• THE SCOOP: Want a fast-paced, irreverent, war/spy thriller laced
with a strong dose of very black humor? Then saddle up, soldier! This Mature
Readers adventure tells the story of an older, but no wiser, highly p.o.'d Nick
Fury who's found himself on the scrap heap and wants nothing more than to go
back into action. But the cold war is over, and the days when S.H.I.E.L.D. and
Hydra engaged in complex games of strategy and espionage with the fate of the
world at stake are gone. Or are they?
• THE STORY: After a brisk firefight in the Mexican desert, Fury
discovers both ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. and ex-Hydra personnel among the enemy dead
— further evidence that the glory days when good was good and evil was
evil are behind him and fading fast. But a ray of light on the horizon comes
from an unexpected source: an old enemy of Nick's is in town, an ex-Hydra
soldier who almost killed our grizzled hero — and vice versa — more
than a dozen times. And Rudy's got an offer for his old adversary... boy, does
he!
• THE CREATORS: You want intense? How's this lineup: Garth Ennis
(PUNISHER, Preacher) on words, Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan) on pencils,
and Jimmy Palmiotti (PUNISHER) on inks! We even got Bill Sienkiewicz (ELEKTRA
ASSASSIN) to supply covers! Now that's hard core!
• THE FORMAT: Each issue of this monthly, six-issue series will be 32
pages, with ads.
