Comic Timeline question

I have a question about the timeline in the comics, exactly how long was Steve dead for in the actual comic universe? Also I was wondering how long was Tony brain"dead" for?

BTW this is ok to ask here, right? If not just let me know and I'll delete.

I'm not sure even Marvel knows on the Steve front, because the editors let an in-universe one year anniversary, complete with political fight over it, and a visit from his spirit slip by in the Thor comic, then oops, he was never really dead, just unstuck in time and never able to contact anyone to get help except through a recording left in Vision I. But he talked to Thor. Or something claiming to be Steve did. And it was never brought up again once he was back.

I would say that the general consensus (taking in account the above), is Steve was dead slightly over one year. Sharon figures out about the unstuck in time thing at the first anniversary of Steve's death, and they get him back not long after.

Which is a shame because I really liked that whole dead!Steve and Thor interaction.

Alright, thanks for the info. I was a bit confused about the whole thing.

That is interesting, wonder if they will ever touch upon that interaction again, thanks.

That's understandable. So was everyone else.

I was mostly amused at the reuse of an old Babylon 5 quote of JMS' It led to a lot of "Is Steve Valen?" speculation on my part.

Just be grateful you weren't trying to figure out how long he was on ice for.

Tony is brain delete from the begining of Dark Avengers until end of Stark Resassembled. As we have steve back at end of Stark Resembled (and dark avengers are seen at one year anniversary of Cap's death), I make a guess it's approximately somewhere between 3-6 months.
If this is for fic, some advise, don't worry about time scales. Marvel don't.

Not for fic, just curious lol. Thanks. Someone in a comic chat had told me it was mentioned that Tony was brain gone for about a year. I wasn't sure if that was accurate though.
