“United States of Captain America” is a story of Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson also formerly Captain America going on a cross-country adventure in search of Cap’s shield which has been stolen. Along the way, the creative promises to show readers and the two Captains the impact Cap has on the lives of Americans. This will also introduce audience to different versions of Captain Americas operating independently and without Rogers’ knowledge including Aaron Fischer also known as the Captain America of the Railways.

This new Captain America is described as a “a fearless teen who stepped up to protect fellow runaways and the unhoused”. Marvel also timed to announcement and release of the book for Pride Month, to symbolize the arrival of a new LGBTQ+ hero. And as an added bonus, there will be a backup story for issue 1 which will be written by Joshua Trujillo and Jan Bazaldua which will explain the origins and introduce these new characters.

 

“Aaron is inspired by heroes of the queer community: activists, leaders, and everyday folks pushing for a better life,” Trujillo explained. “He stands for the oppressed, and the forgotten. I hope his debut story resonates with readers, and helps inspire the next generation of heroes.”

“I want to thank Editor Alanna Smith and Joshua Trujillo very much for asking me to create Aaron,” Bazaldua said. “I really enjoyed designing him, and as a transgender person, I am happy to be able to present an openly gay person who admires Captain America and fights against evil to help those who are almost invisible to society. While I was drawing him, I thought, well, Cap fights against super-powerful beings and saves the world almost always, but Aaron helps those who walk alone in the street with problems that they face every day. I hope people like the end result!”
