Battle Scars 6: The Final Issue. A Disappointment for the Books

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT
So yesterday i finished the last issue of Marvel's limited series "Battle Scars" and I must say....wow Marvel.... you have finally done it... you've actually managed to ruin Nick Fury's persona.... I mean first yes with the whole Ultimates idea and making Nick in that sub-universe look like fraking Samuel L. Jackson was a stretch. But really? Marcus Johnson the new Nick Fury? Some guy we've only known for six issues in a limited series is to replace THE Nick Fury? The leader of the secret warriors? The protagonist in the Secret War? The heroic vigilante we all love? And not to mention, but it's interesting that this new Nick (Marcus) resembles the one from the new upcoming Avengers movie....which is: Yup. You guessed it. Samuel L. Jackson. Huh... resemblance on purpose I'm guessing? Maybe not. But i'm on to this one. All I have to say on this subject is that Marvel should have kept their stupid mistakes (Jackson look-a-likes) in their Ultimate universe and NOT move them to their highly praised original Earth-616 universe... Apart from that large issue I have with this story, the battle at the end with Orion wasn't exactly.. thrilling.. It was like any other normal brawl in a regular comic book and I wish it was more climatic considering the hype this new Nick Fury has behind him in the future months of the Marvel Universe...
What do you guys think?
