Get Fury #1 is a barebones, gritty, ugly, gruesome war comic that weaves a tale about two famous Marvel characters intersecting on the field of battle. Ennis delivers a comic that chooses to show war as ugly as it truly is without the glamour or glory, and the art team brings the violence to vivid life. Read Full Review

Frank Castle and old school Nick Fury are back, and with this creative team the blood is set to flow. Read Full Review

This is going to be one hell of a ride. Read Full Review

Get Fury has all the makings for a classic showdown. It's incredibly adult as it never holds back with violence and swearing while establishing the hard edge of Frank Castle and Fury. It'll be interesting to see them go head to head, but this stage we must patiently wait. Read Full Review

Even figures like Castle and Fury are made to seem like minor figures in a much larger world and when the introduction is complete by issue's end, readers are readied to read a bona fide war story and all that it really entails. Read Full Review

Overall, Get Fury #1 feels like a lost Rambo script in some ways. It takes classic characters, a real setting, mixes it up with a pretty straightforward mission, and adds in some ultra-violence. Altogether, it's classic Ennis fans will enjoy. Read Full Review

Get Fury #1 dangles an intriguing setup with engaging characters over the readers head, but then hits them with childish dialog and lackluster visuals. Read Full Review

Plot Frank Castle was already a soldier feared for his tenacity and efficiency, also for his lack of respect for authority. We are in the Vietnam War in 1971 and his new mission is to eliminate an elite soldier for being a prisoner of war. Frank Castle is ordered to eliminate Nick Fury, as the US government fears that all of Fury's Military Intelligence knowledge will be extracted through interrogations. Fury is being transferred to a mysterious location with two other soldiers, who are killed in the most cruel way in Nick's presence, just to break his will. Shocking start to this miniseries that mixes the war genre with the superhero genre at a key moment in Contemporary History, where Garth Ennis demonstrates his love for war st ories and manages to create this hyperviolent atmosphere in the Marvel universe. Art It is a very detailed art, with nuances of comics from the 1980s as well as its color palette; this decade the Vietnam War became a film genre. The details of the weapons, landscapes, uniforms are hypnotizing. Summary Nick Fury becomes a key target of the US Army that they need to silence, so they look for their best commando soldier...FRANK CASTLE. This war story takes place before the Marvel Universe was about superheroes. more

Ennis has in fact matured a little over the decades, but that is not immediately evident in this particular issue, which reads as though Punisher Max never ended. I don't love everything about Ennis's style but he's a great storyteller. I rolled my eyes a lot back in the day, reading Punisher Max--but that doesn't change the fact that Punisher Max absolutely kicked ass. Ergo, *more* Punisher Max works for me, warts and all.

It's good to see Frank Castle again. I was excited but not "that" excited for this book to come out, but how things have been lately with my favorite character, anything done and done right, it's good and I will gladly accept it. Don't expect anything action packed, but this is a set-up issue, nothing groundbreaking in terms of storytelling and the reasons that will put Frank's crosshairs on Nick Fury were kind of "predictable". Either way, it started well, I'm more pumped by this than Soviet #1 or even Platoon #1. The artwork was good, and again, Jacen Burrows shows how to make violent scenes as we saw in Punisher: Soviet. Can't wait for the rest of the story and how things will not be that "simple" as Ennis used to show us. Welcome back, Frank. It's good to have you back, buddy. more

Good set up. There's not a lot going on, but it does set up the series in a way that makes me want to read more.
