![]() I’d have preferred a bit more political drama, and I don’t think an international matter would get resolved by just someone raising their voice.īeyond that, I personally feel this is a missed opportunity to establish Captain Carter as a voice of reason, a resolver of conflict. In this specific scene, for example, there are multiple contender nations claiming Captain Carter, but as the representatives are arguing, Captain Carter quite literally slams her fist on the desk and makes the decision. The story jump starts with an interesting quagmire which country gets to claim her? However, the frustrating part of the story for me was that any tension build-up gets immediately diffused, often in a ham-fisted way. The coloring is up to standards and what I have internally come to recognize as a Marvel house style.Īll that said, I have my share of criticism for the story as well.

There is a lot to unpack in this story, and it has to serve a daunting purpose. However, the premise and the character design were enough to get me interested. ![]() Captain Carter has all the makings of an interesting alternate Captain America, built on a straightforward proposition – what if it was Peggy Carter instead of Steve Rogers?
