Review of
U. S. War Machine No. 1,
comic
Four out of five stars
Stark makes a bold move, problem ensues
This comic
opens with Tony Stark, the possessor of the most advanced weapons technology,
making an announcement that he will be keeping the most powerful technology of his
weapons in house and will no longer be selling it to governments. The reaction
of the press is what you would expect of people that cover business, at first,
they laugh and then ask questions about the reaction of stockholders and
whether there will be layoffs at the Stark companies. This includes the technology
known as War Machine.
However, things
don’t go according to plan, when a sophisticated terrorist group captures some
weapons, War Machine thwarts them in a very bloody battle. It is as if the terrorists
want the War Machine to react violently.
This is not a
traditional comic where the violence is muted. There is an “Explicit Content”
warning on the front cover, and it is justified. Violent and gory deaths are depicted
with no attempt to tone down the bloodshed. This story sets the stage for what
could be many different story threads regarding what Stark will do in the
future.
