VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by JESSE ALEXANDER Pencils and Cover by JOHN PAUL LEON “SHOTGUN OPERA”—Nothing less than the fate of the free world is at stake as Sgt. Nick Fury leads the Howling Commandos on their most dangerous mission ever! SHOTGUN OPERA sets the stage for the harrowing events of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's best-selling CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE. After parachuting deep into enemy-held Yugoslavia, Fury, Dum Dum, Izzy, Reb, Gabe, and Pinky Pinkerton need every bullet and grenade in the Allied armory as they are chased by Tiger tanks, strafed by screaming Stukas, betrayed by beautiful babes, and forced into gladiatorial combat against Baron Strucker's diabolical war machine: PANZER MAX! Brought to you by the team of Jesse Alexander (HEROES, LOST, ALIAS) and John Paul Leon (EARTH X), HOWLING COMMANDOES is a must-have for all Fury Fans, Cap Completists, and anyone who likes war comics that take no prisoners, show no mercy, and cry havoc! WA-HOO! 40 PGS. Date Available: 05/13/2009 BONUS REVIEW by Tom Gronkowski  In this comic, Nick Fury impales a Nazi with an umbrella. Sorry to ruin it. But if there's one thing I like to see when I open a comic, it's Nick Fury impaling a Nazi with an umbrella. A lot of Nazis die in this book in extravagant ways. This one-shot could just as easily have been an issue of Sgt. Fury from the mid-sixties, save for the sweet John Paul Leon artwork, which seems to strive for a cross between Marcos Martin and Darwyn Cooke, while maintaining Leon's trademark grit. If you want a dose of balls to the wall WWII patriotic cunning and carnage (and who doesn't), you want this book.! I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
