This is the first shot in a war that will result in the establishment of a new global power structure...and who's caught in the middle? You guessed it: Nick Fury and his team of Caterpillars.

nickfury would spank you silly for being such a bitch... if he actually exsisted

Posted by edward on 06/22/09 at 07:12 PM

Leather monkey suit and big guns, looks kind of gay...not that there's anything wrong with that. I guess he would like spanking.

oh jeez, are you really go out on a limb and saying musclar dudes in spandex are kind of gay? that's bold. i don't think anyone's come to that conclusion before.... and that's why you need a Nick fury slap. :)

Posted by edward on 06/22/09 at 08:53 PM

I don't think its gay.....he does look really freaking sexy in that suit though......wait oh crap.

i absolutely refuse to accept i'm in denial

Posted by edward on 06/22/09 at 09:41 PM

No just Nick Fury. I heared he lost his eye in a spanking orgy accident.

 Joking aside. Is the serie any good? I'm on the fence with this one

Posted by emacor72 on 06/22/09 at 10:11 PM

this book is just barely good enough to make me want to read the next. just barely....

@TopGun I totally agree, when I saw it was coming out I was contimplating getting it or not. 

Posted by ecthelion on 06/23/09 at 01:38 AM

@ecthelion - I doubt it will be but i'm Hoping that this is the issue that breaks that association with this book and kicks it into the badass realm and makes me actually care

Posted by TopGun on 06/23/09 at 12:54 PM

@emacor - I've been enjoying it, but I wouldn't say it's a standout book or anything like that.  I was a big fan of Hickman's Image stuff, so I followed him to here and DR: Fantastic Four as well.  If you're interested in checking out some of Hickman's Marvel stuff, I would say get the DR:FF trade when it hits, or track down the back issues.  Great stuff.

I've been enjoying this book alot, especially the last issue. However I'm enjoying the Fury/ex-SHIELD agents plot better than the plot following the kids (I don't even remember there names!) So I wonder, when Dark Reign is over and done, do you think Fury will take all these ex-agents and create a new orginization like SHIELD? Possibly give it a name with an accronym that doesn't keep changing?

Now that Capt. Britain is on its way out, It's maybe my favorite Marvel book right now.

Posted by sholcroft on 06/23/09 at 08:08 PM

Last issue was STRONG.  I'm just waiting for the powder keg to blow. 

Posted by Crippler on 06/23/09 at 08:25 PM

One of my favorite Marvel books for sure. Completely worth it.

Nick Fury is the greatest.

Posted by kwisdumb on 06/23/09 at 09:13 PM

I really wonder how long this book will last.  Does it just become a Nick Fury solo book with the team/ex-SHIELD agents as support players? Or will Hickman actually get some mileage out of the new characters? Or will it just get canceled after 12-15 issues?

Posted by ABirdseysView on 06/23/09 at 10:04 PM

It's been a solid first arc. The art is brilliant and the story has been strong. Keen to see where they take all the threads.

DITTO Kwisdumb!  I can't wait to get this book today. 

Posted by tschafer on 06/24/09 at 10:42 AM

Best new series eh? Way to stick it to Dark Avengers!

Posted by miyamotofreak on 06/24/09 at 02:18 PM

@miyamotofreak - DARK AVENGERS is just the penultimate best new series.

This was good. Not as good as the last issue, but worthy of 4-stars all the way. It seemed a little short to me, but I think that works in a book like this. The coloring I wasn't a big fan of, but Nick Fury, as always, is a badass. 4/5.

Posted by kwisdumb on 06/25/09 at 02:57 AM

Really liked this.  That last two page spread was badass.  Caselli is great.

Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 06/25/09 at 08:11 AM

That two-pager towards the beginning, where you can just see the helicopters coming in towards the helicarrier is just beautiful.

Posted by Noto on 06/25/09 at 06:35 PM

I like how Hickman is making the recap page fun, like the Dugan quote.  If memory serves correctly he's done different things previously.

Posted by ABirdseysView on 06/25/09 at 09:27 PM

Wow. Wow, this may be the POW for me. Loved the narative.

 

Posted by DenverDave on 06/26/09 at 08:50 AM

I loved the pencils, but didn't care for the colouring, which was too bad.  Otherwise, this book continues to build.  I'm still waiting for the A-HA! moment which I think we'll be seeing next issue...  Even if not.. well.. how bad-ass was Dugan in this issue!?  That was AWESOME!
