Damage is one of the ‘New Age of Heroes’ characters that seems to fit easiest among DC’s pre-existing properties – and not just because the character shares a name with a ‘Zero Hour’-era Titan. The concept is relatively simple: a soldier undergoes a medical experiment to become a super soldier, but something goes wrong. Remind you of anyone else? Nah?

Anyway, that concept can be easily transported into any number of DC books, and it also allows any number of DC characters to pop up. Thus far, we’ve seen the Suicide Squad, Poison Ivy, and Wonder Woman all guest in the title. This month we see a classic, but under utilized DC character show up: the Unknown Soldier. We’re thrilled to share an exclusive preview of “Damage” #8, due out on August 15th.

Cover by Trevor Hairsine
Written by Robert Venditti
Laid out by Tom Derenick
Penciled by Diogenes Neves and Tom Derenick
Inked by Trevor Scott
Colored by Allen Passalaqua
Lettered by Tom Napolitano

Laid up in a hospital recuperating till he can become Damage again, Ethan Avery gets help from a surprising source: the Unknown Soldier, master of covert warfare! The Soldier helps Ethan evade Colonel Jonas and her military ops team until his powers recharge, but time’s running out—not just for Ethan, but for the other patients as well.

Thanks again to DC for the preview, and make sure to pick up the issue on Wednesday!
