Alex Ross Returns to Marvel with Captain America

Marvel Comics has announced that industry legend Alex Ross—who broke new ground with his seminal Marvels limited series—will return to Marvel Comics in 2008 with a brand new project—Avengers/Invaders.

Set in current continuity and featuring Marvel’s mightiest heroes from the past and present like never before, this 12-issue limited series will reunite the award winning writing team of Alex Ross and Jim Krueger (Earth X, Universe X) for their first Marvel project in over five years. Ross will also provide covers for all 12 issues, in addition to character designs for the series, which will be penciled by fan-favorite Steve Sadowski.

“It means something more to the world today, and that’s of course why we’re taking this confusing thing of the return of Captain America, that essentially is truly the return of Captain America, not in the way you would have expected,” revealed Ross of the series. “A lot of rich, creative room comes from that being opened up to us.”

In 2008, the world’s mightiest heroes reunite with some of the world’s mightiest creators for a twelve-issue event that will change the landscape of the Marvel Universe in Avengers/Invaders.
