It's March 1964, and a submarine in the North Atlantic finds a body frozen in a block of ice, the body of Captain America, America's hero who disappeared some twenty years earlier. And, what comes as a great shock is that he isn't dead, Captain America is alive. But...it's Captain America who gets the surprise - he's aboard a U-Boat, the war ended with a triumphant Nazi Germany!

Taken to New Berlin (formerly New York City), Cap sees America under the iron boot of the Red Skull. He fought for freedom in the 40s, and it's time to pick up the fight again!

This is another great Captain America graphic novel. The artwork is great, and the story line is gripping! To reflect how the world changed, Cap runs into people new to him, but not to us, people such as Ben Grimm, Reed Richards and Peter Parker, but in the new history they never became superheroes. Yep, this is a great book, one that my ten-year-old son loved every bit as much as I did. We both highly recommend this book to you.

This is the type of story Marvel should be doing regularly. Captain America at his prime.

Just trust me, its worth reading!!

Out of the five existing Captain America Marvel Knights volumes, this is by far the worst and completely unacceptable. It is a ridiculous "What If.." story that is completely out of continuity and not at all up to Marvel Knights standards.

I guess you can say it pays homage to the old school Cap stories but honestly it is so different then Rieber's work on the other three previous volumes that it can annoy the reader. If you're a fan of Marvel's "What If.." stories then this is for you, if not, skip it and go straight to the fifth volume.
