Review/plot: What is the point of this? Captain America and Bucky team up with Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos and, with the Ancient One's help, chase the Red Skull into Dormammu's Dark Dimension to prevent him from keeping the Amulet of Agamotto. Baron Mordo, although he does not appear in this story, is the one who gave the amulet to the Skull. With Clea's help, the good guys win, and then the Ancient One wipes their memories. The art is pretty good, but it's far from a great story.
Quality Rating: C
Historical Significance Rating: 1 - it's a "the characters forget everything that happened" story. I hate those.
Chronological Placement Considerations: Captain America is on his way to fight Baron Zemo, seemingly for the first time.

Comments
where did those german soldiers come from?
How old is Clea supposed to be? She's drawn looking fairly adult, but Nick calling her "little girl" and the fact that this would take place like 20 years before she met Dr. Strange implies she's maybe supposed to be a young teenager or something.
Hard to know if I'm supposed to dismiss her looking older as a problem with the art or assume Nick's colloquialisms don't necessarily accurately describe her age.
Don't quote me on this, but I swear I've read somewhere that Clea is actually several hundred years old; she just looks relatively young by human standards.
In Doctor Strange 72, Strange looks at a barrier that was conjured when Clea's father was a baby and comments "The power with which Dormammu and Umar conjured it remains strong, even after ALL THESE MILLENNIA. In the same issue, Clea's father says that Clea was conceived when he had "just assumed the countenance of manhood". So Clea's probably a few hundred years old.
