  • Continuity Notes
  • Cover appearence on #285
  • Captain America, Spiderman and Nick Fury last shared an adventure together in Marvel Team-Up #13
  • Spiderman learns Captain America's secret identity, from Nick Fury no less!
  • Nick Fury's uniform has a "cocoon" release, no doubt the Contessa's favorite option

Review
A rather silly story is made readable by a good dose of Spidey-humor and surprisingly a better-then average guest turn by Nick Fury who upstages Cap in his own title (considering Fury stops the missile). Plenty of robot-bashing, but reletively little plot and SULTAN is an acrynom that would have made even Stan Lee wince. All in all maybe worthwhile at the quarter bin for Fury completionists.
