From the jaws of defeat, the Nazi war machine is resurrected by walking battleship superhuman soldiers who turn the tide of World War II. Kieron Gillen unveils his epic new monthly series, which rewrites history with a horrifying twist! Super soldiers now turn the machinations of the Twentieth Century's greatest madman into reality. The Ubers are here and the world will tremble at their feet. But a deeply entrenched spy could be the difference in seeing the world remade in the Nazi vision and the Allies finding a way to stem the tide.

    ber trades on historical realities for its fiction, although Gillen freely admits that he's certain hardened World War II experts would catch things he's missed or messed up. He also stresses that he's not Garth Ennis, whose knowledge of war minutiae is legendary. Gillen's focusing more on the conflict between humanity and the atrocities they are capable of perpetrating " what that does to a person, and the struggle to keep one's soul in the savage madness of it all. He's right about this not being a book to "enjoy." But it's certainly a book worth reading. Read Full Review

    Overall, a great first issue, as it ramps up on the action, which make sit both gory and suspenseful. The story by Kieron Gillen is thrilling and suspense laden. The art by Caanan White is unnerving and vivid. Altogether, this issue gives you an unflinching look at war especially when superpowers are involved. Read Full Review

    Comics Bulletin - Danny Djeljosevic May 14, 2013

    As with Issue #0, the visuals are the worst part of ber, with White and Keith Williams' linework slathered in gray by Digikore Studios. It's okay to make a comic look good, you don't have to be scared. I promise. I'd probably be happier if Digikore brought in the same palettes they use for their Archie Comics work. Read Full Review
