Thank you and @TheArrowfor the update in Fury's status.

Though this does raise more questions. Does the Watcher get around his no interference rule by using Fury to do his dirty work?

Marvel writers these days....

Probably though nothing has happened yet,

Nick Fury Jr... smh...

The way he was introduced to the comics was insultingly obvious and had a surprise factor of - 20 on the scale of whack-a-doo ideas. I say this being a fan of 60's and 70's Marvel as well.

Marvel could have done something with the idea and could have at least made him interesting but instead chose to sit on the concept. As far as the whole forced MCU synergy thing goes this was a stretch.

For those of us that checked out on comics, is the OG Fury still a presence? Last I recall he was a major player in Secret Invasion. I recall him speaking to Quake and he used a image thingy to make himself look like Sam Jackson. Was actually kinda cute. ( he may have been talking to Maria Hill, Bending had a thing for ladies with shirt hair cuts)

In Original Sin, it became a story-point that Nick Fury has been Earth's "Man on the Wall"--it's true lone defender for decades now. He was using all available earthly and alien tech and means to "pre-empt' ANY threat to the planet. So he'd hunt down and wax aliens and monsters from those earlier monster mag stories. This mostly in the years between WW2 and nowadays.Aaaaand in doing so......Nick Fury essentially became the new "Watcher". Yeah, it gives me a bit of a headache too.....

I don't know how you can truly celebrate60 Years Of Comic Book's Greatest Super Spy with a story focused on Nick Fury Jr?!?

Not for anything, but they need to bring back OG Nick Fury. Junior hasn't been interesting at all since his inception which is a shame since Ultimate Nick Fury (AKA Samuel Jackson) was great in the Ultimates run by Mark Millar...

Well these anniversary series have so far focused on original and hier successors so this will be no difference, even the tagline says more than one Nick Fury. Still I agree Nick Jr. is a poor character
