Destroyer #1-5 Complete

is a five-issue limited series from MAX, the mature-oriented imprint of Marvel Comics. It is based on Kevin "Keene" Marlow, aka The Destroyer, a fictional superhero in the Marvel Comics universe, who first appeared in the 1940s during what historians and fans call the Golden Age of comic books. He is significant as being one of the earliest creations of industry legend Stan Lee, and first appeared in (Oct. 1941), published by Marvel's predecessor, Timely Comics. Keen Marlow is enhanced by a Super Soldier Serum variant duplicated like Captain America (Steve Rogers) but lacked the special vita ray treatment. His abilities all seem to be at peak human levels except that he is stronger than Steve and the other variants, like the 1950s Captain America and Protocide. Series writer Robert Kirkman () assumes that the Destroyer has had an an going series since the 1940s and thus portrays Marlow as quite elderly but still operating at peak power and strength. In the series Marlow discovers that he has only a short time to live so he resolves to wipe out all bad guys that may harm society or his family before he dies. Gory but considering it doesn't take itself too seriously, fun. Explicit content.

For sixty years, Keen Marlowe has been a super hero, taking down bad guys, fighting the good fight. But it’s is about to come crashing to an end. See, Marlowe is dying -- maybe today, maybe tomorrow, the only question is when. But Marlowe isn’t about to go quietly into the night. Before he goes, he intends to leave the world a safer place for his family. And if that means hunting down -- and murdering -- every super-villain he can, so be it. They don’t call him “Destroyer” for nothing. Story: ROBERT KIRKMAN; Art & Covers: CORY WALKER --
