U.S. WAR MACHINE vol. 2 #4 |

(December 2001) "Book 1:
Chapter 4." Story: Chuck
Austen. Art: Chuck Austen, Wild and Wooly Press and
NIC Entertainment. Layout: Victor Lopez.
The US War Machine Team
is finally assembled! Austen lays it on a bit thick with the "boot camp"
atmosphere, but he gives us a truly multicultural cast of characters --
which serves the "race" theme of the story well. We get a Japanese dude,
a Latino, and the requisite "white bread" Aryan type (without the supremacist
attitude, of course). Next, we meet "Scotch,"
the twelve year old over-hormoned genius behind the reversed-engineered
WM
armors. Lastly, we encounter Darkhawk
-- part man, mostly machine! What will be his role in this whole
shebang?
Hube's
Recommendation: USWM
patches!
TJ's Response:
The boot camp feeling may be overdone, but it does a great job of proving
that Rhodes has military experience, and has leadership abilities (rather
than simply being a bodyguard). And, oh, Darkhawk.
Wonderful, wonderful inclusion in this 'What if?' kind of story (that will
hopefully become more of an ongoing project)!
TJ's Recommendation:
3 USWM patches!
