America Chavez is finally returning to comics.
The dimension-hopping hero will star in a five-issue miniseries by Kalinda Vazquez and Carlos Gómez titled America Chavez: Made in the U.S.A, which will reveal more about her powers and origin and promises a "shocking ramification" for the Marvel Universe.
"From the moment America Chavez was introduced into the Marvel Universe I was a fan. It's such an honor to have the opportunity to tell an America story, and I couldn't be more excited to have been invited onto this project," Vazquez said when the series was originally announced in March before being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "I can't wait for the world to see the incredible artwork that Carlos Gómez has created for this book! In this series, America is going to be tested as she's never been tested before, and the challenges that she'll have to face will only force her to pull from even deeper from that well of strength and ferocity that we know lies within her…"
"I'm so hyped for this new series!” Gómez added. "Her style and her powers make her an awesome character… There is so much you can do with her, it's insane. I couldn't be happier to jump on this ship. So be ready for a new origin story with a ton of unexpected twists!"
Created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta, America Chavez first appeared 2011's Vengeance. She has superhuman strength and flight, as well as the ability to traverse dimensions. America has joined the Young Avengers and previously held her own ongoing title in 2017.
