Just wrapped up the 3 Rhodey-centric issues of Iron Man: Director of SHIELD. Not diggin this cyborg business one bit. He apparently needs his face mask and chest plate or else he'll die. Seriously? The explanation for this better be fantastic. Here's hoping he can make a deal w/ Blackheart and get his organic parts back :(

But then Blackheart would make everyone on War Machine's team forget his secret identity, yet still act like they still have emotional connections. He'll be living with his parents again with the same job that he had when he was in high school. Oh, and Obidiah Stane would be back, too, just 'cuz.

Or is that Mephisto? :p
 
The new ongoing sounds interesting.

Huh?? Face Plate!??!! Boo for that! i havent read WM in along time but's that's nonsense. How's a brother suppose to get some action with his face plate on.i can see it now.

Elektra- oh baby that big gun of yours is turning me on. i just want to lick you face cause of it
WM- cant. if i take it off i will die!
Elektra- the hell with that! I am out here. you could be the abomination for all i know under there!
Tony never had to keep his face plate on. Boooooo!
 
He's like 80% robot. It's dumb dumb dumb. I just hope they don't drag out the explanation once his ongoing starts.

Did DC sell the rights to Cyborg over to Marvel or something?

nope. Cyborg just had a mini series over at DC that i read( it sucked) so's there's noway that could happen. my guess is they are trying to differentiate him from Tony,but that's dumb as hell.Plus Marvel already has a Cyborg in Deathlok, and he's black too. what are they trying to do turn every black dude in Marvel into a Cyborg?? see this is the stupid crap that's has me stop reading Marvel as much as i use too. They don't need to turn Rodney into a Cyborg to make him different from tony. He's his own man already.That sucks
 
yup and Deathlok has been around for alot longer than Cyborg as well.
I'm not sure I like War machine beinging somewhat the same as Deathlok tho.
If you stop and think about it Deathlok's birth date is approaching soon isn't it?
 
War Machine is going to kick so much ass. The art not only looks great but Greg ****ing Pak is writing and that means it will be awesome. Mark my words.

Mark them! (shakes fist)
 
Whatever happen to Rhodey couldn't have been that long ago, sometime inbetween Sentinel Squad and Avengers: The Initiative. It makes sense since he didn't make an appearance in CW.

Okay! I am going to mark you down then Mr. Green only cause it WM and i love me some WM. i going to buy this book, but if it sucks ( imitates Charleton Heston in planet of the apes) Damn you Marvel! Damn you all to Hell!

I get that they're trying to make him a literal "War Machine" but jeez

An explosion would be most likely. It's the easiest way to lose your whole lower body, right arm, and half your face I can think of.

Unless Baron Von Blitzschlag did some crazy experiments to him

HE was in the Black Panther CW Tie in.

LOL!

I get what you mean about Rhodey not needing to be a cyborg to be different than tony though. But hey, we find out why he's a cyborg in issue #1 of WM so we'll have to just wait and see...

The covers look badass though.
 
I want an uncyborg Rhodey. This is the worst thing to happen to him since he had that alien suit
 
So War Machine is Darth Vader essentially.
 
Yeah, basically. It's pretty lame. He's all angsty about being a cyborg too, which is understandable since he's clearly missing his junk along with the rest of his lower body, but it's still unnecessary angst on a character who should be all about kicking ass, not whining about his lost wang.

Everything you said deserves :applaud:applaud:applaud:applaud:applaud

His probabley got a robot wang now anyway!
 
Next Cyborg-Rhodey is gonna be saying "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!" and "Where is Cain?" probabley while beating up drug dealers
 
Man! the more you guys talk about him as cyborg. the more I'm thinking this book will get canceled after a couple issues so why even bother in the 1st place. i hated that Alien armor dude had and this sounds even lamer.
Especially that angst part.Damn hasn't that been done to death, and i wasnt kidding about Marvel and black dudes becoming cyborgs. Doesnt Bishop have a robotic arm now or some crap like that? what is going on!
 
The arc in Iron Man: Director of SHIELD was great, though. It just had that one crappy element of Rhodey being about 3/4ths robot. I don't think the cyborg aspect should prevent anyone from reading War Machine. Just know it's there and try to ignore it.

plus he wouldn't be married to Tony anymore.
