While working incognito in the Bavarian Alps, Fury sustains an eye injury. But rather than let the accident scuttle his important mission, Fury continues on, having to adjust to a lack of depth perception when having to fight his way out of fisticuffs with a squadron of soused Nazis.
The cover is a bit misleading. Yes, the eye injury is why Nick Fury will one day don an eye patch. However, it doesn't cause him to lose his eye yet. The damage is done. However, the medic at the end of this story tells Fury that it will be a few years before he'll no longer be able to see out of his left eye.
Fury's diminishing eye sight will probably play a part in upcoming issues of Howling Commandos. I await to see just what part it will play. For now, Nick has a pair of eyes, working in a capacity yet to be fully determined. Calling the events in this story the origin of Fury's eye patch is in my opinion a rather loose definition of the word 'origin'. Still, Stan Lee's tale is way better than the genesis of how the Samuel L. Jackson Nick Fury lost his eye.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
