Writers Tochi Onyebuchi, Collin Kelly, and Jackson Lanzing launch two new Captain America books
Ever since writer Ta-Nehisi Coates concluded his Captain America run over a year ago, there’s been a notable lack of a Captain America ongoing series. All that changes this Spring. Courtesy of an EW Exclusive, as Marvel announced a Captain America #0 one-shot which will launch two new Cap ongoing series starring Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson.
In May, Sam Wilson dons the Cap mantle once more in Captain America: Symbol of Truth, written by Tochi Onyebuchi with art by R.B. Silva. Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty, arriving the next month, will focus on original Cap Steve Rogers and will be written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing with art by Carmen Carnero.
The Captain America #0 one-shot in April, which leads into both new ongoing series, will be co-written by Kelly, Lanzing, and Onyebuchi with art by Mattia De Iulis. The one-shot will sport separate Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson covers illustrated by Alex Ross as well as a wraparound variant cover by Mark Brooks.
Lanzing teased what’s to come in the Captain America #0 one-shot including the return of villain Arnim Zola.
“What’s interesting about Captain America #0 is that, unlike a lot of zero issues, we’re not gonna spend a lot of time building the plot for both books or teasing out a bunch of amazing stuff. The issue #1’s are gonna do that. Issue #0 is effectively a conversation between Steve and Sam about what it means for both of them to be Captain America simultaneously. 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.”
In yet another instance of corporate synergy with Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, now officially taking on the Captain America mantle in the MCU at the end of the Falcon and Winter Soldier Disney+ series, it doesn’t come as a total surprise to see the comics follow suit. Onyebuchi explained how this differs from the first time Sam took up the shield almost a decade ago, and what to expect in the Symbol of Truth series.
“We have basically only touched the surface of his interaction with the Marvel Universe. There are so many characters that have yet to interact with Sam as Captain America, dynamics we haven’t yet seen. It feels like the world is my oyster. It’s been really cool exploring that with Sam, but also with Joaquín Torres, who is the Falcon in this book.
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?” 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? That’s another part of the equation. If Captain America is in many ways a mimesis of America, with all the good and bad pathologies, what does that mean for the way in which America interacts with the rest of the world?
I’m a huge fan of action thrillers that involve foreign locals and all of that stuff. One of the things that Sam has to do is he has to get to the bottom of a conspiracy. He has to figure out what the truth of the matter is, he has to figure out what’s really going on. When so much of American foreign policy historically has been founded on operating in the shadows, manipulating federal employees or members of another government into enacting regime change for the benefit of various corporate interests, what is it going to look like when Sam runs up against the people who would wish to manipulate him for their own ends in terms of furthering ‘America’s interests’ abroad? What does it mean to be the ‘Symbol of Truth’ in that context?”
Kelly meanwhile revealed what’s to come for Steve Rogers in the Sentinel of Liberty series:
“Steve is a member of the Greatest Generation. That’s so important, especially now, because he’s seen so much of the 20th century and he’s really able to weigh it. With our story, what we really wanted to start looking at was, how has America changed? What does it mean to be a patriot now? Because it means something very different, even in the last two or three years. We’ve seen a radical shift in our country and, especially for a lot of young people, a real fury and disappointment at what our country has started to do to itself. Cap can’t turn his back on America, neither of the Caps can, because the idea is good. The core is good and worth fighting for, but both need to wrestle with what that means in the year of our Lord 2022.
I think Steve has learned through the Coates run that there’s a lot of inward-looking he has to do in terms of his legacy and himself. Maybe he’s become too much Captain America and not enough Steve Rogers. In our book, he is going to be really looking at what it means to be Steve Rogers. We’ll see what it means when he finds a threat that truly needs his version of Captain America, and what he has to step up to become that. What does Captain America mean to Steve beyond being the leader of the Avengers and answering to the government? Since he feels he’s handed that off. So what is Steve building? What is he organizing? What do his friends need from him specifically? What does Bucky need from him?”
Look for Captain America #0 to arrive in stores on April 20, 2022.

If you live in any part of the United States, you may be able to order Delta 8 THC online. This is because the ingredient is made from cannabis, which is now a Schedule I drug. federally, Delta 8 THC is strictly legal! However, here’s a quick overview of how the law works: Under the 2021 Farm Bill, all hemp-related cannabis, cannabidiol (also known as CBD), and any derivative products derived from it must contain a federal form of government permission. Any company manufacturing cannabis products must register with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, which means anyone who orders from them, unless they express otherwise, will receive a government stamp of approval for the product.
Although Delta 8 THC gummy bears do not contain THC, they can still be ordered by anyone over the age of eighteen years old. However, if you are worried about consuming cannabis, or you are in serious pain, or are in a rehabilitation facility or mental health facility, you should contact your doctor before taking any medication, and he will most likely recommend that you stay away from any Delta 8 THC products, at all. On top of that, you need to be aware that smoking or eating cannabis can lead to a host of serious side effects, including the development of lungs and liver cancer. However, it is important to note that most Delta 8 THC products do not include any therapeutic value. In fact, many advocates of this cannabis extract claim that it is the safest and most effective natural remedy for any type of chronic or medical condition, including nausea, seizures, glaucoma, and more.
Two brands of Delta THC are distributed by Vapors: One brand is in a gum form, while the other is in a tasty but small cigar-like format, which is easy to carry in your pocket. Both offer a variety of different strains, which are all carefully chosen based on what works best for each individual; thus, there is no concern whatsoever about getting the wrong strain. These two products also work great as a sweetener, and some people even report that they feel more alert and energetic upon having these two products. Delta 8 Thc is an excellent choice for anyone who has been smoking pot for years, as well as anyone who simply need a boost to make them feel more alert and on top of things. If you are looking to try out cannabis, or would just like to try something different to help improve your general mood, Delta 8 THC may be just what you need to regain control of your life.
