Captain America: Man Out of Time #5
In "Man Out of Time, Part 5," Captain America finds himself stranded in the aftermath of V-J Day, struggling to reconcile his wartime ideals with a nation that’s moved on. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Jorge Molina, with inks by Karl Kesel and colors by Frank D'Armata, this pivotal issue sees Rogers' recorded plea reach Rick Jones, who teams up with Reed Richards to bring him home. The journey back is just the beginning, as Captain America prepares to face the future—on his own terms—thanks to a team effort that bridges decades. The cover by Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary captures the weight of that moment.
