Juanan Ramirez does some excellent work in this issue. MODOK looks awesome and the action looks great as well. There is great energy throughout the artwork and it perfectly captures the mood and tone of the story. Read Full Review
I had a blast reading this thanks to the escapism and jam-packed plot and action. If you like fast-paced action comics don't skip this fun miniseries. Read Full Review
If you're a huge fan of War Machine, U.S. Agent, Mockingbird, or Quake, FORCE WORKS #3 as well as the overall series is totally up your alley. If you've really been digging the IRON MAN 2020 event, this issue and series will be a fun addition to the overall story. Read Full Review
Force Works 2020 #3 is fun, light superhero fare, that flirts with being too clich and quippy at times, but it has heart. Read Full Review
I love a book that focuses on an oddball group of heroes, and Rosenberg establishes a decent dynamic with his characters here. But fairly by-the-numbers plotting drowns out the best parts of the script. Read Full Review
If it weren't for the issue's modern style, it wouldn't be difficult to think this was a relic of the 1980s pulled from a back issue bin. Read Full Review
Force Works 2020 #3 is a team-up book that struggles to work like a well-oiled machine... It ultimately feels like an unimportant tie-in as opposed to part of an epic storyline. The art team is effective at keeping the reader's attention and getting their hearts pumping at times, but its hard not to ignore the lack of any connection between the members of Force Works.

This suffers from trying to do too much without the page space necessary to do it. It brings down the entire book because Matt Rosenberg isn't able to really put voice into any of the characters. Their dialogue needs to move the plot along, so there's no time for that snappy wit that Matthew Rosenberg's comics usually have. We see shades of his voice coming out with the inclusion of ridiculous concepts like UltiM.O.D.O.K. But it's not enough to make this issue seem like anything but an average miniseries that didn't have the time it needed to tell a story that was largely unnecessary and only exists to be a cash grab tie-in.
I made the mistake of reading IM 2020 #6 before this. Suffice it to say this series and the main event do not align in the slightest.
I also believe there is for each reader a fixed number of issues after which Matthew Rosenberg's patented snark-a-matic team dynamic switches from "clever and refreshing" to "trite and repetitive." I'm afraid I passed that point long ago.
Like I mean it wasn’t bad, but was it good?
