Review
If anything, this issue proves that Nick Fury has always been more then happy to give the directorship over to anyone who asks. But seriously, Gene Colan is awesome, even when Stan Lee's plot goes a little soft (Cap's little research trip after his fight is a little...well, odd) The camraderie between Fury and Cap is great and shows that Nick Fury and SHIELD make perfect supporting cast for Captain America.
