Summary: FURY-ious
Comment: Ever since he blew us all away with his ground breaking work on Preacher, Garth Ennis has taken to the words British humor to an all new level. His wor on the Punisher comes to no difference, though you could feel that he was not letting loose, his great imagination constrained. Along comes FURY and things just go over the top.
Ennis has long been associated with his partner in crime Steve Dilon. The two take dark humor to different levels. Without his partner on this book, Ennis tries his best to tone the gruesomeness so that Darrick Robertson can catch up. And he does so fabulously. The story is simple. The world has changed and everything has become more beaurocratic and down-toned. Unlinke the old days where everything just went bump in the night and the shadows were alive with Commies out hunting for blood. Fury is the hero of yesteryear which time has finally caught up with. He inadvertently creates a war in a small island country that soon takes him into the middle of the action, just where he likes it. The ending, however is not something he was expecting for.
Ennis manages to create and eclectic supporting cast. From the madly distorted F#$k Face to a bickering crazy nephew of Fury's that no other author has brought notice to. The story is a wild fire and moves like one. Robertson answers Ennis's calling and brings out an amazing different visage to the world of Gart Ennis. These two can work togetherwithout any problems, though you do miss Dillon at times.
Ennis is gearing to write a MAX Punisher title now and you know how that's going to work. Robertson is off doing Wolverine. Fury brings those two powerhorse creative together for a wonderful read all the way.

Summary: Meet Nick Fury
Comment: After his long run on the classic and critically acclaimed Preacher series and his re-invention of The Punisher, Garth Ennis was given the task of giving the same treatment to Nick Fury. And what a job he did. Collecting the six issue mini-series; Fury tells the story of a modern day Nick Fury: a profanity laden, whorring, cold war dinosaur who longs for the days when he could shoot first and ask questions later. Tired of his day in, day out life, his hopeless and annoying "nephew" Wendel, and disgusted by what S.H.I.E.L.D. (the organization he used to run) has become; he is soon made an offer by an old enemy to go off to some little third world country and start a war of their own to re-live their glory days. Nick doesn't take him seriously, but soon enough he learns it was no joke, and once again Nick Fury is being counted upon. Ennis has really gone all out here: full of his penchant ultra graphic violence, a severe lack of being politically correct, and being insanely darkly humerous; Fury is one of the best pieces of comic art to come out of Marvel in quite some time. The art by Darick Robertson and Jimmy Palmiotti is as equally fantastic and shows all the graphic, gritty detail. Also, look for various in-jokes and references to Ennis' Preacher saga; including a man whose disfigured face is a clear homage/re-interpretation of Arseface from the Preacher comics. All in all, if you like comics in the least bit and can handle everything contained in these pages (it well deserves it's Parental Advisory label) then you will definitely love Fury. Also highly recommended is any of Ennis' work on The Punisher.

Summary: The most politically incorrect Marvel comic book ever!
Comment: Fury is definitely the most politically incorrect comic book that was ever published by Marvel. And you will love it!
The Cold War is over and Nick Fury has been promoted to a position away from all the action he enjoyed in his early career as the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. He hates his life, misses the action, hates his adopted nephew, and to be quite honest - you will truly feel sorry for the situation he is in.
Then an ex-Soviet enemy shows up for a talk and tips Nick that he also misses all the action and that he is about to start a conflict to bring the old days back. Indeed, that's what he does, and Nick is put back into action. The wording is unbelievable, and everything is so wrong that there is even a dude with a code name "..."... ha-ha... that was an hilarious touch. Anyway, buy it, enjoy it, and keep it away from under aged fans.
