Marvel released interior pages for Captain America #2, along with an interview with writer Chip Zdarsky, that reveals more about David Colton. “David is a Captain America lost to time, coming to life in a post-9/11 world. And now Steve Rogers, his hero, is back and under David’s command. He’s finally meeting his hero. They say to never meet your heroes,” Zdarsky said. “It’s been really challenging and satisfying working out David’s story and how a modern world and war would affect someone taking on this mantle. It’s been especially satisfying writing Steve, seeing this new world through David’s eyes, and what it means for his journey.”
Steve Rogers and David Colton are part of a team infiltrating Latveria to rescue diplomats being held prisoner by Doctor Doom. The opening arc of Captain America is set in the past, but the events will set the stage for upcoming stories once we jump back to the present day. “Latveria is a problem, and Doom’s shadow is long,” teased Zdarsky.
The preview pages show a full-grown David Colton relaxing on an army jeep while one of his comrades gets a shave from one of the locals. David is wearing his green Captain America costume, which is also highlighted when he and Steve jump out of a plane together on another page. Steve is wearing a new stealth suit, since it doesn’t make much sense to sneak into another country while wearing the colors of the United States of America.
