After a scintillating debut, Nick Fury comes through again with its second outing. But while that first issue's narrative may have been anchored in a traditional spy narrative, writer James Robinson brings the story into the realm of the truly weird in this issue. Artists ACO, Hugo Petrus, and Rachelle Rosenberg continue to display their utter mastery here, the strength of their work making Nick Fury #2 an absolute must-read. Read Full Review
Yes, it's a fun read, but there's very little in the way of depth here. The script offers almost no insight into who Nick Fury Jr. is or what makes him tick. That's been the character's core flaw from the very beginning, and unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be changing now. Read Full Review
Don't worry If you missed the last issue, this issue hits the same beats and showcases Marvel's latest take on a forced series. Read Full Review
I read this digitally last week when my comics were hung up in the mail and I didn't want to wait. I would have given it a 7.5 for a solid caper plot and strong visuals. But when I got the actual floppy in my hands, I had to shake my head at how great Aco's art and layouts read in the physical form. I think for most comics, it doesn't really matter, but digital doesn't quite do justice to its artist's work like the printed copy does. So, yeah...I'm hoping (and trusting) that James Robinson goes a little deeper with characterization as this series continues, but so far, it is worthy as a great read based on Aco's amazing work alone.
I really like this series. I know there is a lack of character development, but that is made up for with great art and cool missions. Sometimes I do not need to read something with a ton of in depth tropes. This reminds me of the moon knight run from ellis as it is just single issue stories so far. So far so good.
Frankie Noble complicates what should be a perfectly ordinary "stop the sci-fi samurai yakuza mob from holding the Earth hostage with their moon-based plate tectonic ray" mission for Nick Fury Jr. Shallow? Yes. But this is one case where style and brilliant art forgive a multitude of sins. There's simply not a better-designed book in the Marvel lineup right now, and diving too deep into the absurd premises behind these missions or pausing the action for character development would spoil the whole ride. This series badly needs to introduce some depth and complexity with its next issue, though.
