SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN SEASON 6 #1\\n
Jim Kuhoric (w)\\n

Alex Ross, Ken Haeser (c)\\n
It\\u2019s the Six Millions Dollar Man\\u2019s 40th anniversary, and Dynamite is proud to bring you the direct continuation of the classic television series with Season 6! Better. Stronger. Faster. The original Six Million Dollar Man, Steve Austin was a man barely alive until the OSI turned him into the world\\u2019s first Bionic Man. Now he and Oscar Goldman are the most effective team in National Security. But a rogue faction in the OSI is making a power play for that position with a new type of infiltration agent \\u2013 one that is completely obedient and robotic. Can a soulless machine that wears Steve Austin\\u2019s very face make the Six Million Dollar Man obsolete? For the 1st Time EVER! Fan favorite toy-line character Maskatron makes his Six Million Dollar Man debut and becomes a part of the classic television series mythology with a violent and terrifying purpose. And as Steve\\u2019s world is threatened from within, his very actions unknowingly release an alien menace upon an unsuspecting world. Classic action, powerful science fiction, and a cast of characters from one of television\\u2019s most original series combine to make The Six Million Dollar Man: Season Six a must have for comic fans!

ZACH\\n
Evil Empire #1\\n
(W) Max Bemis (A) Ransom Getty (CA) William Pyle\\n
From BOOM! Studios. \\n
WHY WE LOVE IT: After Polarity, we just had to work with writer (and Say Anything lead singer) Max Bemis again, and his thrilling take on how our modern society could evolve into an evil empire is absolutely terrifying.\\n
WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT: Every fan of fiction is aware of the trope of the "evil, sinister empire" i.e. the Empire in Star Wars. Oftentimes, when we are introduced to these totalitarian establishments, they are already fully in power and it\'s up to our hero to bring back order and peace. However, in Evil Empire, we explore how that would unfold in a real-world setting. How close to the precipice are we right now in the world we live in? Would we let it happen? More specific to this tale: Would we secretly want it to happen?\\n
WHAT IT\'S ABOUT: Told through the perspective of an underground rapper named Reese, Max Bemis\' gripping story explores a scenario in which we watch our modern society gradually evolve (or is it devolve?) into an evil empire.
