Nick Fury vs. Fin Fang Foom #1 is an enjoyable pulpy adventure that expands on Fury's past and gives Fin Fang Foom a much-needed spotlight. While the setup may seem absurd, the creative team brings impressive visuals and historical intrigue, even if the story feels thin and overly talkative. Read Full Review
Its a straightforward comic, but there are some interesting ideas about humanity and its fallibility that remain relevant even to this day spoken by the fancy magic dragon, no less. Such is the duality of superhero comics. Nick Fury vs. Fin Fang Foom #1 isnt very high concept or deep, but sometimes a simple one-and-done like this hits the spot. Read Full Review
Straczynski turned this somewhat ridiculous concept into a great little cautionary tale, that works quite well because it makes you think (without being preachy like most Marvel comics these days).
On the downside, there's a lot of talk (even for a fan of old comics like me), and Casagrande's art isn't quite as perfect as that Gary Frank cover. It's still good, but probably not the best choice for a testosterone-filled action story.
