Weird Science Marvel Comics - Dr. Carl Bryan
Nov 07, 2022Each story thus far is reminiscent of those come to terms movies in how a hero reaches a pit of despair but battles back to be a better version of themselves. I have echoed that in past reviews, but no character needed more redemption and a good look at themselves than Tony Stark. I have to commend Robert Downey Jr. in that he might have brought Tony Stark to the forefront of the Avengers in his cinematic portrayal, but we that have been with Tony for a long time hope that these revelations help him be a better version of himself.

Nov 03, 2022While I'm annoyed at the concept of The Pillars, the execution here is top-notch, and the art makes up for a multitude of sins, making us feel for every single alt-Tony we encounter. Read Full Review

Nov 02, 2022The creative team is obviously going for some poignancy here, but honestly it's handled about as well as a lot of stories that concern Stark's alcoholism, which is to say that it's not handled well at all. Read Full Review

On the script front, a little long-awaited clarity about the big picture plot combines with a solid (sappy, but solid) character development story for Ant-Tony to deliver a healthy serving of content here. On the art front, while it's clear that Jim Towe is the backup artist called in when Aaron Kuder needs a break, the visuals are at least clear and functional. I'm getting a little interested now that the Masters of Evil story is finally heading toward meaningful conflict. MAN, what a slog to get here, though! Has Jason Aaron always had these infuriating pacing issues? Did I not notice them in his Thor run because I read that in big chunks instead of monthly issues?

This was... almost really good. I may have to give it a reread later and see but I'm writing this after my first impression. Tony and alcoholism has been done but I'm not oppose to it being done again within the multiverse. It's not a bad concept. I would've liked to see a bit more about giant planet drinking Tony robot but that just came and went real fast. I guess what would've made it better to me was if these other Tonies felt like their alcoholism was actually involved with their problems but it seemed more like it was about their mental health, and even then not properly explored. That's what I mean by good concept here, just not executed as good as it could've. It could've been great, instead it's just an okay 7/10.

Jason Aaron doesn't really get Tony Stark that well. After seeing Kieron Gillen deconstruct the character much better over in AXE, I'm all the more letdown here.
