Captain America Becomes King – and a New Story From the King in Captain America #700

Published Mon, 08 Jan 2018 17:24:43 -0600

At the end of last week's Captain America, Stev Rogers found himself frozen in ice, one more time. Paralleling Fitz' journey in Agents Of SHIELD right now, Captain America will once again wake up in the future, a man out of… what's that phrase?

This spring, OUT OF TIME will culminate with the release of CAPTAIN AMERICA's milestone 700^th issue, concluding the arc in an oversized story from creators Mark Waid and Chris Samnee!

Frozen in time, awakened in a decimated future and once again a man out of his era, there is only one way for Steve Rogers to restore order and rebuild civilization—and that's to rule it as King Captain America!

"No dream, no hoax, no lie, this IS Cap and this IS happening!" said SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. "Guest-starring the Thing and the Hulk (or as much as is left of them), it's a celebration of 700 issues of star-spangled adventure! Plus, Mark Waid delivers an untold tale from Captain America's past, featuring the classic artwork of Jack Kirby!"

Don't miss the conclusion of an arc that has seen some of Steve Rogers' most epic adventures in CAPTAIN AMERICA #700, on sale this spring!

He's becoming King? Doesn't he remember that bad things happen when he becomes a supreme commander? It was only a bike ride ago… and a Mark Waid/Jack "King" Kirby collaboration in the fashion of Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole's duet sounds possible.

Man, there's Kings everywhere right now…

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it, but I think things would come around quite so quickly. Oh look, they've dug up an old but of Jim Lee art from X-Men as well. You can work for Marvel, but you'll never leave…
