An unknown assailant kills all the scientists and steals what looks like a bionic arm. We actually start off, not with Steve Austin, but with a break in at a government laboratory. The events have been updated a bit and a few things changed. The first 10 issues contain the story arc that is taken directly from Kevin Smith’s unproduced script.Įssential Plot: It starts off very similar to the original TV show/novel. Up to this point I have read the first 14 issues of Dynamite’s The Bionic Man. The first issue would be released in August 2011. The book’s interiors would be drawn by Jonathan Lau, it would have Alex Ross variant covers and the name would be Kevin Smith’s The Bionic Man. The comic’s script would be written by Phil Hester and be based on Smith’s movie script. Then, in March 2011, Kevin Smith announced that his unproduced script would be re-adapted into a comic book series for Dynamite comics. Unfortunately, nothing ever happened on that project. I was very excited about this prospect as, at the time, I was a big fan of Kevin Smith and loved the idea of him re-imagining the Steve Austin universe (of which I was a big fan). In the mid-90s, Kevin Smith famously wrote a script for a Bionic Man movie that was a reboot of the TV series. Many different writers took a stab at a script. Richard Anderson, the man who played Oscar Goldman in The Six Million Dollar Man TV series tried for years to get a Bionic Man movie off the ground.
