CAPTAIN AMERICA and BLACK WIDOW #636

~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hey guys,

the first issue of a new Captain AMerica mini I am drawing is coming out today in the stores all over the Country. It's CAPTAIN AMERICA and BLACK WIDOW #636, and it's written by my dear friend Cullen Bunn and illustrated and colored by yours truly.
You can check the large 7-pages preview above (click on the image for larger view) and hopefully decide to pick up the book in the stores.

Here some things to know about this issue:
• It's a good jump-on point/issue - it's fully enjoyable even if you haven't read previous issues
• It's CAPTAIN AMERICA meets TWILIGHT ZONE meets FRINGE meets LETHAL REDHEADS. Yes, it's as much crazy FUN as it sounds :)
• It's a fun story with good looking (I hope) artwork
• It's only 2.99 bucks.
• Did I mention REDHEADS? I mean, like 2 of them? :D

Hope you enjoy the read as much I enjoyed drawing it :)

Cheers,
Francesco
