Set between the events of 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger and its upcoming sequel, the story will see Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) take S.H.I.E.L.D agent Natasha Romanoff (Scarlet Johansson) to the Brooklyn neighbourhood where he grew up.

"A lot has changed there since Steve was a kid in the 1930s, but the walk down memory lane is interrupted when a terrorist strike happens while they're there," Van Lente told Newsarama.

"The question of whether it happens because they were there or not is a question readers will have to wait until they read the issue to find out."

Anthony and Joe Russo's superhero sequel, due to hit cinemas on March 28th, will see Cap continue to struggle with living in a modern world two years after the events of Avengers Assemble. But he soon finds himself needing help from Johansson's Black Widow and new ally the Falcon (Anthony Mackie) to face off against a powerful enemy, and a blast from the past.
