Colonel Steve Austin is at death’s door after the catastrophic crash landing of his experimental aircraft, and even as surgeons struggle to save his life, the shadowy figures in the upper echelons of the espionage service O.S.I. plot to augment him with dangerous, untested bionics. Meanwhile, the entity known as Hull amasses a secret army bent on wiping humanity from the face of the Earth. The only person capable of stopping Hull is Steve Austin, the Bionic Man, but will he survive his own genesis as the world’s first cyborg?

the first issue was promising, but just like the Green Hornet stuff, the pacing on this is dead slow, despite the nature of the story. Also, there are some goofy things in this, although i can’t completely say i hated them.
I was thinking about waiting for the 1st trade to come out and then trying it.
it actually probably does read better in chunks than issues.
I have wanted to see a Bionic Man series for a long time so I am very pumped for the story to get going. I do agree that the pacing does need to speed up a bit, but I think I’m around for the long haul. And the covers do look amazing!
