I wanted to like this one a lot more than I did, principally because it's Howard Chaykin drawing the story, but it didn't resonate with me at all. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Agent Carter because I really wanted Peggy to turn up here and kick a few asses. I'm not sure where this is supposed to fall in terms of Marvel continuity - is it some kind of alternative reality?

Chaykin is the perfect person to illustrate this though, given the misogyny of the era. He proves he has still got what it takes to produce good work. Otherwise though, this is a bit of a miss.

The story was decent. The art was not the best. I definitely would've enjoyed this more overall if it had better art.

I like the concept and it does have its charms, but ultimately the hodge podge team and clunky storytelling don't pay off.
