Review of
Captain
America: Man Out of Time Part 1, by Mark Waid et. al. ISBN
9781599619361
Four out of five stars
This is another
iteration of a story that has been told several times. At the height of the
Second World War, super-soldier Captain America and his sidekick Bucky Barnes
are lost while on a mission. Decades later in the twenty-first century, the early
Avengers find Captain America encased in ice and in a state of suspended
animation. They are able to revive him and when Iron Man examines his shield,
he understands that it really is Captain America.
When he walks
the streets of New York City while in full costume, Cap is in full sensory
overload as it is clear that he no longer understands the world. When he moves
to the aid of a damsel in distress, he finds that his help is not appreciated
in the way he expected.
This is the
opening segment of another reboot of the Captain America franchise, this time
he is revived sixty years after being lost. It is targeted at the young adult
audience and it is a solid opening to a five-part story.
