Some nonsense thrown in there, but fun enough to make up for it.

I started reading this series because I was curious about Fury's backstory and I had a Marvel Unlimited subscription. I didn't expect to like it, figuring it would be grim and serious. And sometimes it is, but there's also a lot of humour. I love the running gags (Fury getting in trouble for not calling Happy Sam Sir, Dumdum's references to his mother-in-law, somebody owing Reb money at "pokah," Iz having to jumpstart yet another Nazi vehicle for their getaway...).

This particular issue had all of that, but it also had a lot more. I won't give any spoilers, but it's a respectful look at the Dutch resistance to the Nazi invaders and just how much some people were willing to give up for love of their country. I cried. Read it.
