mxd's review against another edition

Marla Drake/Miss Fury is kind of like if you took Tony Stark's drinking issues, and Batman's brooding, and poured them into Catwoman's aesthetic and gave them a good shake, before throwing them seventy years into a future run by time-travelling Nazis. So, an interesting character right off the bat.
I liked Marla. She's sweary, she's gutsy, she's funny, she's angry, and a good contender for characters that should have been played by Lucy Lawless. However, the story is bit of a confusing mess and many times I found myself wishing that someone could have paid as much attention to the plot as the artist did to rendering Drake's boobs and rear end (seriously, I was so happy with the panel that had her in an orange jumpsuit).
I'd probably read the next volume if it came my way, but I doubt I'll go looking for it. Too bad, as I really wanted to like Miss Fury.

I didn't know much about Miss Fury when I picked up this graphic novel that came as part of a Comic Bento month celebrating female characters, but I know know it is a revamping of a Golden Age character known then as Black Fury. Similar character to Batman's Catwoman in the fact that they are thieves, and antiheroes more than heroes. The concept was interesting as the character falls through time and bounces back and further between her time in the forties and modern times where time traveling Nazi's are planning on winning WWII in 2013, the time travel stuff is messy, and celebrates the fact that it is messy which I enjoyed but I can imagine is off putting to some. Ultimately though this story was a little anticlimactic and as much as I wanted to like Miss Fury as a character, they left her fairly flat as a character. Probably more of a two and a half star, being that I see two as okay, and three as good, but it was closer to okay than it was good.
