Nick Fury's Howling Commandos #1 [Director's Cut]

"Creatures on the Loose!" kicks off Nick Fury's Howling Commandos #1 [Director's Cut] with a bold premise: Fury assembles a S.H.I.E.L.D. unit of monsters, thrusting them under the reluctant command of Quartermain. The Howling Commandos launch a high-stakes assault on a hidden cell of the Lords of the Living Lightning, setting a wild, action-packed tone from the first page. Written by Keith Giffen and illustrated with dynamic energy by Eduardo Francisco—his bold pencils sharpened by Kris Justice’s inks—this 2005 Marvel standout features a striking cover by Francisco and Justice, capturing the series’ defiant, genre-blending spirit.
