Out of the ice and into the fire! Eisner-nominated writer Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and superstar artist Valerio Schiti (Avengers) launch an all-new run of CAPTAIN AMERICA this July, and today, fans can see all the covers for the highly anticipated debut issue.

The upcoming run opens with an adventure set just after Steve Rogers emerged from frozen suspended animation, but before he joined the Avengers. Returning to this pivotal moment in Marvel Comics history will reveal developments that will forever alter how the world views Captain America’s legacy. Following this game-changing arc, the series will shift to the present-day where Captain America will deal with a new threat tied to this earlier secret conflict.

Main covers come from acclaimed artist Ben Harvey while variant covers come from series artist Schiti, who also contributes a Design Variant Cover showcasing Cap’s new suit, along with superstar artists Frank Miller, and Pablo Villalobos. Series writer Chip Zdarsky also delivers a bold variant cover of his own.

In addition, get patriotic with a Hidden Gem cover featuring John Romita Sr.’s iconic artwork from Marvel’s 1976 Bicentennial Calendar as well as Luciano Vecchio’s recreation of the classic art in a 250th Homage Variant Cover. A Hidden Gem variant cover by John Romita Jr. is also available. Plus, Nick Bradshaw takes inspiration from a bygone era with one of the month’s eye-catching Retrovision Covers. And the latest Marvel Rivals Variant Cover by NetEase Games spotlights artwork of Captain America’s design from the hit game.

Zdarsky told Newsarama in a recent interview:

I’m having a blast,” “I’ve got the same feeling as I did when I started Daredevil, where each issue felt incredibly special, so I hope people feel the same way when they finally get to read it. Our first arc may be set in the past but it’s going to reveal some huge things that will affect the book going forward.”
