Exclusive Marvel Comics Preview: Deathlok #1 By Nathan Edmonson and Mike Perkins

Marvel Comics have shared three new pages of preview art for next month's Deathlok #1 exclusively with ComicBook.com.

The series, written by Nathan Edmonson and featuring art by Mike Perkins, will follow Henry Hayes, the new Deathlok introduced in Original Sins #1 back in June.

The character follows in the footsteps of a number of characters to use the Deathlok name, one of whom had an ongoing series in the '90s. There have been a number of attempts at having the character break into the mainstream, but probably the biggest help has been the use of the antihero on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

And, yes, he bears more than a passing resemblance to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actor J. August Richards, with whom we will have an interview later. We ran an excerpt from it, talking about his social media interactions with fans, yesterday.

You can check out the pages below; click on one to enlarge it.

Deathlok #1 hits stores this October.
