The only way this can be improved if Fury was played by Samuel “Motherfucking” Jackson.

Jlarking said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:19 am

Or not. The IDEA of Sam Jackson is so much better then Sam Jackson actually acting. So while comic Sam Jackson Is badass real one is not.

If you have to make your transparent space helmet big enough to accommodate your hat, you might just have premature baldness issues.

Harvey Jerkwater said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:30 am

Is Fury smoking a cigar inside of his space helmet?

Because if he is, that raises this cover from Amazingly Awesome to Unbearably Awesome.

glorb said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:36 am

Space-War… just beautiful

J.H. said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:43 am

Does this mean we get a red alien with a Hitler moustache?

Because really, unless Sgt. Fury gets to fight Space Hitler what the hell is the point?

Illuyankas said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:45 am

@Harvey: He is. Holy crap.

Also that black fellow on the left appears to be smoking a pink dildo from this angle.

John said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:55 am

As long as Ennis doesn’t write it.

Zifnab said on March 25th, 2009 at 10:17 am

The red aliens could be the Japanese. Or… uh… you know what? I just don’t even know anymore. This is like a Harry Turtledove novel’s retarded stepchild.

Lister Sage said on March 25th, 2009 at 10:36 am

Illuyankas: That’s actually a bugle, which he is using as a sonic weapon in SPACE.

Zenrage said on March 25th, 2009 at 10:49 am

Nick Fury is so tough, he can order his subordinates to blow a bugle in space, which will be heard.

Nick Fury > Chuck Norris

RobotKeaton said on March 25th, 2009 at 10:53 am

How many covers feature the main character shooting someone through the heart?

M said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:06 am

Apparently, if we’re going by the little blurb at the bottom, the original Star Trek series never happened in this alternate universe.

Sofa King said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:25 am

Of course not. They were too busy watching the adventures of Sgt. Fury.

Al said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:35 am

Nick Fury Fact #265
When a radioactive spider bites Nick Fury, the spider gains the proportional strength of Sgt. Fury and all insect life ends. Forever.

lance lunchmeat said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:35 am

Sixty cents for a comic?! I wouldn’t be caught dead with such a rag. I bet that’s the only cover for that issue, too!

CandidGamera said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:36 am

In a tale so unbelieveable, we could only call it.. “Space Nazis Must Die!”

LurkerWithout said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:36 am

I would sell Flapjacks to Seagal to make this happen. Also it should have ROM and Rocket Raccoon. They can be the..um..French. And English. Yeah…

Joysweeper said on March 25th, 2009 at 11:49 am

Is that a space cigar? That is a space cigar. And a space bugle. And a space hat.

I like the alien turning to stare at us with one blue eye and pointing. He’s totally justifying why his people are being so badly whupped.

SilverMoonWolf said on March 25th, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Look at the tired, disdainful expressions on the reptilian aliens’ faces. Even they know this is a mistake.

Also, I wan a Sgt. Nick Fury brand space war gun that shoots impaling twizzlers.

chenry said on March 25th, 2009 at 12:03 pm

He has a fucking cigar. A Cigar in his helmet? Where does the ash go? Maybe Fury doesn’t smoke the cigar, he just eats the fucking thing!

GoatToucher said on March 25th, 2009 at 12:04 pm

Part of me wants Rex the Motherfucking Wonder-Dog involved with this somehow, but another part of me knows that the resulting awesome would make my head explode.

Kingfisher said on March 25th, 2009 at 12:12 pm

That is a sonic laser bugle. Activated by the force of his breath. From inside his helmet.

karellan said on March 25th, 2009 at 12:37 pm

I believe the helmets aren’t actually made of glass. They must be some kind of semi-permeable membrane that allows some materials to pass through (carbon dioxide, cigar smoke and ash, sonic bugle-weapon mouthpieces, etc.) while keeping breathable air in and pressurized against the vacuum of space.

Invader Zim had a similar helmet in the “Planet-Jackers” episode.

Chris S said on March 25th, 2009 at 1:32 pm

I may be over thinking this (ok, I’m definitely over thinking this), but how exactly is this still World War 2?

Bret said on March 25th, 2009 at 1:42 pm

I have that issue.
No space Hitler shown, but there is Space Baron Strucker and his space Nazis.

