đ The Story
In Captain America – Man Out of Time #1–5, a modern reimagining of the classic tale, the Avengers rescue a frozen Steve Rogers from the icy Atlantic, decades after World War II. Still carrying the memories and values of the 1940s, Rogers is thrust into a disorienting new world filled with rapid technological advancement, cultural shifts, and a society far removed from the one he left behind. As he struggles to reconcile the ideals he once fought for with a modern reality, Steve must find his place not just in the Avengers—but in the heart of America itself.
This heartfelt narrative dives into Steve’s emotional and psychological journey as he adjusts to life in a future that moved on without him.
