A Solider, A Man, and a Monster: Damage Appreciation Thread

The poreview for next week's issue is out : https://www.newsarama.com/39500-pois...review.html#s6

We finally get some of his origin story.

Also I’m glad they went with this look for Ivy. I really dislike her black and green New 52 look that has stuck around.

Is it me or Ethan was actually the 237th attempt at creating Damage ? If so, I wonder how many of the failed experiment actually survived and what they became... Also, this gritty still is quite fitting for Damage. Les majestic perhaps that the previous one, but great, too bad it'll last only one issue...

I noticed that too. I wonder what became of the other 236 people they experimented on. I suppose some of them must have died but some had to have survived so what happened to them? More importantly will they be coming back at some point?

July 2018 DAMAGE Solicitation


DAMAGE #7

written by ROBERT VENDITTI
art by DIOGENES NEVES and TREVOR SCOTT
cover by TONY S. DANIEL and DANNY MIKI

Ethan Avery is Damage, the monstrous brute with unlimited strength for an hour. That's the (semi) good news. The bad…? Ethan's on the run from the army that transformed him. Mr. Leash's metahuman tactical squad is hot on Avery's trail-what could go wrong when a bunch of bloodthirsty super-soldiers take on a rampaging monstrosity called Damage? PLUS: What is Colonel Jonas' gut-wrenching reason for running the top-secret superhuman chop shop? Secrets are revealed in part one of the new story "Scuttled."

there is a huge difference between Tony Daniel and Cary Nord art. Will have to see how actual Damage looks drawn by Nord

So... what's everyone's thoughts regarding DAMAGE #4?

Personally, I didn't like the art. It just didn't fit the bombastic style of the character and story at all. I do hope we'll get some artists who are more fit for the series.

[chachi]

not a fan of the art at all. Looked at sample art for the artists for issues 5 and 6/7. Looks better than this issues. Think they will be more fitting?

[Korath]

Well, it was mostly a set up issue, but I like what it did with the main characters (Ethan and the Colonel).

DAMAGE #5 Preview

First three issues were AWESOME. Fourth had dull art and a dull story. i hope this series doesn't hit a slump this early in its publication. Should be a really fun, action packed series.

[Korath]

Issue 5 made it official : Damage is based on Hourman. Apparently, the Damage Project was a continuation of the Hourman Project.

[Thor-Ul]

So there is another concept returnig. This will be interesting.

Issue 5 much better than 4 in both art and story. Very intrigued by the "Unknown Soldier" reference. Maybe a previous failed Damage experiment out there somewhere? Side note: Talked to my LCS owner today about the NAOH titles. He said Damage is the #2 seller, next to the Terrifics.

Interesting. I wonder if Damage will make it past issue 12? Right now the only two I was predicting that would are the Terrifics and Sideways.

I hope not. To me tying in Unknown to failed experiments derails the central premise of UnSo. His bandages were the result of disfigurement due to battle and a spin of sorts to All Quiet on the Western Front and A Badge of Honor among other war classics. As much as I often disagree with DC Dinosaurs who need to keep us religiously locked into decades of useless Canon this would undercut an important character in the DCU and the original intent of his creators. The fact that his quasi mystical appearances during times of strife would be a cool tie in with Damage for sure. Glad to see people are still liking this and buying it.
