What brings these Cap and Cap-esque characters together? What’s”Americommand? Who is this Commander A guy?
Roger Stern:
For me, it all began — as so many things have lately — with a call from Tom Brennan. Tom had been my editor on the Young Allies special and the Forever Allies miniseries, Well, I couldn’t resist a challenge like that. So, while I started making a list of Captain Americas and Cap-inspired heroes who would be interesting to assemble, I set another part of my brain to considering who or what could be responsible for bringing them together — and why. Anyway, by the time I’d figured out my cast, I also knew who was behind everything. And why. I don’t want to give too much away, but it involves persons unknown monkeying with the fabric of time in a way which specifically involves Steve Rogers, and results in profoundly altering reality.
Marvel is still putting great stuff together. This one for all the Captain America fans and those who are really fond of the old guy. Pick your copy up next week. Stay tuned comic faithful for more. 🙂 Walt
