I try my darnedest to stay away from all of the Dark Reign companion books, but . . it looks like I'll probably have to pick up the one for this book . . the List. Unfortunately, with a story like this, there's probably to much information in that issue for me to pass up. Last issue Norman Osborn and HAMMER had Nick Fury's team cornered in secret base #20 . . Homerun. Eden is trying to open a portal so that they can get out, but in all the confusion below he got turned around and he can't port blind. So now he, JT and Alex are trying to make their way to the roof to get out. However, once they open the door they find Norman and his Avengers waiting for them. Including Alex's father, Ares. Eden gets the portal open but . . Ares gets his axe caught in it, and they end leading HAMMER right to secret base #22, Inside Straight. That causes the base to initiate 'Fury Protocol 12'. Which includes a data purge and self destruction. They got 5 minutes to get all of their team members out. Luckily they're also a replication facility, so to add to the confusion . . they activate all the LMD's. There's 2 stand-out moments in this fight. The first is when Jerry stands up to Ares. He actually holds his own. Secondly, Yo-Yo gives Bullseye a severe beat-down. Jerry has to pull her off of him. Of course they escape, to Fury base #17 . . the Cocoon. But they get out at the last second, so they bring the base down on top of all the HAMMER agents still in it. Eden tries to console Alex for the loss of his father. 'He's the God of War, Eden. It would take more than a building blowing up to kill him. This isn't going to be over until the day he and I come to an understanding. And that day is coming soon.' While all of this is going on, Nick and John Garrett are playing some kind of game with the US Government. Specifically with the Treasury Dept and a Mister Waters. Waters thinks he's controlling the board and knows everything about Garrett and what he and Nick may be up to. But I get the feeling that's what Nick wants him to think. Nick is proving that he's the master tactician. It looks like everything is going to hit the fan . . soon! Jonathan Hickman is doing a great job with this book. I really like his attention to detail, and how he's balancing out the focus on all of these characters. Plus I'm just happy to see Nick, and SHIELD . . in some form or another . . back up and at it again. Even if it is a pretty small group . . right now. Alessandro Vitti does the art. I like this book. I like the characters, and I like the premise. Plus . . it's got a ton of potential. What more could you ask for?
