Miss Fury #8 Review


Miss Fury Banner

Is this revived property something that a modern audience should bother picking up? Read on to find out.

The official description from Dynamite:

The Pharoah of Time is alive and he and his enormous mothership have come to 1943’s New York City for Miss Fury. But which one will he find? The immoral murderer with the samurai sword, the titanic stash of grenades and the epic love of debauchery or the Miss Fury who is lost in time, grasping for a sense of sanity and for the good inside her? It’s a metaphysical battle played out with martial arts as two futures of our hero fight for supremacy, and only one Miss Fury is getting out alive.

Miss Fury 8_CAre you ready for an absolutely thrilling continuation of the intersection between two versions of Marla Drake? If so than this comic book is for you, as the creative team brings to the fore something that’s bound to have consequences.

Rob Williams pens the thrilling affair, and can I just say that the trademark personality which has made this series a must own simply oozes from the text. The narration flows beautifully as we see our heroine come face-to-face with some unexpected obstacles. For as complicated as the description sounds the script itself reads smoothly as we’re quickly sent into the action under the watchful gaze of a talented scribe. To sum up: this is a fun outing with no real blemishes to speak of, so sit back, relax and enjoy.

The art by Jack Herbert is detailed and a marvel to look at. He captures the raw emotions of some of the hard decisions presented by the author, which works toward selling some serious authenticity. The action sequences really caught my eye while carrying striking line work.  What made them stand out is the fact that they maintained chaotic fluidity in still form. In short: the pictures looked great as they make a case for this whole zany concept.

Miss Fury #8 may not be what people expect, but I found myself absolutely enjoying this release every step of the way. Highly recommended.

4.5/5
