“If you hunt and kill a man, it’s murder, but what if it’s a robot with advanced artificial intelligence? To Magnus, that’s murder, too. The Metal Mob’s Capo Andronicus runs a “safari” racket patronized by the idle rich, who pay to track sentient Q-ROBs deep in the lawless Goph Lands. Tonight’s prey: Q-ROB Steelhammer. Even though Steelhammer is a blood-soaked human killer, Magnus cannot allow him to be hunted like an animal. Interfering with the hunt makes Magnus prey as well . . . dangerous game, indeed. Magnus confronts the Boss of all Bosses, Timur, in a battle for the ages!”
“This is what we love about comics: non-stop, kick-ass action.” —Comic Attack
“Magnus offers a Silver Age tone with enough modern storytelling sensibility to not stick out as being hokey or dated.” —IGN

That Raymond Swanland is just a fantastic cover artist! His work on all of the Aliens and Predator books just blew me away and I’d definitely pick up a cover gallery book of his one day!
Wait! I just noticed Calero’s name isn’t on here at all for Solar. So he was just the artist for the first issue and that’s it? That’s a bit of a letdown if you ask me but ah well.
Dark Horse is doing a great job reviving these classics!
Really liking both of these books so far.
Those covers are definitely beautiful.
Hells yeah! I’m loving this! Both artworks are incredibly well done. 😀
