Episode 63: Original Sin (What Happened to Nick Fury Sr?)

Following up on Episode 51, where we found out how Nick Fury started looking like Samuel L. Jackson in the comics, we discuss the miniseries Original Sin, and how that led to a whole new status quo for the original Nick Fury.  Warning: If you don’t like eyeballs by themselves, do not scroll down.

I shot the Watcher…But I did not shoot the Deputy.

That is not a mask. His head is actually one giant eye. How he sleeps without an eyelid is anybody’s guess.

Nick and the Decoys. Live on the Moon.

We learn later he only said three words, even though it looks like a lot more in that caption.

Episode 52: Fifty-Two (The DC Mini-Series)

No, I’m not just repeating the episode number again, but spelling it out. 52 (or Fifty-Two) was an important work in the DC Universe, so much so that the number keeps popping up in DC Lore ever since.  This year-long weekly series was the first in a few that DC did, but is the only one that really left a lasting impact.  Because this is Episode 52, I decided to go into more detail on this story, introducing the basic set-ups and talking about what made the story one of my personal favorites.

The build-up (and a very soft reboot).

Steel, Ralph, The Question, Booster Gold, and Renee are all there in the background.

Everything there means something, but telling you what would be spoiler territory.
