Dear God, I love a good war comic. I have been let down so hard in the past and this, this glorious gem, has stoked the fire in my soul for the genre again. It is sooo good! We continue in on Nick Fury (in his heyday) in communist Indochina. It opens with a sex scene and, folks, the battle and storyline here is a must read if you enjoy war comics. Ennis writes war at its best and can wrap a story around it so well that reading it is just something you can’t NOT do.
Nick Fury is suave and brutal wrapped into a character that looks how I wish I looked. This story is amazing.
We left with Fury saying he fucks and fights like a demon and we open with him fucking like a demon.
He needs to keep Hatherly from getting hot headed (especially around the nazi). When he finds out that Hatherly is leaving, Fury heads over to his post at the fort. Now, there is some drama arising with the aforementioned hulking former Nazi, Sergeant Steinhoff. He is fighting on our team and has the tremendous past we would expect of a former Nazi. This lets Ennis sift in the moral ambiguity that he is amazing at. The nazi and Fury end up in a fucking brutal brawl before the fort comes under attack. This explodes into a fantastic battle and ends with us wondering what is going to happen next. We start with Fury fucking like a demon and end with him fighting like a demon. Just, so good!
Parlov matches Fury’s grizzly and hardened demeanor with a vision we would expect of him. He does justice to the trophy of testosterone and manliness that is Nick Fury.
BUY THIS!
About the Author
Hey, Scott,I, too, love comics and Portland. After readnig the recent Willamette Weekly article about Diamond Distributers raising the requirements for their distribution of comics ( and, more importantly, the resulting loss of business and exposure of smaller, independent comics), I felt compelled to do something.A fellow comic aficionado suggested I might offer to write for an existing blog (I have no interest in starting my own blog), particularly on comics that are less known. Your blog came up in conversation. After readnig your comment on this blog not being a review blog, you may have absolutely no interest in this discussion. But even if you don’t, you may have an idea where I may offer writing to help comics books (particularly independents) thrive. BTW, I’m a comics reader since 1978. Stared with Conan, Spiderman and the X-Men. Followed most of Cerebus. Into American Flag. Now read alot of DC; JLA, Batman, etc. Caught the latest Punisher Mini. I am also following The Boys, Ex Machina, and wish to hell that Fell and Powers issues were still coming out.Dom
