Neat.
It reminds me of the 'Batman: Dark Allegiances" one-shot Chaykin did back in the mid 1990's. Looking forward to this.

I'm a big Chaykin fan and even I've come around to the criticism surrounding his recent work, but if there's a charcter (besides Tony Stark) that Chaykin's a perfect fit for, it's Captain America, particular when he can make a few political points by using the '50s Cap and Nick Fury.

My Number one complaint about this book,is that chaykin's Fury, bears little resemblence to the fury portrayed,in either his old comic, set in ww2,or his apperences in sgt. fury annual 2 and 3, set in Korea and viet nam,in 1952,and 1967. In days past, marvel would either make the artist re draw a characters faces,or have john Romita sr. do the job.its a tough looking guy, but not really recognisable as Fury.Also, they could have had a token apperance by the 1950s bucky. dont think a single word is used to say where he was,at the time. For many years, as nomad,in the 80s & 90s,he was a big part of caps stories.Thankfully, this cap is not portrayed as the ultra hardass he was portrayed as by englehart,back in cap 1972. More in line with how he was done back in 1954.
