ALEX ROSS DESIGNS NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA

Marvel Comics on Thursday unveiled the covers to Captain America #34, which feature a new Captain America designed by Alex Ross.

The images above are the covers for the issue, featuring art by Ross and series artist Steve Epting, as well as design art by Ross.

"Captain America is one of the true iconic super heroes of our time and to design the new look for a new Cap, we had to go with the most iconic, preeminent painter of our time -- Alex Ross," said Dan Buckley, Marvel's president of publishing.

Marvel did not reveal who the new Captain America is, but confirmed it is not Steve Rogers.

Captain America #34 will be in stores on Jan. 16. Ross' cover will also be released as a poster on Jan. 9.
