    The title is awful. Why can't they just call it War Machine?

    And Spencer really likes "World's Most Wanted"? But...why?

    Promising but also worrying; it sounds like it won't just be "War Machine shoots and blows stuff up" however Spencer's reverence for Fraction's work on Iron Man is bothersome since I'm not the greatest fan of that. Regardless, I love Rhodey so I'll more than likely be checking this out.

    Agree on the title name, just go with War Machine!
    Current Pulls:
    Iron Man, Aquaman, Avengers, Batman, Captain America, Captain Marvel, East of West, Journey into Mystery, New Avengers, Talon

    Presumably because War Machine comics don't sell, and Iron Man comics do. Especially given that in the movie, despite a crack about him being a "war machine," it wasn't as a proper noun that the average, non-comics-reading audience member would imprint on, I think.

    With Spencer writing it I will check it out, and I am enjoying Fraction's Iron Man so taking anything from that works just fine for me.

    And apparently people wont notice the black dude in the metal and black armor running around when they open the book?

    I just hope it doesn't suck, and also gets a title change.
