In

his team of men – battle-hardened, but still human – survive a
villainess who can walk on the very wind?
Plus, Navy Seals Ice and
Tracker go where no boots are on the ground, but when their mission is

Sometimes even the best intel isn’t good enough. Rock and his men find
themselves surrounded by dozens of guerrilla fighters when their last
clip runs out – but bullets might not be their only weapon. Also: Ice
and Tracker come face-to-face with a family of human shields. Can they
clear the area in time for an incoming evac without harming innocents?

MEN OF WAR #5

Written by IVAN BRANDON and MATT KINDT

Cover by VIKTOR KALVACHEV

Even
beaten and captured, Joe Rock’s resolve is enough to attract the
attention of an ageless military general. But will it be enough to help
him escape a battalion of battle-hardened ghouls and save his men? Plus:
She fights with skilled perfection, he with ferocious energy. Which
will be the last blade standing – or are both of these knife-wielding
spies doomed?

j'ai aucun retour de cette série.

je serai curieux d'avoir un avis.

Les avis ont pas l'air folichon, même pour le scénariste :

Citation :

La valse des artistes continue chez DC. C'est maintenant le scénariste de Men of War qu'on annonce sur le départ à la fin de son premier arc soit à partir du #7.

La série est un peu décriée aux quatre coins du globe car son approche militaire du monde des super-héros ne semble pas avoir convaincue. Elle met en scène le sergent Rock et sa compagnie dans le monde moderne des super-héros DC.

On ne sait pas encore s'il quitte DC ou s'il a d'autres projets avec l'éditeur mais bleeding cool suppose que c'est le scénariste du back-up du titre qui pourrait reprendre la série en main.

Je crois qu'on a notre meilleur candidat à la première annulation (sans trop de surprises d'ailleurs).

en meme temps , un titre sur la guerre a-t-il besoin d'un scénariste ? ( )

couverture du 7

DC semble avoir du mal a trouver un successeur au poste de scénariste régulier :

Citation :

On vous annonçait il y a plus d'un mois qu'Ivan Brandon allait quitter la série Men of War au numéro #6 de février prochain.

DC vient d'annoncer que le #7 serait constitué de deux histoires indépendantes écrites par deux auteurs actuellement sur d'autres titres: James Robinson (Starman; The Shade) et J.T Krul (Green Arrow; Captain Atom).

Les deux scénaristes ne seront là que pour un numéro en attendant qu'un artiste régulier ne vienne récupérer le flambeau, sans doute pour le #8.

MEN OF WAR #7

Written by JAMES ROBINSON and J.T. KRUL
Art by SCOTT KOLINS and PHIL WINSLADE
Cover by VIKTOR KALVACHEV

It’s not the War on Drugs, but these SAS soldiers find themselves battling for control of a poppy field. Can they knock out this Taliban cell’s money source in order to win the bigger battle? Plus: It might have been battle skill or luck that helped Blake survive the crash of his patrol helicopter in Iraq – but which will get him through returning to civilian life?

En mai, DC lance l'opération Second Wave qui voit six séries lancées lors du New 52 être remplacées par six nouvelles. Men of War n'ayant pas convaincu, la série sera parmi les victimes.

Frankenstein guest-stars! Frank walks through a rain of bombs over 1941
London before being dragged to the depths of the Pacific Ocean and onto
the shores of Japan! Will he make it there in one piece so he can team
up with G.I. Robot to defeat an Axis weapon that threatens to turn the
tide of the war? Frankenstein’s success will hinge on the help of a
