Miss Fury #1 Review


Miss Fury has instantly caught my attention and I’m overjoyed that I have the privileged of reviewing this first issue. She is a woman of power in the midst of high intensity plot.

THE PULP HEROINE RETURNS! When Miss Fury foils a wartime plot by Nazi secret agents, she is catapulted through time… or so it seems. Is she really careening from past to future and back, or has she lost her mind? And if her sanity remains intact, can one lone heroine possibly hope to end World War II by herself, a conflict still waged into the year 2013? As witness to generations of bloodshed and violence, Miss Fury has lots of righteous rage… and anger is her fearsome power!

Miss Fury, or Marla Drake, is a very wealthy woman of superior confidence. With money, a score to settle, and an alter ego to boot she’s out to save the world from one of the greatest horrors of humanity’s past.

The author of this piece is Rob Williams. As far as new issues go, there is usually a lot of information to be said in a very short amount of time and this can make or break any form of writing. But Williams smoothly explains what could be an easily convoluted plot. A revived character, time travel, and super heroes is a lot to lay out in twenty pages or so. The gist of Miss Fury’s birth is never drink anything in Africa. Or do, and become an awesome Cat Lady Sex Goddess with a small klepto fetish.

The art of this comic is done by Jack Herbert and is phenomenal. I did have to pause after Fury’s love for the “dark continent” was revealed. But other than that brief moment of bow chicka wow wow, it’s beautiful. Each panel transitions seamlessly to the next and, let’s face it, the pages are just sexy.

I heartily look forward to the second issue and give this one a five out of five. I have no complaints and I feel like it has started with a great platform to launch from.

5/5
