Review
Classy
oneshot celebrates the history of the classic 60's title with a reunion
of old buddies Cap, Iron Man, and of course Nick Fury (and Dum Dum). The
painted art is excellent and the story serves as a great spotlight for
the friendship between this trio of men. Fury's manner of employing Iron
Man and Cap is underhanded but thankfully unmanipulative or cruel as has
been sometimes the case in the past. Fury has some good moments, especially
his recruiting the heroes and the finale where his courage inspires Stark
to press on.
