Uber #10

'People have described the 2000s comic in a variety of ways. I quite like “The Prismatic Age,” the idea that it was the age of analogues, the widescreen era, but for me, it was the Paramilitary Age. All the superheroes were basically in the army. The Avengers were a government organization, and when I was writing the X-Men, I was running it like a very methodical army. Uber is a part of that, that pushed it to this ridiculous extreme, this purely materialistic take on the superhero.' -- Kieron Gillen

Beneath the cut, some pages from last month's issue of UBER...







Unfortunately, the errors in coloring and word balloon placement in the next two pages make it rather confusing who's saying what:





At Bletchley Park, Stephanie meets Britain's new Battleship-potential individual, a woman named Leah Cohen.





In the world of UBER, funds that would have gone to Wernher Von Braun's rocket research instead were spent on Sankt's enhanced human research. This slowed down Von Bruan's progress but, as this issue points out, did not completely stop it:

Aw, I hope Leah survives.

I hope she survives AND hulks out as stylishly as Battleship Sieglinde. (Cliche points if they name her "Battleship Britannia", though. I'd prefer, say, Boudicca.)

It is a poor day for modern comics when one of the best-dressed women is a guilt-ridden Nazi mass-murdering tank-woman.

Well the Nazis did have Hugo Boss designing their uniforms (particularly the Hitler Youth and the SS if I remember correctly), which was the reason he was removed from his own company after the War, even though it still has his name.

The propaganda effect of a young Jewish superwoman defeating possibly the Nazis most prominent superhuman would be pretty amazing though.

I agree on all parts here. And yes Hugo boss did design and cloth the Nazis.

So what horrific mutations occur if they double up on the scotch? Or are they saving that for Ms. Cohen's debut?

We haven't seen it yet.
