This book looks pretty neat, and it's Kot so I'm definitely in.

Also I'm guessing Terrence Howard is a reference to the actor.

Looks cool! Still not sure whether it belongs on my pull list or not but I might check out the first issues and see how that goes.

Can anyone tell me who the villain is in this?

That other guy's face mask kind looks like XO manowar's. I wonder if they're gonna bring up Rhodey and Carol in this series.

I'm glad to see that Rhodey is getting a new series, but I don't care for the name change to "Iron Patriot." The whole Iron Patriot thing was basically a big punch-line in IM3 and he's much more well known as "War Machine." The whole name change just feels unnecessary.

I'm just happy to see Rhodey in a new series of his own, I can't wait to read it, I hope this book has a long run too. The previews so far look promising

Yeah, it's odd that Ales Kot would write that into the last volume's finale, and not have him on the next iteration of the team. Hopefully it gets explained.

While I like Rhodey, I don't think the Iron Man world and mythos is expansive enough to carry two titles. It's not like they have a section of the universe to themselves like Green Lantern or have the juggernaut power of Batman behind them.

Still, this looks good.

Since when is this a mini? I'm pretty sure this is an ongoing?

It's still unfortunate that they didn't just put Kot on Iron Man. That book is terrible.

It's described as a miniseries here. And then Kot had this to say on Twitter.

Oh wow! That is interesting, I did not know that. It seems like Marvel is secretly playing it safe with a 5 issue plot and if it sells well they'll extend it into a real ongoing since they have not indicated it was a mini other than this tweet.

Rhodie fights a C-List villain... basically loses... then Tony Stark and crew comes and saves the day... followed by the next issue having a sweet cover featuring a fight that never happens.

Strongly disagreed, yo. Iron Man has been a way better, more exciting book than it's been in a long, long time. I might be biased, but I love the risks Gillen has been taking.

The art is stunning. Not an Iron Patriot fan, but I love Rhodey, so I'll definitely be giving this a shot. Don't know if I like the Skottie Young Cover this time though. I've bought those baby variants for each new #1 since Marvel now, but I might just go with the regular cover.

Really enjoyed Secret Avengers so will give this a try, though I'm not a big Iron Patriot fan. But that's possibly cause I've not read much of him. Always just thought he was Iron Man's mate and I dint really like Iron Man.

Because in the recent Iron Man movie, he was Iron Patriot and not War Machine....and according to Marvel everything has to be like it is in their movies...

Who gives a fuck about Rhodes anyway? War Machine was lame even in the 90's when cool and badass versions of regular superheroes were sort of hip. So who cares if he's War Machine, Iron Patriot or Patriotic Machine? He sucks anyway.

I'm gonna bet this series will last 12/(technically 13) issues. I think nearly every War Machine solo title has only last that long in the past.

War Machine reminds me of Havok... fan favourite character who painfully bland and inferior to original
