Screw you haters! This series was awesome. It revitalized golden age characters. My favorites were Black Widow, Captain Wonder and Phantom Reporter.

It is about GA heroes that were put into suspended animation during WWII and were awakened in todays world. It is about the struggles of the adjustments to the modern day. To me, it was how Captain America should have been. Rogers just seemed okay with everything and fit right into the modern day. These guys are shattered by it.
The best part is that they used real GA heroes that just stopped being used in the 40's.

It just was never well known. My comic shop guy only ordered one issue at a time and only because I insisted that he get it for me.

I was hoping it would have made it 12 issues but it did not even get that far. It only made it to issue #8.

It is not very action packed. It is more story driven. There are a few nice feats but mostly it is their pain. Captain Wonder is especially broken in this story. I do not want to spoil why but I loved it.
Black Widow seems to be fitting in but she has her own special struggle.
Phantom Reporter has to get used to new technology.
The others were okay but they did not have the appeal to me that was displayed by the three mentioned.
