spoke with Pak about the project, which explores the origin of the Skull and features covers by David Aja."

I wish the Cap movie would actually have Hitler appear for just at least one scene. Im sure they'll talk about him but I wish he would be on screen too

@MrNoFear I thought it was confirmed that HYDRA and Nazis were the same thing in TFA?
Anyways, this sounds great. Looking forward to checking it out.

blamerandy@ in the audio scene that came out a while ago at comicon there is a voice for hitler so most likely in that scene hitler is there and will be in the movie lol

I might check it out. But I'm not always a fan of giving orgin stories for every villian. Sometimes having a villian you know nothing about makes him scarier, and knowing his past makes him more human.

Now hopefully they will bring back the REAL Red Skull and $hitcan the sorry "sin" version they've been trying to hype lately.

Aint nothin like the real thing.
