I've never been that interested in War Machine before, but I may give this a look given Nick Spencer is writing.

Also, I notice its a $2.99 book (after issue #1), which helps.

the whole vibe i'm getting from this is that the person beneath the armor isn't important.

how so, i am getting the vibe that the old armor is outdated but since it mentions RHodey by name, i am not understanding how u are getting that vibe.

all i'm seeing are pictures of the armor. have you seen any pictures of Rhodey?

We have only seen covers so far and a couple of concept sketchs for the new armor design. Given the major selling point is the new armor designed to meet modern threats like terrorism etc, it makes perfect sense you would only see the armor. Think you're seeing things that arn't there.

actually i'm not seeing things that aren't there. that was kind of my point. what separates Iron man and War Machine is Rhodey.

these are all covers, how often do u see stark or parker on a cover out of costume.

I'm really looking forward to this. The plans they have and the new armor make it sound like Rhodey is going to be in good hands.

Hopefully this series is better than the recent one.

Not saying it was bad, just wasent as good as it could be

I think that was best highlighted in the 80's when he actually wore the Iron Man suit instead of the separate War Machine armor. Not that I have a huge problem with how he's portrayed lately but they should make him stand out from Stark more, especially on Fraction's end.

Agreed and co-igne with d bold!!!!

Taking rhodey as the man depicted in both the old IM run and the most recent war Machine series...I think Rhodey is more of an action hero than Tony- and more prone to doing what's right and damn the consequences!

Even if what is right is killing bad guys that the law cant touch.

I want more of that guy- not Fracton's depiction as mostly window dressing.

[Green Griffin]

I kinda like the new armor, but it just needs to be more bulky.

I always consider The War Machine armor to be more of the SUV while The Iron Man armor was the sportscar.

[Hypestyle]

how can you have the war machine armor without the shoulder cannon? eh.. I also feel that the tech-assimilation powers should still be in effect somehow. Rhodes/War Machine needs a different power set to differentiate him from being just "the black Iron Man". Also the Stane-tech angle was good, because I don't want Rhodey wearing anything that Tony can shut down with a code-word.. also Rhodes has to be given a distinct personality, having his own agendas and not being constantly deferent to Tony's views and choices.. If Rhodes wants to go after Bin Laden, he should go-- not be asking permission from his pal..
