I'm honored that my debut at Marvel could coincide with such an important and unique project. It's been an honor to co-create Ari with her! Her art is so playful, charming, and fun. Jodi has done such a great job bringing Ari to life. Bucky's influence is reflected in her costume, designed by the incredible Jodi Nishijima. Ari's a vigilante, and she knows that you can't always win by playing by the rules. Someone who hates bullies as much as Steve does, but is willing to use sneakier, shadier tactics to deal with them. But the Captain America she's inspired by isn't Steve Rogers-it's Bucky Barnes. Like the other Caps, Ari has a strong sense of justice and admires the ideals Captain America embodies. But what can she do when her college is only concerned with keeping its donors happy, and half the buildings on campus are named after her best friend's abuser? In order to take him down, she'll have to get creative. When she finds out her best friend is being victimized by a wealthy legacy student, Ari is determined to make things right. And getting to create one-a Captain America, even!-feels incredibly special.Īri Agbayani is a scholarship student at a small, private university. There just aren't very many of us in comics! I grew up without a Filipino-American community for the most part, so every time I see a Filipino character, I get excited. When editor Alanna Smith approached me about creating a new, local Captain America for this series, I immediately knew I wanted to write a Filipino-American girl. “When her school turns a blind eye to fellow students behaving badly, she springs into action-and she’s not afraid to fight dirty.” Talking about creating Ari, Wong said: Ari was created by writer Alyssa Wong ( Star Wars: Doctor Aphra) and artist Jodi Nishijima ( Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) who is out to serve justice on her college campus. Marvel Comics recently shared a little bit of information about a new Captain America that will debut in United States of Captain America #4 named Ari Agbayani.
