Annual of the second series.
Nick Fury is the narrator of this story, in which the military uses of superhuman technology are shown.
There are Giant Man soldiers, Iron Man soldiers and the '4 seasons' (which are never seen in action).
In the background, an infallible old hitman (Nyx) is hired to eliminate Nick Fury, but it turns out that Fury himself hired him to eliminate him.
The whole story is a prelude to the finale of the second series and underlines the fascist address of this SHIELD and Fury.
