Well, this was an absolutely awful let down. I love that the What If? animated show launched a whole new iteration of Peggy Carter, and a quick little mini series to play out the story of Peggy waking up in the modern world the same way Steve did makes sense on paper.

Too bad this is a stinking mess that takes the various plot beats from Steve Rogers' story and does them poorly. It's quite obvious that Kieron Gillen is the actually good writer in the Gillen/McKelvie team. Everything is so on the nose here; the plot hits every single cliche you can imagine would pop up in a story like this, and the villain's motivation made no sense whatsoever other than an attempt to have vaguely watered down commentary on something a thousand other writers have done so much better. (One cliche that really stuck in my craw was where Peggy's young black female neighbor just so happened to also have l33t hacking skillz.

As for the art...whew. That was a mess. Cresta does okay body work, but every single face in this looked weird, like they were all dolls put in a microwave and their faces began to melt off. The action scenes were fine, nothing terrible but nothing great either. The color work was serviceable. Having McKelvie himself do the covers of each issue was just rubbing salt in the wound of the artwork, however. He's SO good and his covers are fantastic.  

What an all around awful disappointment of a book. Peggy deserves better.
