IRON MAN/HULK/FURY (MCU Comic Files)
Preamble As I said in my first review of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (about THOR: THE DARK WORLD Prelude), The Marvel Cinematic Universe is fairly self-contained.

Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. (Comic Files)
Preamble I have heard it said that Nick Fury is the James Bond of the Marvel Universe. He is the super spy amongst super heroes.
