But does that mean Foggy was left out entirely?

The tux is weird. Neither Foggy nor the Fixer are particularily associated with tuxes.

I think he's Foggy. He's by far more important to DD's mythos than the Fixer.

If you ask me, when I saw the character's hairdo and Bowtie I thought "Foggy"... But then, I agree with you all that the badass expression of the character in the cover is somewhat not coherent with the Nelson we've known for years (though I must say that seeing "Foggy" and Kingpin at the same level made me think of the Ann Nocenti run)

I'd say, I'd expect good Ol' Franklin to appear with a sweeter expression on his face...unless, as a big surprise for all the DD readership, Nelson is finally revealed to be the new Marauder, the new Kingpin or the new, and fully revamped, Stiltman.

Adenda: The character seems to be wearing one of the 'orrible plaid suit he used to wear in the past (oh, puh-leez let's not come back to the Foggy in Plaid suit!!)

I think it's Foggy. Other than the "bad" expression nothing really suggests it's Fixer.

Yeah, it's Foggy.

My question is where's Ben Urich?? Kind of had a pretty significant part in DD's mythos. Oh well, at least the Black Tarantula, Lady Bullseye and Echo are there.

I don't think it's Foggy.

But who it is exactly...I don't know.

Could it be their land lord from the earlier parts of DD?

Edit...

Upon further investigation, and making it my desktop background. It should be Foggy, even though the facial expression isn't quite him. They wouldn't leave him out.

Foggy would make the most sense...he just didn't look quite right. I'm also not sure we can call that the 'villain' side of the piece as Battlin' Jack, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage are all over there (no biggie, just sayin').

Just to throw something else out there...if you look at the high res copy that was posted in the original cup o' joe on myspace the blood splatter on the playing cards trickles down and forms words - I can't make them out...thoughts???

"Fin de siÃ¨cle" also has connotations of the 'end of an era', doesn't it? I guess it's a reference to it being Brubaker's last issue.

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.
