It's the hump segment of the mere 3-part Sgt. Fury/Dracula tale. The first issue didn't have the two meet. Pleasantries and plans are made in this segment. The Howling Commandos aren't quite so jolly as they were in their original 60s and 70s run as they are here. But this is also a Marvel monsters story and not a Marvel war story. So, I'm okay with it.
I just hate that this story isn't longer than 3 chapters! It just doesn't seem fair! I would love to see a Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD/Dracula follow-up. That would be epic. Unlikely. But epic!
The two one-and-done stories are polar opposites. The Iron Man and Rhodey story is forgettable. Literally. But the second story starring the immortal priestess Selene and the Joe Fix-it Hulk was really good. After a rowdy bar fight, Selene sets her sites on the Gray Hulk. Seems that after about 17,000 years, nobody quite has the stamina, attitude, and muscles as the Hulkster does. Only while Selene is drooling all over the behemoth, Hulk can only reply 'Not Interested' and that sort of rebuke makes the demoness want him even more!
3 out of 4 tales were rather enjoyable. The Iron Man story felt like every other generic 90s Iron Man story. Still, I liked this issue a lot more than many previous MCP offerings.Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
