Joss Whedon Returns to Marvel Comics to Tell a New CAPTAIN AMERICA Story
As many of you already know, Joss Whedon worked with Marvel Comics writing a run of Astonishing X-Men that brought Colossus back and introduced several other X-Men characters. He’s done a good amount of work for the company in past, and now he’s coming back to write another comic for them to celebrate Captain America’s 75th anniversary.
ComicBook.com confirmed with Marvel that Whedon will be re-teaming with John Cassaday, who worked with the writer on reviving Astonishing X-Men. The report gives the following information:
Appearing in Captain America: Sam Wilson #7, the two will tell an all-new story celebrating the legacy and legend of Captain America. The issue will also feature a main story from series creative team Nick Spencer & Daniel Acuna, and another backup by Greg Rucka & Mike Perkins.
This wouldn’t be Cassaday’s first time working with Cap either. He did the art for an issue of Fallen Son: The Death Of Captain America as well as a Captain America limited series with John Ney Riber.
Captain America: Sam Rogers #7 has a final order cutoff date of March 7th, and the issue will be released in comic shops on March 30th.
I’m just happy to see Whedon getting back in on some Marvel action. I’m still waiting to see what he decides to do for his next film project, though.
