Review
Fury reuniting with Dugan and Gabe Jones is the highlight of this issue where nothing much else happens; its all just a build-up to something. The tension between Gabe and Fury is interesting and keeping with his character. Jones was the one who always took the less gung-ho position against Dum Dum in the Godzilla series. His feelings regarding the fate of the men still with HAMMER echoes what he went through with the massacre of the new SHIELD recruits he trained back in SHIELD v.2. Hellfire and Phobos finding the LMDs in Fury's office is a funny moment. The potential addition of a Australian aboriginal to the team and that type of mysticism should prove to be very interesting. The art continues its high quality, especially that last page.
