Review
The unlikely pairing of Nick Fury with the Deathlok character begins here in this 4-issue miniseries. A strong debut for the new Deathlok, incorporates Nick Fury and SHIELD well and makes for a good match. The use of Roxxon Oil lays down the groundwork for more appearances by Fury and SHIELD in later stories. Surprisingly Fury and Deathlok make for quite a good team, with an interplay akin to Fury and Wolverine.
