Update: The new era of Captain America kicks off in Captain America #0, a one-shot which teams up Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson as Sam joins Steve as co-Captain America, complete with his own star-spangled shield, before splitting the two Caps off into their own respective starring titles (read more on that below).
Marvel has released a preview of interior pages for Captain America #0, with Sam and Steve teaming up against none other than classic Cap foe Arnim Zola, complete with his weirdo Silver Age style robot body.
Check out the gallery of pages right here:

Marvel Comics will kick off a new era of Captain America with a pair of upcoming titles, one of which, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty features Steve Rogers in the title role, while the other title, Captain America: Symbol of Truth returns Sam Wilson to the mantle of Captain America alongside Steve, apparently with a brand-new shield.
Captain America #0 cover by Alex Ross (Image credit: Marvel Comics)Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty will be written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, the writing team behind the recent Kang the Conqueror limited series. They’re joined by artist Carmen Carnero. Meanwhile, writer Tochi Onyebuchi and artist RB Silva will launch Captain America: Symbol of Truth.
Both titles will kick off in a single issue, Captain America #0 with covers by Alex Ross, Mark Brooks, Jim Cheung, and Cully Hamner, which goes on sale in April. In Captain America #0, Cap’s old foe Arnim Zola launches an “explosive attack” that will unite Steve and Sam as fellow shield-wielders.
Following Captain America #0, Captain America: Symbol of Truth will launch in May, with Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty subsequently launching in June.
Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson have shared the codename ‘Captain America’ on several occasions. In some cases, Wilson eventually ceded the name back to be Steve Rogers’ exclusively, but the two shared the mantle once more beginning in 2021 with The United States of Captain America – even extending it to former Caps like Bucky Barnes and John Walker, and even new homegrown heroes taking up the Captain America name, Green Lantern style.
Here’s a gallery of covers for Captain America #0, and both new titles:

If there was ever a place for Newsarama’s in-depth look at the history of Captain America’s shield or our list of the best Captain America shield-bearers of all time, this is it.
I’ve been Newsarama’s resident Marvel Comics expert and general comic book historian since 2011. I’ve also been the on-site reporter at most major comic conventions such as Comic-Con International: San Diego, New York Comic Con, and C2E2. Outside of comic journalism, I am the artist of many weird pictures, and the guitarist of many heavy riffs. (They/Them)
