Nick Fury Jr. is a Bastard - Secret Avengers # 1

If there's one thing that I thoroughly hated about Secret Avengers # 1 by Nick Spencer and Luke Ross, it's got to be Nick Fury Jr aka Marcus Johnson



Actually everything in this book is nice for me. There's a nice bit of mystery, some unwitting agents who eventually will outgrow their unwillingness. There's also a shadowy government agency that's pulling everybody's strings. There's also some interesting technology here in Secret Avengers # 1 but what really rubs me the wrong way here is Marcus Johnson.


In the story Hawkeye and Fury (as he now takes to calling himself) goes on a mission to take down teleporting terrorists. Hawkeye gets shot after letting his guard down and the mission proceeds with Fury finishing it. 

We later see Hawkeye recovering with Maria Hill and Fury Jr visiting. A bit of Rashomon happens in the end and it's revealed that Hawkeye wasn't just shot by anybody in the field. 




What's even worse is that he's not even showing any signs of remorse. Just like his papi I'm told. Oh and also Marvel is definitely making sure that Agent Coulson gets to look like onscreen counterpart Clark Gregg.



 Also since we're on the subject of lookalikes, is it just me or does Hawkeye look like U2 frontman Bono in the regular cover for the book.
