Because Tumblr wasn't addicting enough, have a look at the inner workings of S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ: Memos from Fury.

The Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. movie makes for an unsurprising appearance on NerdBastard.com's The 10 Best of the Worst Comic to Screen Adaptations. It's with a similar lack of shock that I report Nick Fury earned a place on this ( Read more... )

On a related note, have you ever wished that Samuel L. Jackson would swear at you from the comfort of your own home? Because he's now posting on Twitter under @SamuelLJackson. It's probably a little late to hope for ( Read more... )

Stumbled across this post that mentions Nick Fury's avoidance of shirts.

:D

Sure, it's shoddy quality (a scan from a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly), but this has to be shared: Photo of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury actually doing something. The gods be praised!

Josh Witsaman linked to a scan of an old ad for the 90's run of Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The "While You Were Out" note from George Bush Sr. is kind of hilarious.

Wolverine: Debt of Death was released last week and, remembering the preview pages I posted here a few weeks back, I picked up a copy. Fury is understandably a supporting character (this is a Logan book, after all) but it’s a fantastic comic and one that I enthusiastically recommend. I could trot out a full review, but instead I’m going to leave ( Read more... )
