Dark Avengers Ares #1 (OF 3)
/cover-large.jpg)
Ares - the God of War! His relentless brutality and his bloodthirsty drive to attain victory at any cost earned him only scorn from his fellow gods in the Greek pantheon, and exile from Olympus. After thousands of years living as a man and fighting in man’s bloody, petty conflicts, Ares joined the ranks of Earth's mightiest heroes - the Avengers. Now Norman Osborn - the new head of the corrupted Dark Avengers and director of the paramilitary intelligence agency H.A.M.M.E.R. - wants the finest fighting force the God of War can provide. He charges Ares with hand-picking an elite squad of soldiers and beating them into the hardest, sharpest warriors ever to wield an M-60 in each hand. And that's exactly what Ares will need, when the goddess Hera provides him with a fighting chance to regain his standing in the pantheon's eyes. And Ares is taking his men with him into the battle of their lives...

Curious about this. Ares is one of my faves, and I have no idea how Gillen would write him. Guess I'll have to pick it up to find out!

yeah.... i would really apply any pre-concieved ideas about phonogram to this. They seem very different

Oh my god this was awesome. Totally not what I expect from Gillen, but man did he hit it out of the park.
