About the series
Marvel’s 2009 War Machine series, drawn by Leonardo Manco, reimagines James Rhodes’ armored alter ego in a single-issue story that strips him of his military support and drops him into a gritty, one-man war. This brief but intense standalone pits Rhodes against a shadowy conspiracy, emphasizing his tactical resourcefulness over raw firepower. It stands as a lean, character-focused snapshot of War Machine at a moment when Marvel was exploring darker, more grounded superhero narratives.
