“The Sky High Caper”
Nick Fury (Colonel Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury) is a Marvel Comics character. Created by writer/artist Jack Kirby and writer Stan Lee, Fury first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 (cover dated: May 1963), a World War II combat comic book series, in which Fury was depicted as a cigar-chomping, leader of an elite United States Army unit.
Marvel Comics introduced the modern Nick Fury in Fantastic Four #21 (cover dated: December 1963), making him a CIA agent. In Strange Tales #135 (cover dated: August 1965), the character again transformed, this time from a spy into the leading agent of the fictional espionage agency, S.H.I.E.L.D. In 2002, Nick Fury became a Black man that resembled actor Samuel L. Jackson in The Ultimates #1. Jackson would portray Fury in the Marvel Studios movies based on Marvel Comics, and the Jackson-lookalike Fury would replace the original white Fury in the main Marvel Universe.
That Sam Jackson Fury is the star of the new comic book series, Nick Fury. It is written by James Robinson; drawn by ACO (pencils) and Hugh Petrus (inks); colored by Rachelle Rosenberg; and lettered by Travis Lanham.
Nick Fury #1 (“The Sky High Caper”) opens with Nick Fury arriving in the French Riviera, where he must infiltrate the most secure parts of a imposing casino. Fury's target is a hidden data-stash belonging to Auric Goodfellow, a Hydra moneyman. Fury will likely be successful in getting what he wants, but Frankie Noble, Agent of Hydra plans on standing in his way.
I love the art in Nick Fury #1. Drawn by the artist known as ACO, the art recalls the Pop-Art infused comic book art that legendary comic book artist Jim Steranko produced during his run of Nick Fury comics in the late 1960. ACO's layout and design also recall Steve Rude's layout and design on his long-running comic book series, Nexus. ACO's art for Nick Fury combined with Rachelle Rosenberg's pastel-lite coloring sure is pretty.
However, the storytelling is shallow when it isn't confusing and confusing when it isn't shallow. As graphical storytelling, ACO's art is just too busy. Yeah, it is eye-candy to look at, but is a busy mess as storytelling. Honestly, if writer James Robinson had even attempted to tell a more complex story, there is no telling how crowded ACO would have made his art.
I think James Robinson offers in Nick Fury what Chris Samnee did in the first issue of his recent Black Widow comic book – an introductory issue that reads like a two-minute-egg version of an action sequence from a James Bond or Jason Bourne movie.
Honestly, I'll try the second issue of Nick Fury, although I never tried the second issue of Samnee's Black Widow.

Rated “T+”
“We are the Streets” Part 1 “Double Consciousness”
Although it was only published for seven issues in 2003, the comic book, The Crew, is apparently fondly remembered by some readers (myself among them) and comic book writers. Written by Christopher Priest and drawn by Joe Bennett, The Crew featured four hardened heroes who band together to fight for an impoverished neighborhood.
The Crew is the inspiration for the latest expansion of Marvel Comics' Black Panther line of comic books, Black Panther and The Crew. This new series is written Ta-Nehisi Coates; drawn by Butch Guice (pencils) and Scott Hanna (inks); colored by Dan Brown; and lettered by Joe Sabino.
Black Panther and The Crew #1 (“Double Consciousness”) opens in The Bronx in 1957 with a tale of Ezra Keith and his “crew.” The story moves to present day Harlem for the funeral of Ezra, who was killed while in police custody. Ezra's family has asked Misty Knight to investigate, but Knight is conflicted because of her ties to law enforcement. However, Misty is forced to admit that something is officially wrong and unites with the X-Men's Storm to fight the forces arrayed against her.
Apparently, writer Yona Harvey will script every other issue of this series, which means she will write Black Panther and The Crew #2 with Ta-Nehisi Coates returning for the third issue. I hope Harvey is as good as Coates is on this first issue, and I'm saying that considering that I did not expect much from the first issue. But I'm impressed and look forward to more.
Black Panther and The Crew #1 reads like one of those crime comic books published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint or Image Comics and written by someone like Ed Brubaker or Brian Azzarello. Coates offers a sharply written urban drama that is complicated about complex matters. Black people vs. cops – it is not so clear cut simply because there are so many players and groups of players involved with their own goals and motivations.
I like Butch Guice's pencil art; it is his storytelling that realizes Coates' script as a multi-layered, street-level superhero drama. I have always thought that Guice's talent was underutilized, but here he gets to show the scope of his graphical storytelling abilities. I highly recommend trying at least the first issue of Black Panther and The Crew.