Also, obviously, we fought space WWI first, against the space kaiser and his space huns.

Dan said on March 25th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I humbly request the addition of Steve Buscemi riding a warhead bronco-style through the background in just one random frame (a la Armageddon).

Only then will you earn my sixty cents plus tax.

PS. To hell with Samuel Jackson. This is a job for Sam Elliott. Born to smoke cigars, shoot people, and look constipated.

Tim O'Neil said on March 25th, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Unfortunately, the cover is the coolest thing about this issue.

DistantFred said on March 25th, 2009 at 2:05 pm

I’ve read this comic. It was a disappointingly literal rewrite of the Pacific Campaign, with Aliens standing in for the Japanese. Probably an old Howling Commandos script they had leftover, and just decided to rewrite to remove all the references to “Nips”, “Japs”, “Slants” and “Moonmen”… well… okay that last one would still fit, I guess.

It all went downhill from the cover.

Evan Waters said on March 25th, 2009 at 2:07 pm

John: Ennis actually wrote a pretty decent DAN DARE update for the now-defunct Virgin Comics. No blatant attempts at shock or anything.

Lister Sage said on March 25th, 2009 at 2:08 pm

“Space Baron Strucker”: Hail GOOLUNGUX! Cut off are kalinga are two more shall take it’s place!

Craig Oxbrow said on March 25th, 2009 at 2:27 pm

Wait… Nick Fury didn’t fight a war in space? Missing a trick there, I feel.

VoodooBen said on March 25th, 2009 at 2:41 pm

I’ve actually read that issue. Most of it, anyway. It’s…it’s pretty awful.

Blake said on March 25th, 2009 at 3:02 pm

This was a pretty good issue, sure, but the sequel, Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.D. in Space!, would have been even better

Cookie McCool said on March 25th, 2009 at 3:07 pm

And I bet Mel Gibson’s dad STILL denies that any of this really happened!

lawnmower boy said on March 25th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Lame. And they made Baron Strucker the villain. See, he was an Earthian, so he ought to be on the Earthian side, but instead he was on the aliens’ side, so he was bad.
Because Baron Strucker is bad, you see.
Please, sir, hit me with the hammer of lazy writing some more.

Bret said on March 25th, 2009 at 3:14 pm

No, he was on the secret Space-Nazi side that planned on doublecrossing everybody and starting a space-third Reich.

Honestly, it’s like you paid no attention to the deeper underlying themes.

Hagan said on March 25th, 2009 at 4:15 pm

Man, even if bad I must get this issue. It will never beat my favorite What If… where Conan was a pimp. But the cover is worth the cost alone.

Sage Freehaven said on March 25th, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Why hasn’t this been greenlit for a feature film with Zac Snyder directing?

Cookie McCool said on March 25th, 2009 at 5:07 pm

Because there’s no characters they can use for a painfully awkward 15-minute porn interlude set to “The White Cliffs of Dover”, Sage.

Zifnab said on March 25th, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Why hasn’t this been greenlit for a feature film with ~~Zac Snyder~~ Uwe Bowl directing?

Fix’d?

Chris Sims said on March 25th, 2009 at 7:46 pm

Cough cough.

MGK said on March 25th, 2009 at 7:51 pm

Typical, Sims, with your “this is SO three years ago” -ness! TYPICAL.

Evan said on March 25th, 2009 at 8:09 pm

“I’m Nick Fury, and I can smoke cigars in space.”

Ed (Jack Norris) said on March 25th, 2009 at 9:13 pm

Joysweeper:
That alien in the foreground is actually winking at us. Why? Because his pal has tricked Fury into having sex with him (they “do it” by shooting each other in the chest).

Lindsey said on March 26th, 2009 at 3:01 pm

This is completely a right and comicful thing to do.

But there are other ideas that come from space…

Lister Sage said on March 26th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Lindsey: That’s nothing. Marvel used to make cologne and perfume. Plus, that shirt is pretty sweet.

And don’t you just know that Spider-Man/Green Goblin is some fangirls OTP.

Sofa King said on March 26th, 2009 at 5:33 pm

This also means in this reality somewhere there is Space Viking Commando.
