#MISSING PERSON CASE FALCON AVENGERS 2 SERIES#

As powerful as the representational element is (a Black man as Captain America), I think, too, that it provides a huge wealth of dramatic storytelling material. Also, the end of Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier really resonated with a lot of people, especially taking into account Sam Wilson’s interaction with Isaiah Bradley during the show. I think the impact of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther cannot be overstated in this regard. TOCHI ONYEBUCHI : Maaaaaaaan! I think it’s that combination of people being hungry for his story and the “Powers That Be” deciding that now is the time to meet that hunger.

Right off the bat, why is Sam Wilson as Captain America such an important moment, both in comics and in culture? I was in the middle of BLACK PANTHER LEGENDS and Alanna reached out after Caitlin O’Connell recommended me for what would turn out to be the opportunity of a lifetime. TOCHI ONYEBUCHI : It was this wonderful email from Alanna Smith, an incredible editor in the Avengers office and the true captain of this whole endeavor, back in-I wanna say-July of 2021. How were you approached for this particular series, SYMBOL OF TRUTH? Then, like many people, I imagine, the cinematic iterations of Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson opened the door for me to dive deeper into their stories in the comics. Then when it was announced that Ta-Nehisi Coates would be taking over the character after his run on BLACK PANTHER (2018), I was like “Okay, very, very interesting.” I guess you could say up until then, I was more familiar with the idea of the character than with the character itself. X-MEN was my gateway into the world of the Avengers and more specifically the world of Captain America. As you know, “ X-Cutioner’s Song” is one of the greatest stories ever told. TOCHI ONYEBUCHI : Growing up, I was a huge X-Men fan. What’s your history as a fan with Captain America, both the Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson incarnations?

Now that issue #1 is out in comic shops now, we spoke with the scribe about what to expect next! Writer Tochi Onyebuchi, coming in hot off the success of his BLACK PANTHER LEGENDS series, brings this book to life alongside extraordinary artist R.B.
