Article Summary

• J Michael Straczynski ends his Captain America run with issue #16 in December, alongside artist Carlos Magno.
• JMS launches one-shots pitting unlikely Marvel characters together, hinting at other Marvel projects.
• Captain America storyline focuses on Steve Rogers' pre-hero days and ties to a modern-day fascist threat.
• Final arc sees Cap, Thor, and Spider-Man as the New Warriors Three exploring Thor's past shame in Broxton.

Yesterday, Marvel Comics announced that J Michael Straczynski (or JMS) was launching a series of one-shots, each teaming up, or putting into opposition, two unlikely candidates from across the Marvel Universe. But what does that mean for his other Marvel Comics work, such as the Captain America comic book he has been writing for a year and a bit, launched with Jesus Saiz? Well, JMS confirmed its upcoming conclusion on social media, posting, "My last Cap issue is #16, yes, then there's this, and one other little item that will be mentioned when the time is right."

Babylon 5, Jeremiah, and Sense8 creator J Michael Straczynski has been writing on and off for Marvel Comics for two-and-a-half decades on Thor, Fantastic Four and Amazing Spider-Man, which also led to him writing the first Thor movie. His run on Captain America began with a retelling of Steve Rogers' pre-Captain America days dealing with the fascist threat in thirties America and what of that survived in the modern day. The final three issues of his run on Captain America with Carlos Magno see Cap, Thor and Spider-Man team up as the New Warriors Three in a storyline set to dig up the events of Broxton, which Thor made the New Asgard when JMS was writing the title.

First rendered uninhabitable by Roxxon, then annihilated by the God of Hammers, to fridge Thor…
