Fury Max #10

Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov's unflinching MAX series reaches its penultimate chapter with a cover by Dave Johnson that says everything without saying a word — a battered, combat-worn figure grins beneath a looming skull bearing a telltale eye patch, a bloody machete resting across one shoulder and a pistol at his hip. The stark red, white, and olive palette gives the image a raw, poster-like weight that perfectly suits this mature, uncompromising look at Nick Fury's long career in shadow warfare. If you've been following "My War Gone By," issue #10 is essential.
