Spinning out of Dark Reign, the hero known as War Machine has a new mission to save the world and critics can’t stop raving about his new series! War Machine #1, from acclaimed scribe Greg Pak (World War Hulk, X-Men: Magneto- Testament) and rising star artist Leonardo Manco team up for the new series that puts the iron clad hero on a quest to take down some of the world’s greatest threats! This one man army takes no prisoners, leaving fans and critics alike with their jaws on the floor!
“A new, cybernetically enhanced War Machine becomes like an international Punisher. He's a one-man war on worldwide crime...Manco's work is a good fit for this series, with its scratchy detail illustrating a world that is anything but bright and shiny. This is a sordid, tarnished Marvel Universe, and Manco 's style suits it perfectly.”—Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.Com
“Leonardo Manco does a great job capturing a gritty technological feel, and Greg Pak does a great job keeping the pace up. I think this series will be one to watch.”-- Brendan McQuirk, Newsarama.Com
“Leonardo Manco's beautiful art matches the subject material perfectly, giving Rhodes a rough, gritty world to rocket through and providing some gorgeous splash pages...(for the) shoot-'em-up comic with a sci-fi/tech twist.”—Bryan Joel, IGN.Com
“The lines between man and machine, hero and monster, justice and murder can be entertaining and interesting to explore under a talented pen and Pak certainly has that talent…[Manco] provides a gritty realism to the horrors of battle as well as to the horrors of Rhodey’s situation.”—Tonya Crawford, BrokenFrontier.Com
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on War Machine, as the series continues to draw acclaim from all corners.
