The main issue with Fury Jr. is that once he was introduced, he was just there. He was a protagonist of Secret Avengers, but was mostly a background character while Hawkeye, Black Widow, Mockingbird and others got all the limelight (not to mention he was comatose for a good deal of Vol. 3). For the most part, he was there just to make some snarky comment and kick butt.

Because of this, he was a character with a history but no development. I mean, we didn't get a proper look into his character until Shalvey's serial, four years after he was introduced.

So now that he finally gets a book, everyone is like "but he has no substance." And the thing is that a book like this one is what should've given him substance four years ago.
