scans_dailyThere's Symbol of Truth, starring Sam Wilson, and Sentinel of Liberty, starring Steve Rogers.
They got their kickoff this April, in Captain America #0 - where Sam and Steve went after Arnim Zola's plot to " [evolve America's] frail human bodies into a world of perfected Zolasauruses! "
The two went to stop Zola's rocket instrument, hurling themselves against its defenses and structure.
Zola taunted them - at Sam, he sneered " Captain America? What America? "
Sam answered his summation.
Down in the engines of his rocket, Zola turned to Steve: " .. do you finally see the truth?
(That's not Zola showing Steve images, but Steve making associations.)
The shield shattered Zola's armed body, and Steve went on to his core.
Outside the rocket, Sam found a way in - and dove down.
(Show Zola without his face, and you suddenly remember that he's a brain upload.)
Sam and Steve converged on Zola.
Having taken out Zola, they disposed of his rocket - and escaped the explosions consuming it, bantering about distinguishing prefixes on the way out.
There were two pages left after that - each was a set-up for one book.
There was Sam's:
(That's the White Wolf.
He's being used in an archetypical role similar to the one he fills as a Black Panther character: " ..[Sam's], at one point, going to have to deal with having an opposite, someone who represents the polar opposite of everything he stands for. An eternal antagonist, so to speak. Steve Rogers has the Red Skull. Who will be Sam Wilson’s Red Skull? "
If the intended effect is achieved, it wouldn't be a great loss - after all, when people think " similar but opposite " for Black Panther these days, they think " Killmonger ".)
(This is at least the first arc of the Sentinel of Liberty book - the Century Game, a conspiracy where the star is both symbol and gameboard.
Pagecount's 10 of 30 - writers're Tochi Onyebuchi, who's doing Symbol of Truth, and Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, who're doing Sentinel of Liberty.
Art's Mattia De Iulis - letters're Joe Caramagna.

I just like to think it.

That Spider-Man and the X-Men meme about Sauron only wanting to turn people into dinosaurs really caught on within Marvel's current crop of writers.
