Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #2 (opens in new tab) ramps up the apparent conspiracy around Steve Rogers' legendary shield that was uncovered in the new series' debut issue, and as it turns out, some of Steve's oldest and closest allies may be in on the secret.
So what's the deal with Cap's allies, and is Steve's shield really "their symbol, not yours," as Steve was cryptically warned in the first issue? We'll get into it right now - and if you're as altruistic as Steve Rogers, you may be shocked by what you learn.
Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #2 from writers Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, artists Carmen Carnero and Nolan Woodard, and letterer Joe Caramagna opens in the wake of Cap's encounter in issue #1 with a new, apparently villainous version of the Destroyer, one of Steve Rogers' WWII allies.
First, after writing a letter to Bucky who he hasn't seen since the preceding issue's events, Steve meets with two of his older WWII allies, Roger Aubrey, the former Destroyer whose identity was stolen by the villain in the previous issue, and Pam (likely Pam Hawley, a former ally and lover of Nick Fury), who have been decoding secret messages related to the unknown new villains who have been attacking Steve, including the new Destroyer.
Steve then discovers (thanks to his young new support staff) that the man who artistically designed the shield itself is named David Agboje, with the already known Myron MacLain actually building it.
This is the first time David Agboje and his involvement with the creation of Cap's shield have been mentioned in the Marvel Universe, and it seems that even in continuity he's a mystery, as his records seem to have disappeared after designing Cap's shield.
