When Does "DC: The New Frontier" #5 (2004) Take Place?
"DC: The New Frontier" #5 "My Greatest Adventure" is a superhero comic-book written by Darwyn Cooke and released July 28th, 2004.
It takes place on an alternate timeline of the fictional DC Comics Universe in the year:
We know this because (despite it being the first issue in the series to have no time and place setting text), about one-third through the comic, there is a scene in which Batman meets someone after that person has been sent microfilm in the mail just a few pages earlier. Batman is seen, about two-third through the previous issue, "DC: The New Frontier" #4 (2004), going through this exact same material and making a call saying "I've got something here I think you'd better take a look at. Next Tuesday then. Usual time and place."
This comic-book was retroactively collected into a "DC: The New Frontier" volume 2 paperback as well as a complete hardcover.
1958 AD

That scene in #4 must take place in 1958 AD because the entire issue appears to and, if this meeting is merely a week to a week-and-a-half later, it's almost certainly still 1958 AD.
This comic-book was retroactively collected into a "DC: The New Frontier" volume 2 paperback as well as a complete hardcover.
It is a chronologically midway comic in the DC Comics Universe multiverse timeline. It can be read after the previous issue, "DC: The New Frontier" #4 (2004).
