    Default Battle Scars #6 *Spoilers*

    So, Marcus Johnson was NEVER really Marcus Johnson! he was Nick Fury THE ENTIRE TIME! Nick Fury Jr., to be specific. His mother originally named him Nicholas Fury when he was born, but O.G. Nick had it buried to hide them from his enemies.

    well, it was a decent jaunt through the MU's underbelly — a more fast-paced, action-packed approach than Hickman's Secret Warriors. but it still didn't justify my money.

    in the end, i feel this editorially mandated change fell flat, and leaves me unsatisfied that the Nick Fury i've grown to know and love will now be a bit player.

    But Nick Fury isn't going to become a bit player. He has actually been a bit player all these past years...and NO ONE SAID ANYTHING. He is joining the Defenders and showing up in Winter Solider. That's hardly becoming a bit player. He likely to be more included then he has in a while. Plus he has a Max book.

    Just when I though I couldn't have less respect for Marvel editorial. At least they keep surprising me in that way.

    That's because the majority of artists aren't versed in the black man's haircut. I think ChrissCross was the artist who brought this plight to my attention, but that's really the truth of it. The USM artists seem to have a handle on it though.

    As for this particular character, it's solely to make him look like SLJ/Ultimate Fury.
    Why aren't you reading Winter Soldier? You should be!

    I remember seeing someone mention the idea of a Psylocke situation happening. Maybe something like having something to Nicky Fury's Body and Marcus Johnson's mind and then putting Fury's mind in Johnson's body. I think I would have probably liked that more because we would at least have the original Nick Fury even though he would look different.
    Bra'tac: Now we die.
    O'Neill: Well, that's a bad plan.

    O'Neill: I've spent my whole life sticking it to the man.
    Jackson: Well now you will be the man.
    O'Neill: I don't think I can be the man.

    This isn't like Nova where he was at the vanguard of a particular corner of the MU (and I don't even agree with those complaints). Nick Fury hasn't really been a major player since Secret Wars, which resulted in his departure from SHIELD. That was before Civil War happened. He didn't show up in a regular capacity until Secret Warriors, IIRC. Since that ended he's been up to bupkis.

    Fury has been sidelined for years.

    This, but the trend Started with Black Panther [who had the bald head with goat tee] If I recall correctly...and then Bendis decided to make Luke Cage that way, You had Ult. Fury this way...you have the guy Gauntlet from Avengers: I also...lol...for whatever reason...Black Bald guys with the goat-tee everywhere. LOL.

    It has to be some kind of running joke. But I think you are right. Maybe they just don't know how to draw it correctly.

    Agreed...which is why all this is really funny to me. He is actually COMING UP with all of this...being a part of two books, with two meta plot moving writers in Fraction and Bru and a Max title.

    Good series I enjoyed it.


    Also I totally called it. Check back to my first post in the Battle Scars #1 thread.

    I just opened a new thread to siphon off the hate. "Nick Fury's". Hopefully this thread can just focus on the story.

    Yeah this was a little weird. I'm not saying I hate it. I mean I understand why they did it. but for some reason it just doesn't seem right. But since Fury really hasn't been in anything recently (I mean really when was the last time we saw that eyed B*st*rd) I don't really care for the change. Just hope they treat Johnson well.
