Captain America: Man Out of Time #1

This five-part Marvel limited series opens with a cover by Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary that frames the entire sweep of Steve Rogers' extraordinary life — Captain America charges forward, shield raised, while behind him loom figures from his past and present: a menacing Hitler, Thor, Iron Man, and a determined young woman, evoking the vast gulf between the World War II era and the modern Marvel age. The title Man Out of Time says it all, and writer Mark Waid, artist Jorge Molina, and inker Karl Kesel look well-equipped to explore what it truly means to be a soldier unstuck from his own era. If you've ever wondered how Steve Rogers genuinely processes the disorienting leap from one world to another, this 2011 series promises a thoughtful, character-driven answer.
