Major media coverage of the new Captain America (see 'Cap's Back in January') will kick off on Monday, with more planned throughout the week.  As was the case with the death of Captain America storyline, the New York Daily News will break the story and release it to other media.   The story will also be covered by Ed Brubaker on NPR Morning Edition national broadcast on Monday morning.

Local and national print media can be expected to pick up the story on Tuesday.  Marvel EIC Joe Quesada will appear on the Colbert Report Tuesday night to talk about the story.

The issue in question, Captain America #34, will release on Wednesday, January 31st. 

We asked Marvel spokesperson Jim McCann for comment on the anticipated coverage.  He said:  'This is a really big story, yes.  The mainstream media is still as hungry for Cap news as they were when he died, as seen in the Death of Captain America Vol. 1 HC.  It just goes to show that Ed Brubaker is telling an epic story that has captured National attention, not just comic fandom.  Will the world be ready for this new Captain America?  We'll find out on Wednesday!'
