You decide.

Wait, what? This whole time, I thought it was Nick Fury from the Ultimate (1610) universe taking over after Secret Wars? I thought that the 1610 universe was dust, then Reed Richards fixed everything and rendered the event totally pointless? Except the art, that was nice.
So they brought these leftover characters from the 1610 Bendis universe into the one we know, but they didn't revive/inherit its Nick Fury. What was the point, then? Making Nick Fury an illegitimate son whose name isn't actually Nick Fury seems kinda ludicrous when you have an actual Fury on standby.
That's deeply uninspired and pointlessly convoluted. And so many of my favorite writers are off doing other things now, it's bizarre stuff like this that is shrinking my weekly pull list. It bums me out.
