Crank-like!
I was totally hooked when I saw a plot summary on Marvel's official page. Didn't know this guy was a reinvention of an old character called Mighty Destroyer (who makes a cameo in the second issue). In addition, I didn't even know that Robert Kirkman, one of my favorite writers, was on board. Plus, the MAX thingy on the cover makes me wanna check it out immediatly. Keene Marlowe is your old warhorse dying hero who's trying to take all the f@#s that make this world a dangerous place for every single being he cares for. In fact, the story kick-starts with a great fight at the top floor of a building that's wide-screen like with explosions and violence, lotsa' it, as we see the mighty destroyer punchin' and kickin' his way through villains to get rid of the menaces that will threaten the planet once he's dead. The feelin' of Keene's health deteriorating is pretty solid in this book (although Cory Walker's art is cartoonish). The super-villain line-up is pretty much an over-the-top cast, that makes the book even better, for it's a love letter to crazy-ass villains of the Golden Age of comics.
