Taking place in 1952, Howard Stark ropes Peggy Carter into going to the Soviet Union to investigate something suspicious. Her minder, Tania isn\t really her minder. She locked him up in a van. She wants to find her father who is locked up in gulag prison and she thinks that a group of Americans is her best bet to finding him.
They meet up with Stark's contact, a man named Woodrow McCord, who is prejudiced against anyone who is not like himself. So when they meet a young man who can turn into a bear in the woods, he wants to kill him. They stop him from doing this. And when they meet an alien who is working at a gulag run by Hydra he really wants to kill her even after she saves Tania's life by healing her.
The alien's mate has been trapped here for so long he no longer remembers who he is and he has turned into a black hole. If they use the transponder from her plane and give it to him he will think it's her and leave them alone. Meanwhile, the bear guy is trying to rescue everybody in the gulag. And Howard and Anatol, a scientist who has been working on groundbreaking stuff and is in love with the alien, who wants to stay with him, argue over where scientific discovery should take place. Then Hydra comes back and captures them all. Will they escape?
This comic brings up the prejudices of the 1950s that McCord exhibits and resonates. It also brings up the pertinent question of who should be trusted with knowledge and what is done with it. Peggy Carter is a great character and so is Howard Stark. Also included in the comic Captain America and the First Thirteen which takes place during the war in France and involves Peggy and Captain America on a mission. Overall this was an okay comic and I give it three stars out of five stars.
