4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 57 ratings

Collects Deathlok (1991) 1-15, Annual #1.

As if being duped by his evil ex-employers into becoming the cyborg soldier Deathlok isn't enough, now Michael Collins is square in the sights of a mad villain collecting and disassembling cyborgs and androids. Can you guess the secret of Mechadoom? Hopefully, Deathlok can -- with a little help from the Fantastic Four and the X-Men! Then, what happens when the man in the body of a killing machine meets the killing machine in the body of a man? Find out when Deathlok and the Punisher team up! And the nightmare is far from over for Collins: When he finds himself in battle with Ghost Rider, it's time to fight hellfire with firepower! Though a pacifist at heart, Deathlok quickly gets to grips with the ever-volatile Marvel Universe!

I love Michael Collins Deathlok. He sits right in between the "dark and gritty" and "light and fun" in an attempt to tell an extremely human story. Despite the name, this was never intended to be a Punisher-esque violent hero, but a man who desperately wants to never harm anyone, but is betrayed and finds himself trapped inside a killing machine.

It's a comic that has a lot to say about what it means to be a man (some is specific to being a black man, but that sailed over my white teenaged head.) It really resonated with me as I was trying to figure out what kind of man I wanted to be at the time.

Dwayne McDuffie's fingerprints are all over this, the man who did a lot of work at Marvel and DC, including Static Shock and the Justice League cartoon shows.

Highly recommended.

...it would have finished the arc of the character with him returning to his body.

The team gives somewhat of and ending in this book, but is somewhat underwhelming, i think because of the fact they wanted to maintain the Deathlok character going. This is an example of the fallout of "never ending" storytelling that intellectual properties are victims of.

I only knew about the original deathlok so reading these stories was new and good.

One of the most original revamps of the 90's. Marvel got the cyborg anti-hero of the 70's created by Rich Buckler and brought him into the ultra-violent gun-totting "Death" this, "Blood" that 90's with a twist. Now, pacifist and family man Micheal Collins controls the world's ultimate combat machine. Like Peter parker, Steve Rogers and others more traditional heroes, Collins is the old kind of hero, the do what's right and not what is easiest type, and he does against everyones expectations when they look at his monstruous gun-totting figure, or hear the name Deathlok.
I wish Marvel had gone with Jackson Guice, who did the first two issues of the Prestige Format mini-series that launched this series, as the penciler for the ongoing, instead of Denis Cowan, who did the two later issues of said mini. Guice, who also pencils the lead story of the annual at the end of this TPB, has a more classic style that is more to my liking than Cowan's. However, Cowan is an able artist and inker Mike Manley's more traditional style grounds his art, even when Cowan starts to channel a bit Mignola or Sienkiewicz. All in all, a very enjoyable collection of stories with a very grounded and charismatic lead character. I couldn't recommend it enough. I hope Marvel continues to publish further collections of this series. It sure is worth it.

In a nutshell this is marvel's take on both Tobor the 8man and Robocop.The stories in the book are well written balancing Him being a superhero and his humanity. Factors many modern writers have forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Marvel's hidden gems from the 90s. Deathlok's ...
Reviewed in Canada on February 28, 2017
One of Marvel's hidden gems from the 90s. Deathlok's name instantly reminds any fan of an era when Deathbloods ruled the pages,but don't be fooled. Here's a story of a family man and a pacifist betrayed by his employer and used as firmware in a killing machine. Through his force of will and programming knowledge he exerts control over the machine. Do yourself a favour and read the 4 issue limited series before you read this as his origins are in that series, this continues his tale. The only issue is that being a Marvel book in the 90s there's guest stars and cross overs forced on it all the time. If Marvel had any sense they'd revive the Michael Collins version of Deathlok for today's market and give him the proper series he deserved.
