Description
During the Cold War, America and Russia were seemingly locked into a cycle of ever-increasing weapons creation that culminated in two unparalleled nuclear arsenals. But what if their nuclear programmes were mirrored by the development of superheroes?The super-powered Russian Dolls are cutting a swathe of death across America! Senator Joe has been co-opted into a new race war! The US government needs their own hero, Max, but will he come out of hiding to save the world from extinction - and what will it cost him?Acclaimed writer Peter Milligan ("Enigma", "Human Target") and penciller CP Smith ("Stormwatch: Team Achilles") present a fearsome look at America's forgotten heroes!
