While I LOVED this issue and the weaving of the Daughters of Liberty (honestly, I'd love a book of them throughout history, it would be so great, I'd also love to get an issue for each Daughter on the current team to see how each one was recruited), Peggy's ret-con bothered me a bit, too, though I'm not quite sure if I'm being hyper sensitive because of my fear of the MCU influencing the comics and that's causing my perspective to be tainted enough to
look for reasons to be annoyed by Peggy or I'm legitimately irked without bias. But the idea of Peggy being assigned to Steve, as a Daughter during WW2, and sleeping with him, without him knowing that he was an assignment (and has remained ignorant of that till now) seems... not right, ethically speaking. And yes, I realize that there have been plenty of Marvel romances where characters who were assigned to one another fell in love, Natasha and Bucky being one example, but at least with Nat and Bucky, they were both entirely aware of their situation and loved despite it, there was full agency there. With Steve, he was completely naive, moreover, Peggy was in love with someone else, someone she couldn't be with due to racism and intolerance, which makes it seem like she was using a young, naive Steve Rogers to both monitor him and to fill the void of intimacy she wasn't getting from who she truly wanted. Which is kind of icky.
Yet on the other hand, it does establish that what Steve has with Sharon is true, so the contrast was good for that.
Regardless, the Peggy irk is a minor thing. Overall, I loved the Daughters, their history, the way that Coates wove it into the Cap mythos and I loved this panel quite a lot (because of it's utter and stark truth *cough*2016presidentialelection*cough*)...
And JFC I'm so glad Sam and Bucky were in this issue. FREAKIN FINALLY. Now the Cap!fam is all back together. My heart is lighter (and full).
Poor Steve...
He's just so tired. As Sam pointed out in this book, Steve's life has just been one tremendous hell after another. See, now I want him to adopt Star-baby more than ever. Let him have some happiness.
