Machine guns, muscles, action, one-liners and of course explosions! Heavy Weapon has everything your action movie heart desires: compelling story, characters, amazing art by Michela Da Sacco, and more 80's movie cultural nods than you can shake a grenade at!
Vietnam veteran, John Magnum, is a former member of an elite Special Forces group who left the military after the tragic loss of his entire battalion while under his command; He was only able to save himself and one of his troops. Since then, he has been consumed with guilt over the deaths of his men. He just wants to live a normal life and forget his violent past...
...But now, his former Commanding Officer, Colonel Deckard, has tracked him down to inform him that a small group of POWs - captured during the war 10 years ago - have been found, and are being used as slave labor for a drug cartel in Costa Rica. Deckard asks Magnum to accompany him as an escort on a Top Secret mission to rescue the POWs, but Magnum refuses...
It's not his battle anymore.
Only a few days later, Magnum is approached by his old friend Richter, the only survivor of Magnum's lost battalion. Richter presents Magnum with a surprising video tape revealing that Deckard and his crew have been captured, and are being tortured then killed one-by-one at the hands of a ruthless drug lord. Before the tape ends, Colonel Deckard makes a plea for help from Magnum.
Magnum knows he can't let any more of his friends get killed and decides to go to Costa Rica to exact his revenge on everyone in his path on his mission to rescue Deckard, his team, and the POWs from the clutches of the heartless drug lord...
