When the ESP Division is wiped out on Bedloe Island, Nick Fury turns to Captain America for help, leading to a desperate stand beneath the Statue of Liberty against an army of invaders armed with an "Id-Paralyzer" designed to enslave the East Coast. With Cap mid-air thanks to a malfunctioning anti-grav belt and Fury teetering off the torch, the stakes couldn’t be higher—especially with Marie Severin’s striking cover by Dan Adkins capturing the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.

Cap introduces Fury to an old friend, FBI man Jimmy Woo as Fury relates the events of November 10, 1965. The ESP Division became aware of a threat on Bedloe Island before they were killed by an explosion. Fury asked Cap for aid and the two met under the Statue of Liberty, where they found an army of invaders planning to use an "Id-Paralyzer" to turn everyone on the East Coast into mindless slaves. Cap races toward the Baxter Building for help, but the anti-grav belt he "borrowed" from the invaders cuts out in mid-air! Meanwhile, Fury, overcome by numbers, is tossed off the Statue's torch.
