In a world where the Cold War turned hot and tensions continue into the present day, America needs soldiers with nerves of steel...and in the late 1960s, it got them: a crack squad of soldiers nicknamed "The Metal Men." They ended the war in Czechoslovakia, and achieved greatness as a result, as one soldier would become President, another would join the Cabinet, and some of the others would follow NIGHTWING--giving one even greater influence than the President. But first they would have to win a bloody war, and that fateful battle unfolds here.
Written by Ron Marz. Art and cover by Mike McKone and Mark McKenna.

Introducing the TANGENT Universe's strangest heroes in a story by writer Kurt Busiek!
After the atomic destruction that vaporized Florida, schools of undersea creatures were being transformed into a new race of beings--the Sea Devils. These new creatures fight to keep a safe distance from the intolerant human race--except for the rebel named Redfin, who defies the laws of his father, the Ocean Master, and leads a group of his friends to explore the world above. But a new horror is rising from the ocean depths, one that threatens both worlds. Can Redfin overcome fear and prejudice to save both races?
