Marvel Comics is celebrating the 80th anniversary of Captain America with a gay teen superhero.
The publishing company said in a press release that its newest hero, Aaron Fischer, is making his debut June 2. He’ll be featured in a new limited series titled “The United States of Captain America.”
The series will feature the original Captain America Steve Rogers teaming up with Captain Americas of the past – including Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson and John Walker – traveling across America to find his stolen shield.
As they go on their road trip, they will discover “everyday people from all walks of life” who have taken up the mantle of Captain America to defend their communities.
