Uber (single issues) #0

by Kieron Gillen, Caanan White (Illustrator)

Kieron Gillen unveils his epic new monthly series, launching with a special double-sized issue! 1945. Germany is in ruins. The war in the west can only be days away from ending. Threats of "wunderwaffen" to be unleashed by the dying Reich have become laughable. There are no miracle weapons here. It's over. It has to be over. It's not. There's been stories which have mixed enhanced humans and World War 2 before. There's never been one like this. See super beings in a whole new light as Gillen presents an epic new series that not only rewrites history, it redefines the genre. Superstar writer KIERON GILLEN (Invincible Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men) delivers a brutal alternate timeline tale of super humans first appearing during WW2. The Nazis have the Uber. The Allies don't.

Reviews

[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first issue of this series. By mutating the genes of individuals Nazi scientists have been able to give soldiers augmented powers; super strength, invulnerability and the ability to discharge plasma like energy (think of the powers of Captain America, Cyclops and Namor combined). As the Russian forces close in on Berlin they are met by a new and horrific enemy - and they will soon learn that they have no way to defend against this fanatic foe. Very grim - very graphic - very disturbing.

Enjoyed it

Only reason it gets 4 by 5 is I found it a little hard to follow. Artwork was easy a 5.

I shall buy the omnibus volumes after reading this, I am looking forward to the series.
