CAPTAIN AMERICA Mini

CAPTAIN AMERICA: DEAD MAN RUNNING, a three-issue mini-series, will bridge the gap between the current series and the Marvel Knights relaunch in April.

The mini-series will be written by Darko Macan, with art by Danijel Zezelj and painted covers by Derek Hess.

Here's how Marvel describes the mini-series:

"CAPTAIN AMERICA: DEAD MAN RUNNING finds the Star-Spangled Avenger deep in the South American jungle after responding to a distress call from a squad of U.S. covert agents. But Captain America soon discovers that the soldiers - and the refugees that they are protecting - are on the run not only from their common enemy, but from justice itself! Attempting to stay one step ahead of their pursuers, the Sentinel of Liberty will confront several troubling questions, including: What should you do when you discover that the actions of those you are protecting fly in the face of everything you believe? What do you do when you find yourself an icon of forgotten times, a symbol of ideals no longer revered? And if you're Captain America, how do you keep going - especially if you're facing evil that a shield and a strong right cross cannot defeat?"

"This is a Captain America series with a very different tone, and a big part of that feel comes from the fact that these creators are bringing a completely different voice to Marvel," editor Andrew Lis says. "Joe Quesada has been very supportive as we pursue new talent, and has been instrumental in bringing creators like Derek Hess, Darko Macan, and Danijel Zezelj to Marvel. The House has many rooms, and there's always space for some new residents. We think you'll enjoy their stay!"
