Review
Yet another
dull double bill of Spiderman and Fury, this despite the pedigree of writer
Archie Goodwin and Frank Springer on inking duties. The story is unimaginatively
recycled from NF:AOS #7 and doesn't even offer the satisfaction of an in-joke
(what, they thought we wouldn't notice?!) The art starts off adequate but
soon
degenerates with smaller and smaller panels that seem really rushed and lack
great detail. Not worth reading.
