WAR MACHINE #7

(October, 1994) "Cold War!" Cover art: Gabe Gecko. Script: Scott Benson/Len Kaminski. Art: Gabriel Gecko/Pam Ecklund. 

War Machine is in the Arctic Circle, and at the mercy of a cool customer! Flashback to WM traipsing through the Arctic looking for friend and confidante Hawkeye. They chat in a Stark Enterprises shelter about killing and what makes a hero. Then, Hawkeye reveals why he's in the Arctic in the first place -- Mack Mendelson is missing (last seen in an H-eye ltd. series). While following Mack's trail, they encounter Cold Warrior, a Soviet creation that has been asleep for 30 years! Hawkeye and WM dispatch with CW a bit too easily when compared to the dramatic beginning. CW dies, Mack is saved, and Rhodes announces it's time for he and Tony Stark to have a long talk!
