(December 2001) "Book 1:
Chapter 5."Story: Chuck
Austen. Art: Chuck Austen, Wild and Wooly Press and
NIC Entertainment. Layout: Victor Lopez.
The
mystery of Darkhawk
continues! Rhodes inquires if he can use the former vigilante in his WM
team -- and Fury
indicates "it's possible." Dum
Dum Dugan then tells Jim there's another team
member -- one Sheva Josephs
(see vol. 1 War Machine
for what the "real" Marvel Universe Sheva was like). ATTENTION KIDDIES!
Our first glimpse of Ms. Joseph is totally in the nude! Later, the WM
team is suited up and ready for testing (and Rhodey can't get the naked
image of Sheva out of his head!). Very cool tit-for-tat between
Jim and Parnell
about what it means "to be black."

USWM patches!
TJ's Response:
Austen impresses with his devotion to character development. Rather than
simply write a 'James Rhodes swears and shoots people' 12-issue bore-fest,
he develops the people that are central to the story. The series
overall to this point has been both a good read and eye-candy.
TJ's Recommendation:
4 USWM patches!
