First unveiled to retailers during San Diego Comic-Con, 1776 brings together a unique team of Marvel heroes who are sent back in time to the birth of the American Revolution. There, they join forces with historical figures like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams to protect history from being altered. Blending superhero action with real-world history, the series explores how preserving the events of 1776 is essential not only to America’s future but to the heroes’ very survival.
“Revolutionary Warriors, Assemble!”
When an unknown threat begins to unravel key moments in American history, Captain America and a team of Marvel icons must act fast to protect the founding of the United States. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as the heroes navigate a volatile past to preserve the future they know.
Straczynski explained his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “One of the things I’ve always loved about Marvel is its grounding in the real world. This story lets us explore 1776 through the eyes of our characters and reflect on the meaning and cost of that pivotal year. In today’s divided climate, it’s a powerful time to revisit where we came from and what those beginnings still mean.”
