io9 spoke to the Babylon 5 and former Amazing Spider-Man writer about his plans for Steve Rogers.
James Whitbrook, io9: Why was now the time for you to return to Marvel in an ongoing capacity, and why was Captain America the character that drew you back?Like most things, the process was incremental. It started when Wil Moss asked me to do a short piece for the big Thor anniversary issue, which ended up getting a fair bit of attention. Then he asked me to do a Thanos story forMarvel Age 1000
io9: Tell us a little bit about what you have in store for Steve in this new run. What do you want to say about Captain America?service the main character above all else. When I took on, Peter had been all but lost in a crowd of supporting characters, so I set them aside to delve deep into him, his relationships, his fears and his dreams, along the way setting the stage for the Spider-Verse.
Because there’s one other, key aspect to that period that we will be addressing. The years young Steve was on his own were the same years during which the American Bund – for all intents and purposes the Nazi Party in America – was growing very powerful in real world New York, blocks from where he lived.
To balance all that, the contemporary story has a lot of fun and action, and in both storylines we get to see more flashes of humor from Steve, because I think that range is essential to good storytelling. We will loosen him up, and make him even more of a compelling character on his own terms.Obviously your Marvel history is largely with other characters, but fans know you were part of one of Cap’s most iconic moments with the “No, you move” speech in ASM #537.
