(January 2002) "Book 1:
Chapter 12." Story: Chuck
Austen. Art: Chuck Austen, Wild and Wooly Press and
NIC Entertainment. Layout: Victor Lopez. Associate
Producer: Jeremy Lambros.
Doom
holds Rhodes at his mercy!! (Jim apparently is responsible for Doom's
"scarring" in this continuity.) Darkhawk
attempts to rescue Rhodey -- but Doom
explodes 'hawk's
head! Whoa! Next, MODOK
attempts to fry Doom's mind, but he too, explodes! But Rhodey had some
time bought, and now begins his own armored assault against Doom!Dugan
and Sheva pop
in and inform Doom
that Rhodes was the one who just saved his entire race! Thus, Doom
agrees to end hostilities, but demands the head AIM
be left to him (and just guess what the Doc
does to him!). Endings include: Darkhawk
somehow "reanimating" himself, Rhodey checking after the daughter of the
woman victim of AIM
in issue #1, and lastly -- Tony Stark
ending the series by informing us "he's going to take his armor back"
from SHIELD!!
Hube's Recomm.:  USWM
patches!
TJ's Response:
The culmination of a great series. The main plot-lines are resolved,
and plenty of questions abound! What's the story on this brand of
Darkhawk?
Did
Stark don
the armor before? Will he in the next series? What kind of
SHIELD armor
upgrades can we expect? How will the SHIELD
suits fare against Iron Men?
Chuck Austen and Co. have created a great series. Nevermind that
it was a weekly format at $1.50 (when most comics are ~$2.25)! The
art was great - and very appropriately in 'Black and White'.
TJ's Recommendation:
4 and 1/2 USWM patches!
TJ's Series
Recommendation: A must-have for any James Rhodes/War Machine
fan!
