But Nick Fury… plays every game… his way!
Part of the month when Stan is on vacation. Kirby did the script. Stan still claims to have edited the comic while also claiming to not be in the office. His name still comes first in the credits.
The first script we’ve seen Kirby get credit for in our Marvel reading.
Certainly not the first script Kirby deserved credit for.
The battle against AIM/Them continues. I’d almost gotten in my head that AIM and Them were just different names for the same organization. But then last issue AIM was described as a branch of Them.
Now the narrator tells us AIM is in league with Them.
After a failed attempt to kill Nick Fury, Count Bornag Royale notes that AIM must improve its prestige with Them. That suggests there really is a distinction. My current thinking is that AIM is a branch of Them.
