Indexer Notes

In-Joke alert: Nick Fury appears to Daisy at the beginning of the story as a bald African American man with an eyepatch--much as he appears in the Marvel Ultimate Universe as created by Bendis. At the end of their conversation, Daisy says, "By the way, that is the worst disguise ever, Nick."
