Visionary writer J. Michael Straczynski continues his blockbuster era of CAPTAIN AMERICA!

New information about Captain America’s recent attacker — a mysterious figure known only as the Emissary — has Steve Rogers, Misty Knight and Sharon Carter scrambling to protect a peace rally from being this new foe’s next target. But how can masters of physical and mental might defend against the supernatural prowess of an ancient evil? Get ready for a fight to the death as Cap races to take down the Emissary before he strikes again! Will an assist from Doctor Strange be enough to turn the tide? Plus: Steve Rogers meets a strange new ally named Lyla, guardian of the mysterious Front Door Cabaret!

COLLECTING: Captain America (2023) 5-8
Writer J. Michael Straczynski made pop-culture history with the epic TV series Babylon 5. In 1999, Straczynski penned Top Cow’s Rising Stars, leading to an offer from Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man, a title he revolutionized. “JMS” went on to write Supreme Power, Fantastic Four, Bullet Points, The Twelve and a fan-favorite revival of Thor. The latter helped inspire Marvel’s Thor feature film, on which he shares a writing credit. JMS’ screenplay for Changeling was directed by Clint Eastwood and starred Angelina Jolie, while his other movie credits include Underworld: Awakening and World War Z. For DC Comics, he has written iconic characters Superman and Wonder Woman.

Carlos Magno’s Marvel work includes Thunderbolts, Guardians of the Galaxy and Fantastic Four. Among his credits for DC are stints on Manhunter, Cyborg and the Tangent-imprint title Superman’s Reign. In addition, Magno has tackled iconic properties including King Kong, Planet of the Apes, Transformers, Robocop and Clive Barker’s Hellraiser.
