Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows Tell Vietnam Era Punisher/Nick Fury Story in ‘Get Fury’

Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows re-team for another MAX mini-series featuring Frank Castle and Nick Fury in a war-torn land.

The five-issue Get Fury series begins with a simple and highly explosive premise, with a pre-Punisher Castle being tasked with assassinating Fury. 

Ennis is happy to back writing the two characters in the same title again, and said “There’s a nice sense of things coming full circle with Get Fury; the editor is my good friend Nick Lowe, who handled Born back at the beginning some 20+ years ago, and just like that story, this one sees Frank Castle as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam (in fact, it goes some way to explaining how he ended up at Firebase Valley Forge in the first place).”

Burrows added “I never have more fun on a project than I do with Garth, and his work with these two characters is world class. Getting to bring this chapter of their saga to life was extremely exciting to me as a huge fan of those previous books. And I think I am in the minority of artists that really enjoy the research aspect of doing a period book, so getting to draw a comic set at the tail end of the Vietnam War was a fun challenge.”

Dave Johnson will provide all of the main covers for the series, which will debut on May 1.
