review 1: This actually was pretty good.Nick Fury, the chief spy in the Marvel Universe, tells of his time as a an operative for the CIA after WWII in a warts and all manner. You don't see a single cape and Fury hasn't even realised that he is practically immortal yet.His tale is focuses on the more disastrous conflicts (Vietnam and Cuba in this book) and they are not sugar coated in any way. Nick Fury is not portrayed as counterpart of the Watchman's Comedian, instead he is a pragmatic soldier and spy dealing with whatever is thrown at him.I note that his classic henchmen, such as Dum Dum Dugan, are absent but this allows for leaner storytelling and the additional of a femme fatale(ish) character who works for his political backer.
review 2: A great, mature spy story ... morethat was more dense than I expected. I thought the story would have less dialogue, lots of action with splash pages, or double splash pages. Instead, nearly every page has 4-6 wide, rectangular panels. The art by Parlov was terrific and readers familiar with Ennis' Punisher work run will recall the artist drew many stories a couple years back. I eagerly await more Fury stories by these creators. less
