Let's Look In On Miss Fury

This blog initially split its attention between the Black Bat and Miss Fury around the time that Dynamite Entertainment was preparing to release series about each character. When news and material involving Miss Fury dried up, the blog was made Black Bat-specific.

Perhaps it was inevitable that the situation would one day reverse itself. While there are a few projects involving the Black Bat on the horizon, we're pretty much in a holding pattern for the time being. Miss Fury is recapturing some of her spotlight, however.

Dynamite Entertainment announced in July that they will be publishing a third volume featuring the character. The first issue should be available on October 3rd.

The debut issue marking the return of one of the most influential characters in Comics History comes this October with "Miss Fury - Joy Division."  

Multi-Eisner nominee Billy Tucci (Shi, Sgt. Rock) and rising star Emma Kubert recapture the legend of the original "Cat Woman" Marla Drake and her army of "Black Furies" that take readers from the warring skies above NYC and into the heart of Hitler's Third Reich in spirit of an all-female "Inglourious Basterds."

The above cover is by Ken Lashley is one of several variants, in standard Dynamite fashion.

I may be more interested in a smaller publisher's offering, mind you. Miss Fury will appear in a book called Sleuth Comics by Atomic Pulp. The series will focus (at least initially) on another public domain character named The Black Owl.

Ooh, so close...Miss Fury will show up at least in the second issue. She shared the "regular" cover with the lead character but a variant was revealed on which she is the main focus.

Ain't that pretty?

I actually hadn't realized that Atomic Pulp had already published a couple of books. I thought they were strictly webcomics at this point with plans to kickstart their way into publishing in the future.

As a (small, granted) gesture of support today, I purchased digital copies of two of their titles; Perils On Planet X and Femme Noir.

Looks like something I can get into...As for Sleuth Comics, I believe the plan is for that title to appear some time next year so hopefully Dynamite satisfies our Miss Fury appetite in the meantime. Here's a  glimpse at what else Atomic pulp has in store for us for 2019.
