ROBOCOP COMPETITION! 20 VIDEOS TO BE WON!

"Everything’s going to be okay, Barb! I won't let them hurt you anymore! I'm going to make the bleeding stop."

☆ Deathlok: The Brains of the Outfit:
Part One ☆

Script: McDuffie / Wright | Art: Guice / Willaims / Wright

We don’t see Deathlok very much in the second issue. In fact, besides the opening picture depicting the previous brain being removed from the shell, he features just once, in a bold Jesus Christ pose, and even then he’s inactive.

Instead, we get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes at Cybertek, and learn a little more about the folks that built (and hope to control) the deadly cyborg. Within that setting, the clever wording of the title is apparent.

Outside of that we meet Michael and Tracy, an adult couple with a young child (Nick) that enables the writers to introduce themes of morality and social values, which will no doubt play a greater role in future story lines.

A word of caution: after the Deathlok strip ends, there's a written Q+A with the creators. It's either taken from a different source, or the creators weren't told that it would be placed next to the character's origin story. As such, the answers assume a familiarity with how Deathlok develops later in his evolution. To say there are massive spoilers for what's to come is a major understatement.
