MARVEL LAUNCH A CAP SPECTACULAR

With his movie exploding in cinemas this summer Captain America is gearing up to show there's no stopping the star-spangled hero.
 This year is Cap's 70th anniversary and the Sentinel of Liberty's avalanche of titles begins in March with issue 615.1 of his ongoing series.
 Described as the perfect jumping-on point, this issue sees the climax of the Trial of Captain America. Who will assume the red, white and blue after the dust has settled? New Cap aka Bucky Barnes or Steve Rogers?
 The drama continues in issue 616 as both Steve Rogers and Bucky deal with the aftermath of the trial.
 This issue is written by Ed Brubaker, veteran Howard Chaykin, Mike Benson, Frank Tieri, Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel. Art is from Butch Guice, Chaykin and Paul Grist all behind a cinematic Travis Charest cover.
 As well as the main story, there is a tale set in the final days of WWII plus more of Steve Rogers: Super Soldier and the Secret Avengers. This 104-page issue ships in March.
 The anniversary celebrations continue with Captain America and Falcon, a 40-page comic from Brit writer Rob Williams with pencils from Rebekah A Isaacs. Greg Tocchini supplies the cover artwork.
 Sam Wilson, the Falcon, has been many things in his life: a hero, an activist and an Avenger. Now when an old friend's son becomes involved in gang warfare, Sam must confront his own past to save the boy.
 Another 40-page title is Captain America and Batroc, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Renato Arlem. Greg Tocchini again provides cover art.  Batroc the Leaper once again locks horns with Cap in this title.
 In Captain America and the Secret Avengers, from Kelly Sue Deconnick and Greg Tocchini, the Black Widow and Agent 13 team up to stop a young girl from murdering her headmistress.
 This 40-page book which goes on sale in March sees New York rocked by gals with guns a-blazin'!
Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941. He was revived by Stan Lee in 1964.
 His cinema career started in 1943 with a chapterplay serial. Two TV movies came in the late 70s and early 80s. Cap's first shot at the silver screen came in 1990 with a lacklustre film directed by Albert Pyun.
