'Having Nazi Germany have the lead in this field creates an enormous challenge for the Allies to try to match.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Only $1.99 for over 100 pages of original content you can't get online! Kieron Gillen's smash hit, Uber unleashes an exclusive #1/2 comic that you can only get right here! Uber #1/2 Sieglinde delves deep into her origin and each copy of Bleeding Cool Magazine #8 has a unique redemption code so you can read it. 'There is very much a Battle of Britain-ness to it, the refusal to give up and fighting uphill,' Gillen says. It all builds to the first big battle between Allies and Ubers. He stayed home for the first five-issue arc and focused on primarily the Western theater and aspects such as Churchill's politics and Bletchley Park.

He sees the series going from Germany to Britain to Okinawa to the Eastern front and the Soviet superhuman program to the Atlantic Ocean. Gillen spent a lot of time doing research over the past five years, poring over history books to reach an acceptable amount of authenticity and mapping out Uber's battle plan. I was writing Georgy Zhukov the Soviet general and I realized, 'No, I think that's unfair to Zhukov,' so I had to completely reapproach the scene.' 'There are moments when I'm writing something and I realize it's not fair to do that to that character - rarely with the Nazis. The series will span the globe in terms of different theaters of war and in types of characters - however, there are no leads since Gillen wants readers to worry that people could die at any time, sometimes rather nastily. These are enormous forces that can crush anybody.'Įven though it's called Uber, the book focuses on more than the Nazi war machine. Occasionally, the economics and the military situation will lead to people being crushed in the wheels of history, and that's true whether you are the most powerful person on Earth or if you're just a random orphan living in the streets of Okinawa. 'It's not a story about heroism and overcoming. 'In the same way that a tank is an incredible piece of hardware, a modern attack helicopter will always take out a tank just because they are different tools for different purposes. Uber is the story that every single time, Galactus will kill Spider-Man,' Gillen explains.

'It doesn't matter if Spider-Man's fighting Galactus - Spider-Man will find a way to beat Galactus. In fact, one of the core ideas of the book was to stray from the traditional idea of heroic action fiction that the hero will always rise to overcome an objective.
