Why is this not a thing in comics? This topic has been used in books since 1959, but it does not exist in comics. The Japanese have their own mecha genre, why can't we have our own genre based on the tastes of Western public? And don't tell me about Tony, he could be counted, but his arch-enemy is a Chinese dude with magic rings, this completely destroys the atmosphere of fantastic militarism. Actually, there is no atmosphere of fantastic militarism in the comics about Ironman because it is a superhero comics, he has his own laws of the genre.
Where is my power armor genre?

try some Halo comics?

Did they change anything in the comics compared to the game? Because in the game its more advance vest than full power armor.
Jayden Sanders
nah, they're mostly pretty faithful
Asher Brown
There's a Starship Troopers comic called Dominant Species that's introduces powered armor to the movie universe. It's pretty sick and not too long of a read.

Lore MJOLNIR is a lot more high tech than how its shown in the games. Not quite like Heinlein though, but it expands a lot more on the armor. Some of the books are actually very good, but I havent read the comics. Ghosts of Onyx is top tier, and the Kilo 5 trilogy is great if you want spooky spy shit where ONI operatives try to arm alien jihadists for political reasons. The forerunner saga is cool if you want super high tech scifi with dickhead retard aliens.
Power armor is definitely a trope but I dont know if theres enough to make it a true genre. Its more just an expected part of military scifi.

You talking some 40k Space Marine stuff? I would say there is a lot of works that have it or similar. Like Halo or Doom, mostly videogame characters as an excuse to do cool videogame stuff. In comics its not big mostly because helmets cover faces and juggernaut armor looks evil.

Yeah, well, this doesn't stop anime and manga, but for some reason it stops western writers. Or more like Western comics writers are self-righteous assholes who are completely disconnected from public demand.
Kevin Jackson
Saban successfully made everyone in the west who sees power armor immediately think of Power Rangers which ruined it for everyone.
