Review
Exciting little filler-story serves as a showcase for the dueling gadgets of both SHIELD and HYDRA. The reader delights in the endless string of OTT weapons and counter-measures each side pits against each other, ranging from hovering battle rams to electrified rooms. A fun story which serves as prologue to the coming battles ahead.
