Frank Castle begins the suicide mission to rescue Nick Fury. But if you know Frank Castle, he’s not usually the one who ends up dead in an impossible situation. The C.I.A., however, don’t quite understand Castle’s capabilities and employ drastic measures to ensure that Castle and Fury don’t leave Hanoi alive.

The Viet Cong have Nick Fury in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison. Even a man with Frank Castle’s specific skill set (which gets shown off in a brutal fashion this issue) will not be enough to get in, get Fury and get out. Making matters worse, Castle isn’t the only party trying to get Fury…
Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in
Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!
Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.
Bear Pirate Viking Queen #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue’s narrative didn’t go in the direction we expected and definitely kept us on our toes. That mixed absolutely stunning art has us excited to check out the second issue of the series.
Beyond the Pale #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – War correspondent Hetta Sawyer is looking into the disproportional loss of black soldiers in the Vietnam War. Leads say losses are especially high at Firebase Tartarus, with most of them simply gone missing, their fate unknown. Something sinister is happening at Tartarus, and Hetta intends to uncover the truth.
The Boy Wonder #2 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – The first issue was fantastic with Damian Wayne contemplating what makes each Robin special. Add in some great art and it’s a fantastic read.
Falling in Love on the Path to Hell #1 (Image Comics) – Western gunslingers and samurais in one comic? Yeah, we’re intrigued.
Get Fury #2 (Marvel) – The first issue had us sucked in as we’re taken to Vietnam where Fury has been captured and Frank Castle is sent to assassinate him before the enemy gets information out of him.
Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 (VIZ Media) – The series has been fantastic at mixing action with some heart as it takes the kaiju concept in new and interesting directions.
Mammoth #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – Something is wrong in the deep forests of Broke Tree Valley. Something deadly. Something mammoth. We want to find out what!
My Adventures of Superman #1 (DC Comics) – Spinning out of the animated series. The comic takes place after the first season.
Profane #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Solving murders in Los Angeles is the daily bread of private detective Will Profane, but something is strange about his latest case. We’re suckers for detective stories.
Scarlett #1 (Skybound) – The first issue is fantastic and continues to build towards the eventual G.I. JOE.
Space Ghost #2 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The first issue was fantastic breathing new life into the classic franchise and getting us excited for what comes next.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Alpha #1 (IDW Publishing) – What’s the world like without the TMNT? Since their time-spanning victory over Armaggon, the Turtles have started to pursue other interests, leaving a void in New York among humans and mutants alike. Plus, see what’s coming with the new series!
Ultimates #1 (Marvel) – Marvel’s Ultimate line has been great so far. This first team takes on the greater conspiracy of the world as it picks up after the shocking events that launched the new universe.
X-Men #35 (Marvel) – Celebrate 700 issues of Uncanny X-Men as an era ends!

TARGET: FURY!
The plot thickens as Frank Castle drops into Hanoi on his mission to assassinate Nick Fury. Nick Fury is making his OWN journey to Hanoi at gunpoint and what they find along the way is truly horrifying.
It’s 1971, there is a war raging in Vietnam, and Nick Fury has been captured by the Viet Cong. At this moment, they don’t quite understand that they have in their possession a man who knows enough secrets to damage the United States beyond comprehension. The C.I.A., however, DOES realize this and they can’t risk their enemy getting those secrets, so they dispatch the most deadly man in the U.S. Army – LT. Frank Castle. Get Fury #1 delivers a debut that bleeds classic Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows delivering a great concept and over the top shocks.
When it comes to Garth Ennis mature rated comics, be prepared for shocks. They’re usually over the top stepping into comedic levels that is hard to take seriously. Get Fury #1 builds to those moments in what is a really solid concept and debut.
Set during the Vietnam War, Fury has been captured by the Viet Cong and holds so much information in his head, the U.S. is afraid he’ll be tortured for it. So, they send Frank Castle in, not to free Fury, but to eliminate him. Now, why can’t they rescue Fury? That’s explained. Why send Castle? That’s explained too. Ennis does an amazing job of not only setting up the concept but answering questions that might take readers out of it and does so in a very natural way.
Ennis also gives us some human elements to it as well. Fury is the leader we’d expect and want instructing his men on how to survive and delivering some key details. There’s some emotion as things go south for his team where you feel his anger. Castle’s introduction is one of the best I’ve seen with a moment that’s just fantastic as he goes back and forth with some other soldiers. It shows how… off… Castle is but also a code he goes by and how he’ll stand up for his men. It throws into question how he’ll handle the mission he’s presented with.
The art is solid with Jacen Burrows’ usual style. With ink by Guillermo Ortego, color by Nolan Woodard, and lettering by Rob Steen, the comic feels like it builds to the crazy with an ending full of bloody shocks you’d expect from this duo. What begins as horror goes to levels that are so excessive it’s almost comical and pulls the reader from being grossed out to entertained.
There’s a rawness to the comic in both its art and dialogue. It has its feet planted in the world of Ennis/Burrows and of the time. It’s full of dialogue and words that’ll make readers cringe at times with racist terminology which, while outdated today, is right at home considering the setting. But be warned, it’s there.
Overall, Get Fury #1 feels like a lost Rambo script in some ways. It takes classic characters, a real setting, mixes it up with a pretty straightforward mission, and adds in some ultra-violence. Altogether, it’s classic Ennis fans will enjoy.
