This FURY story takes us deep in the Cold War, with now-colonel Nick Fury a CIA operative in French Indochina and Cuba. The comic is going for hard-boiled paramilitary action, with plenty of guts & boobs to satisfy the red meat crowd and scrupulous attention to detail to satisfy the history nerds.
I like red meat. I'm a history nerd. I found 'My War Gone By, Vol. 1' to be entertaining in a whiskey & cigarettes kind of way. This Nick Fury isn't a glossy superhero wrangler, but a dirt-under-his-fingernails fighter who's most at home in the thick of the action. His supporting cast includes a trustworthy #1, a slinky dame, and a weasely politician. In other words, he's Lee Marvin in a hard-boiled war thriller.
No, his character doesn't develop over the course of the story. No, you aren't going to learn anything new. No, Ennis isn't writing a history book. Nevertheless, when taken for what it is, this is a Saturday Afternoon Syndicated Television good time. Have fun.
