I no doubt will, too. I'm only missing a few issues in that run, but finding those issues is tough. Dealers don't stock a lot of reading copies of Fury when they go to cons. Plus, even at reading-copy rates, it only takes a few holes to make one of these volumes a good deal (and the fact that I haven't found a few issues by now means they probably won't be showing up any time soon).
It's great to see it--no doubt Marvel has been looking at all those SP: war books that DC has been producing and figuring maybe it should pick up some of that loose change (and library check-outs).
Even better, maybe it will lead to production on that NBE volume, which will lead to production on that PLOP! volume...
