 War Heroes #1 $2.99 Quantity
THE WRITER OF CIVIL WAR, THE ULTIMATES, KICK ASS AND WANTED! THE ARTIST OF STAR MAN, EX MACHINA AND SPIDER-MAN: GREAT POWER! TOGETHER AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME! If you've been wondering what comes next after MARK MILLAR's groundbreaking runs on ULTIMATES and ULTIMATES 2, then wonder no more – this is it! The mind that reinvented superheroes for the 21st Century joins forces with one of comicdom's best artists to chart a new courses for superhero action in a series that will definitely be one of the talked about of the year! Available July 23rd, 2008 REVIEW by Brian Fisher  I don't know exactly what Mark Millar meant when he said that War Heroes was, and I'm paraphrasing here so forgive me, "what Ultimates 3 could have been." And, dear lord I wish we had gotten this instead of the utter garbage that Ultimates 3 turned out to be. What War Heroes is is a satyrical look at the unending war on terror. The US government, sick and tired of losing battle after battle develops a drug that gives their soldiers super powers for a 24-hour span of time. I see how this could have seamlessly fit right in with Millar's previous Ultimates stories. It's got the same massive scale, tongue-in-cheekiness and characters that teeter on the edge of total unlikeability. Exactly what we expect from Millar at this point. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams THE WRITER OF CIVIL WAR, THE ULTIMATES, KICK ASS AND WANTED! THE ARTIST OF STAR MAN, EX MACHINA AND SPIDER-MAN: GREAT POWER! TOGETHER AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME!
