The Warzones get even stranger with M.O.D.O.K. Assassin #1

M.O.D.O.K. is the perfect assassin. No wait, that can’t be right…

There’s a new killer in town, and he’s taking the Secret Wars by storm. Evil has a new face. A giant face with no body. Prepare to meet the deadliest hitman on Battleworld in M.O.D.O.K. ASSASSIN #1 – a brand new Secret Wars limited series coming this May! Writer Christopher Yost (co-writerMarvel’s Thor: The Dark World, Amazing X-Men) and artist Amilcar Pinna (All-New Ultimates) take you inside Battleworld’s wildest domain! Enter Killville, the only place on all of Battleworld where murder is always the correct answer. If you’ve got a problem – kill it! In a world populated by fearsome thieves, mercenaries and ne’er do wells – there is one who is a HEAD above the rest. M.O.D.O.K.! The Mental Organism Designed Only for KILLING! And when he’s got you in his sights you’re dust. But his next job may just put him in over his head. A job that will force him to go toe-to-toe with Doc Ock, Bullseye, Baron Mordo and more – and that’s just the first issue! Believe us, bullets will fly and heads will roll this May when M.O.D.O.K. ASSASSIN #1 comes to town!

What is up with M.O.D.O.K. lately? The big-headed AI is just about everywhere it seems and Secret Wars will obviously be on the receiving end of a whole lot of him. Far from a laughing stock in this book though, the big (headed) guy is apparently a world-class killing machine. Who’d a thunk it?

I imagine this issue is set to be somewhat tongue in cheek with humor to spare, because really, we’re talking about M.O.D.O.K. here. Aside from the laughs (again, I’m assuming), the comic will also have the writing talents of Chris Yost and pencils from Amilcar Pinna. I’m not all that familiar with Pinna, but from the preview pages below, his work is looking all kinds of great.

MODOK Assassin #1 arrives on the shelves this month, on May 27th.
