Captain America/Nick Fury: the Otherworld War! #1 pg1-pg54

Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos ambush a German guard detail waiting for a delivery.  They watch as the Red Skull is given an artifact, and he begins to beat an old man to tell him how to use it.  Captain America and Bucky arrive and attack the Skull, so the Howlers decide to join in.  As the Red Skull attempts to escape, he vanishes in a vortex and Cap & Bucky are sucked in as well.  The Ancient One explains to Sgt. Fury that the Red Skull attacked him for the Eye of Agamotto, but he’s been taken to Dormammu’s realm, who could overtake the Earth if he acquired the amulet.  Fury and the Howlers decide to help Captain America get back and retrieve the amulet.  Meanwhile, Cap & Bucky fight the Skull and his Nazi soldiers.  They escape and the Skull strikes a deal with Dormammu: Skull will get the amulet from Captain America for Dormammu in exchange for his life.  The Howlers appear and begin to look for Cap.  Meanwhile, Cap & Bucky evade some Mindless Ones, but Bucky is injured, so Cap goes to look for help and supplies.  Fury and the Howlers come across a village and befriend a woman named Clea, who guides them to where she heard noises, and they find Cap.  Meanwhile, the Red Skull finds Bucky.  Fury, Cap, and the Howlers make their way back to where Bucky was, and find a note from the Skull instead.  The Ancient One’s astral form appears and they come up with a plan.  They meet the Skull and trick him into letting Bucky go with a fake amulet and they escape, which doesn’t please Dormammu, so he sends the Red Skull to face insanity.  Afterwards, Clea begins to believe that not all strangers are evil as she’s been taught.
