U.S.AGENT #1 is now available in comic book shops.

Press Release

Marvel Comics has launched an interview with U.S.Agent writer Christopher Priest to discuss the new series. We reviewed it at AIPT and gave it a good score, but you can pick it up now digitally to see for yourself. The new series focuses on John Walker who is now stripped of his official Status as a U.S.Agent and finds himself in a conflict between a small town and a corporate giant.

In the interview, Priest says Captain America makes being a hero look easy, and “John Walker is not Steve Rogers.”

Watch the interview below.

“John Walker is not a super hero. No matter how hard he wants to be a super hero, he’s really not,” Priest explained in the video. “And that’s the whole point of John Walker. The whole point of a guy like John Walker is to point out just how much strength of character and nobility and self-sacrifice it takes to actually be called a hero in the Marvel Universe.”

New York, NY— November 11, 2020 — U.S.Agent, the Super-Soldier you love to hate is back in an all-new series by writer Christopher Priest and artist George Jeanty!
