The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of THE
SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN: SEASON SIX #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. The story is
by Jim Kuhoric, with art by Juan Antonio Ramirez, colors by Fran Gamboa, and lettering
by Joshua Cozine.
The Venus One Space Orbiter has splashdown off the
Florida coast after encountering a radiation cloud which knocked out its
communications. Steve joins a group whose task is to recover the orbiter and
find out what happened. That’s easier said than done. Meanwhile, Oscar attends
a meeting in which another OSI agent presents M.A.S.K.A.T.RON - a robot that
can do everything the six million dollar man can do, but cheaper and more
controllable. Are Steve’s days numbered?
I think it’s kinda cool that Dynamite wants to continue
the original TV show’s continuity. And they start off by bringing back
MASKATRON as a possible replacement for Steve Austin no less! Interesting. This
is a very promising start to the series. Jim Kuhoric’s story has it all,
action, intrigue, and drama. Juan Antonio Ramirez and Fran Gamboa make a great
art team; the pages were awesome to see. You need to get this just for the
shark battle sequence alone!
THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN: SEASON SIX #1 is in stores
now, or available for ordering at www.dynamite.com.
