The Six Million Dollar Man: Fall of Man #1

Dynamite's 2016 series The Six Million Dollar Man: Fall of Man kicks off with this sleek, retro-tinged first issue, its cover showing Steve Austin mid-leap against a warm gradient sky — red tracksuit, fist raised, the picture of bionic confidence even as the ominous subtitle looms large below him. The iconic tagline ("better, stronger, faster") frames the image with just the right mix of nostalgia and unease, hinting that the "fall" promised by the title may complicate that optimism. Writer Van Jensen and artist Ron Salas open a story with "Chapter One: Cursed Is the Ground," a title that sets a thoughtful, perhaps darker tone for this reimagining of the beloved franchise.
