Ewings been one of Marvels best architects over the years, working on developing amazing character defining work, diluting them to their essence, and building up what works, while fixing what doesnt. Hes building up from his previous work in minis like Wasp, and bringing it here to cultivate it, and building an arc that can touch all corners of the Marvel universe. While hes not as well known as or lauded as some writers, his quality of work should speak volumes. Read Full Review

If you like espionage, spy gadgetry, and stories that show the wide breadth of a hero's life, pick up Fury #1. It honors the longstanding hero and sets up new villains and a new direction for young Nick Fury to be further explored. Read Full Review

All of the artist bring unique and classic styles of imagery to the issue. The visuals are fun and remind me of all of the things I loved about the Nick Fury character and his adventures. Read Full Review

Al Ewing dives us into the mystery surrounding the Zodiac key and uses two Nick Fury's to do it. This story works because Ewing writes an interesting story with killer art. Read Full Review

ury #1 does an excellent job wrapping up the Man on the Wall's 60 year saga while setting up a bunch of future stories down the line for Nick Fury Jr. We'll see if they stick, and it's delightful to see Al Ewing and this varied team of artists weave together old Marvel lore in such an entertaining package.

If you're looking for a riveting one-and-done standalone comic book that doesn't require any further reading once you've turned past the final page, Fury #1 isn't a bad place to start. Read Full Review

If you can comb through the confusing elements and backstories, you'll see some potential involving Fury and the possibilities of some pretty cool espionage narratives on the horizon. However, since I'm solely grading THIS issue, it's extremely hard to overlook the crazy narrative beats, heavy dialogue, and confusing story beats for new fans interested in test-driving this narrative on Nick Fury.

A celebration of both Nick Furys and a possible new day for SHIELD, all wrapped in some slightly overdone tributes. Read Full Review

Fury #1 utilizes a writer with a deep appreciation for comics and superhero history with a lineup of impressive artists applying their distinctive approaches in appropriate settings; it has all of the pieces necessary to thrill Nick Fury fans. Yet it lacks a story or purpose capable of thrilling, prioritizing style over substance in an issue that few Marvel readers would ever notice they missed. Read Full Review

The first half of this is so Steranko-riffic in art and concept that I was hoping this would be a retro miniseries, like Ewing's Ant-Man or Wasp.

But alas, it's just a one-shot to tweak the status quo and foreshadow upcoming stories in…some unknown title or titles.

It's still a ton and a half of fun, packed to the gills with continuity nods, jokes, and over-the-top super-espionage. The storytelling's clear and clever throughout, but my favorite parts are definitely the earlier "chapters" that do their level best to recapture the feel of the 1968 Steranko series.

I expected more references to Who Remembers Scorpio? 0/10
