Miss Fury #11 Review

The end of this journey is here, but does it go out with a whimper or a bang? Read on to find out.

The official description from Dynamite:

FINAL ISSUE!!! With Miss Fury now allied with US Naval Intelligence she is parachuted into wartime Europe in order to track down Schauburger’s laboratory in Germany. Can she find her kidnapped lover, Captain Chandler, there? And who is attacking Schauburger during his garbled ghostly messages? Nazi forces are everywhere but a war can be fought on many fronts, as Miss Fury is about to discover…

As this yarn concludes this is still a title that’s worth a trip to the local shop! I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t looking forward to writing this particular review for UTF. Saying so long and farewell to our plucky heroine is not an easy task, and for as rushed as this issue honestly feels the creative team still manages to deliver an opus that’s worth smiling about.

Rob Williams pens the script as he gives our heroine one last shot to understand herself and take down her enemies in order to achieve, hopefully, her own happy ending. That’s what this entire jaunt boils down to as Marla Drake goes on one final fools errand in a mission that, on surface level, looks near impossible by almost any standard. Through the execution of the scribe we see reason and revelations that allow for a clear path, but it’s hard to shake the wake of a quick narrative that jumps around quite a bit.

Even so the illustrator stands ready to back up each bit of plot with a detailed and captivating display. Jonathan Lau absolutely kills it on every page, as the talent is asked to draw some increasingly complicated visualizations. Through his works and with the aid of colorist Ivan Nunes, the whole of the release ebbs and flows with the unique personality that’s been stuck to this volume from its first issue. To sum up: this is exactly the caliber work that I’ve honestly come to expect from these individuals.

Miss Fury #11 feels like two to three issues rolled into one, but through the skills of the creative team we’re given a final chapter that feels right enough to earn fan attention and critic praise. It may not be a completely perfect conclusion but enough’s done right to easily earn a recommendation from me.
