This issue is OK, though I'm not really sure what we get here.
The point seems to be to show how important M.O.D.O.K. has become to Hill. He not only allows S.H.I.E.L.D. to employ all sorts of new weapons (like the bizarre mushroom-gun, which Nick uses to take down the Fury somehow), but, relatedly, to expand into new areas of research, since M.O.D.O.K. understand the weirder outer-limits of science better than anyone else at S.H.I.E.L.D.
I get that M.O.D.O.K. is a mad scientist, but I think that we needed a little clearer explanation of the specifics. For example, how did the mushroom gun stop the Fury? Kot's done a pretty good job of keeping these sorts of things vague and making it work, but that approach isn't going to work all the time. After all, it's still unclear what the Fury is actually doing or why the Walled City of Kowloon suddenly appeared from another dimension. When the heroes are winning with mushroom guns, some explanation is probably necessary.
