Synopsis for "Aftermath"

Cap spends the first part of this issue recounting his past months encounters with the Corporation. When he later returns to New York City, he tries to seek out his old partner the Falcon in Harlem. He does not find the Falcon, but rather S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent and old friend Peggy Carter. Peggy recounts how Sharon Carter and a few other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were trying to gather information on the new Grand Director and his National Force. Since Cap left the city, the mysterious Grand Director has brought his hypnotic platform of hatred, racism, and violence to New York City. Peggy recalls how during a rally in Central Park, the Grand Director seemed to incite the people into a murderous frenzy, including Sharon Carter! Now Sharon is missing and the National Force appears to be on the rise. Captain America declares that the defeat of this organization is something he is going to take personally... To Be Continued.
