Basically a bunch of disconnected stories. All in all, not bad. Sure the reprint of a Howling Commando story was kind of annoying, but could easily have been worse. But the rest, including Nick Fury being appointed head of SHIELD were pretty good. And the two Nick Fury, Jr stories filled in some blanks. And the stories semi-inspired from the tv show were worth reading, including seeing Melinda May in print. Curious to see more.

Something about this didn’t work for me. I liked the first couple of stories and the last one, but found the middle ones lacking. Couldn’t keep my attention.

Some interesting stories and there for awhile this collection was definitely on a girl power kick which was neat. And then we had the "older" story reprints and I Just gotta say...boy they really loved their exclamation points back in the day. So many exclamation points.

The bulk of this collection are 50th anniversary issues to commemorate characters who have been important to S.H.I.E.L.D. like Nick Fury, Agent Carter and Mocking Bird among others. The best of these is probably the Mockingbird issue. Chelsea Cain has a real feel for the character and the story along with Joelle Jones remarkable art really lean into Jim Steranko's run with Nick Fury with a few touches of Fraction's Hawkeye thrown in. Fury #1 does it's best to retcon the two Nick Fury characters into a Hatemonger story that involves a young and unnamed but who are we fooling here, Barack Obama. The issue bites off WAY more than it can chew in 20 some pages and should be a mini or maxi series but David F. Walker gives it his best shot. Also, why hasn't Hatemonger been in more stuff lately? He's basically the perfect villain of 2019.
After the new stuff we get a few reprints starting with Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos number 1 which is fun war throwback, the Strange Tales story where Commander Fury joins S.H.I.E.L.D. and issue 6 of the Battle Scars mini series that seems like it directly contradicts the Fury issue earlier in the collection.
