Moment of the Day - Lord of War Machine

War Machine #4, by Scott Benson, Len Kaminski, and Gabriel Gecko

Rhodey was so eager to say a catchy action movie quip, he went and started an uprising in Imaya, African country that had a stand-in for Idi Amin, who had his own room full of heads and everything. It was probably one of the more on the nose renditions of a character in modern comics.

Moment of the Day - '90s Costume Week: War Machine

War Machine #20, by Dan Abnett and Fred Haynes

We end the week with a lesser known costume change, as Rhodey dons an alien symbiote-like (though not as evil) costume called war-wear. This came after Rhodey lost his classic War Machine armor traveling through time fighting nazis. This only lasted about 5 issues before the series was cancelled, and then Onslaught and Heroes Reborn/Return quietly hit the reset on Rhodey getting back his original armor. In many ways this costume was similar to what Tony has now, where it's a part of the wearer and appears out of nowhere and had new weapons.

So that's it for the first iteration of '90s costume week, I'll be looking at doing the '80s and the '00s down the road, or maybe come back with more '90s costumes.
