“So Shall Ye Reap... Death!”

In "So Shall Ye Reap... Death!", Jim Steranko delivers a striking blend of sci-fi dread and pulpy adventure as Nick Fury and Jimmy Woo crash-land on a remote volcanic island that’s become a twisted Garden of Eden and living lab. Created by the reclusive scientist Centurius, who vanished in the 1930s, the island teems with resurrected and engineered lifeforms, all part of a plan to purge Earth with a forty-day firestorm. Steranko’s dynamic artwork—both in story and on the cover—anchors a tale of isolation, ambition, and the perilous cost of playing god.

Off the Pacific Coast, en route to the Heli-Carrier Fury and Jimmy Woo are knocked out of the sky and wind up on a volcanic island transformed into a Garden of Eden and biological laboratory by Centurius, a scientist who disappeared in the 1930s when his theories were scoffed at. After creating both new and extinct forms of life and sending them into space Centurius plans to rain down fire on the Earth for forty days and forty nights, cleansing it and starting the world anew. With the help of a visiting movie company and their robot gorilla prop, Fury and Woo put the kibosh on his plans.
