im Shooter (W), Bill Reinhold (A), Wes Dzioba (C), and Raymond Swanland (Cover) At the feet of the milespires of the utopian megalopolis North Am, in the shadowy regions where the dregs of humanity dwell, Magnus invades the stronghold of the 'Metal Mob'-human criminals who use robot muscle to plunder and terrorize the city. Big Guns, the cyborg mob enforcer, along with scores of brutal thug-robs and assassins, stands between Magnus and the 'Pens,' where kidnap victims await ransom, auctioning into off-world slavery, or being sold by weight as a protein source to the Arcturians. Leeja Clane and the stunningly beautiful Cinnette, both kidnap victims, are prime material for the chattel trade. In a lawless land, Magnus fights against an army of ruthless killers to save the Metal Mob's prisoners, especially the woman he is quickly falling in love with. Magnus is back with a vengeance! Written by comics legend Jim Shooter and illustrated by Bill Reinhold. Re-imagined by comics legend Jim Shooter! 40 pages, full color. Cover price $3.50.

Jim Shooter (W), Stephen Thompson, Mark Irwin (A), Wes Dzioba (C), and Raymond Swanland (Cover) If you hunt and kill a man, it's murder, but what if it's a robot with advanced artificial intelligence? To Magnus, that's murder, too. The Metal Mob's Capo Andronicus runs a 'safari' racket patronized by the idle rich, who pay to track sentient Q-ROBs deep in the lawless Goph Lands. Tonight's prey: Q-ROB Steelhammer. Even though Steelhammer is a blood-soaked human killer, Magnus cannot allow him to be hunted like an animal. Interfering with the hunt makes Magnus prey as well . . . dangerous game, indeed. Magnus confronts the Boss of all Bosses, Timur, in a battle for the ages! 'This is what we love about comics: non-stop, kick-ass action.' -Comic Attack 'Magnus offers a Silver Age tone with enough modern storytelling sensibility to not stick out as being hokey or dated.' -IGN Cover price $3.50.
