NEW YORK � Captain America is rising from the grave.
The Marvel Comics superhero returns for the five-part series �Captain America Reborn,� beginning July 1.
But Marvel won�t disclose how he rises from the dead. Executive Editor Tom Brevoort (BREE�-vort) teases that the character has been �on a Vonnegut-esque metaphysical journey,� including some soul-searching about his place in the world.
Brevoort says that �while he seems to be dead, his mind and his spirit� are active elsewhere.
Captain America, the alter ego of Steve Rogers, was apparently shot and killed two years ago on the steps of a courthouse in lower Manhattan.
Rogers� sidekick Bucky Barnes took his place, continuing the series. Brevoort says Barnes will embark on a quest to revive Rogers.
