Captain America #17, written by Zdarsky and drawn by Ton Lima, will be the start of a new arc for the series. “In the aftermath of Armageddon, Captain America goes on the run with Vic, the child clone of Doctor Doom. The U.N.-backed S.H.I.E.L.D. has demanded Vic be turned over, pitting Cap against Nick Fury. Meanwhile, one of Cap’s oldest enemies returns!” Issue 17 will be released on November 11th and features cover art by Valerio Schiti.

From the press release, “Spider-Man races to stop a deadly assassin, while a staunch enemy turned ally of the wall-crawler returns to his old tricks!

BLACK PANTHER/NAMOR: DOOMED #3, written by Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan with art by Stefano Nesi continues Doctor Doom’s story following One World Under Doom. “Egos and masterminds collide as the enemy triumvirate of Black Panther, Namor and Doom must unite!
