10 Most Anticipated Comics Still To Come In 2017

4. Captain America

Release Date: November 1

Mark Waid and Chris Samnee are the creative force over at Marvel right now. Kicking things off with a sublime stint on Daredevil, the duo then set their sites to Black Widow, crafting a fine follow up to the Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto series and providing a seminal storyline befitting of the character's post-Avengers popularity in the process.

And now, following a frustratingly tone-deaf year of Nazi Cap in Secret Empire, the duo are set to galvanise Steve Rogers in a move that does, on the surface at least, look like a pretty good way of distancing the character from that very event. Waid and Samnee's track record together has been phenomenal, and with their run on Daredevil ranking up there with the very best to have featured the Man Without Fear, one would hope they could replicate that success with Cap.

The first Avenger hasn't really had a good run of things since Ed Brubaker ended his critically acclaimed stint on the character a few years back, but if there's a creative team out there ready to return the star-spangled man with a plan back to the glory days, it's those two.
