This is the best Fury MAX comic yet. Arcs that were established three graphic novels ago were resolved. A particularly well-written villain met his fate. Fury faces the repercussions of his actions.
All of this is shot through with Garth Ennis's authorial voice. While some may see in him a cynic, I see the brokenhearted and disillusioned. He's a man who fell in love with the American promise, but who hasn't reconciled himself to the American reality. For Ennis, the story of the Cold War is a story of venality and cowardice. For me, it's a story of blundering semi-competence.
Regardless, one can't deny that Ennis has crafted a well-told story with a distinct point of view. I'm told there's one collection in this line. I look forward to learning what's in store.
