WAR MACHINE #9
(Dec., 1994) "Once Upon a Time in China." Cover art: Kev Hopgood. Script: Scott Benson/Len Kaminski. Art: Geoff Senior/Pam Ecklund. "Hands of the Mandarin" part 2!
The Mandarin has erected an anti-technology field over China, and has plans to do so over the entire world! Century (from Force Works) has jaunted War Machine from Mandy's clutches, but the anti-tech field renders Jim's armor useless. Jim and Century discover Su Yin (see IM #270), who was almost a victim of a warlord -- warlords who have begun to terrorize China now that no technology functions anymore. Speaking of which -- Century figures out how to get the WM suit working again! Elsewhere, Force Works begins an assault on Mandy's castle!
This ish is continued from Force Works #6 and continues in Iron Man #311. Former IM artist Kev Hopgood does the cover, too, and it's most cool! Note: artist Geoff Senior is also the artist who drew the awesome What If issue "What if Iron Man Sold Out?" No credits are given in that issue, so just an FYI here.
