This was messy. The first one was the best.

Loved the Kirby pages and history.

Phil Coulson attempts to close Nick Fury's only open case file on a man named D.E.A.T.H.
An unusual Dum Dum Duggan LMD has been activated for work with a special SHIELD team named S.T.A.K.E.
Finally an original SHIELD story by Jim Steranko and Jack Kirby.
It's no secret that I've become a huge fan of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, but that hasn't entirely carried over to the comic based loosely off the show. I do enjoy Phil Coulson, but I wish the comic would utilize more of the team. This issue utilizes a larger SHIELD team including Maria Hill and Nick Fury Jr.
It's interesting seeing Coulson take on a case Nick Fury couldn't close and as is often the case, things are not as they seem.
Reactivating a Dum Dum Duggan LMD that knows it's an LMD and just wants to be left in peace seems like a wise choice made by Maria Hill. Despite the LMD Duggan's reticence at being activated he has too much Duggan in him not to help finish a case. It appears this issue will start a new SHIELD series, The Howling Commandos. I'm not sure that it will be that successful, but I'm willing to try it.
SHIELD #9 was a good issue that opened some interesting threads that I'd certainly like to find out more about.
3.5 out of 5 stars
