4	''Brute Force'' is a 2023 Creator/InfinityComics webcomic from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written by Nick Giovannetti and Creator/PaulScheer, with art by G Geoffo and color are by Dee Cunliffe.
5
6	Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, it's a sequel to the 1990 [[ComicBook/BruteForce1990 comic of the same name]] and stars the titular Brute Force: a squad of cyborg {{Uplifted Animal}}s, who were created to fight back against humans causing criminal damage to the environment. That was a long time ago, though - their human creator is dead and they're now wanted by the authorities.

8	All six issues were released at once on July 7, 2023.
9	----
10	!!''Brute Force'' (2023) provides examples of:
11	* BetaTestBaddie: Jojo was one of the first test subjects for the enhancements that later created Brute Force and Heavy Metal. She's not directly angry at her successors - but she's ''furious'' that humans saw her as an expendable animal and abandoned her, and her lover Link, to die in orbit.
12	* BrainUploading: Jojo and Link were equipped with chips that would allow their personalities to be uploaded. However, when Jojo tested this after Link's death, it didn't work. [[spoiler:Towards the end of the arc, it's revealed that this was just because the computer she tried didn't have the processing power to handle his personality - whereas NASA's newer technology can, and he returns as a ProjectedMan]].
13	* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Boomer and Bear infiltrate the Baxter Building with Bear in a trenchcoat. Partially justified, as civilians seem to assume it's actually the monstrous-looking Thing under the coat and hat, not a normal human. However, even the Human Torch, one of the Thing's teammates, is initially fooled.
14	* DistantPrologue: The first issue begins years ago, with the deaths of the space capsule ''Goliath'''s crew.
15	* InfiniteCanvas: As with Marvel's other Infinity Comics, it’s presented in the vertical scrolling variant. Each issue is a single long page, with one column of panels.
16	* RecycledTitle: As with the [[ComicBook/BruteForce1990 original 1990 series]], the title is simply ''Brute Force'', without a subtitle.
17	* TheStinger: After the WillReturnCaption, the screen is just black - but readers who keep scrolling down will reach a single panel stinger, which seems to show Multicorp Robotics [[spoiler:reviving Dr. Pierce, the team's dead creator]].
18	* WillReturnCaption: The final issue (#6) ends with a "Brute Force Will Return!" caption - followed, if readers scroll further down a plain black screen, by TheStinger.
