Captain America and Iron Man head to Madripoor for a technology expo! What could possibly go wrong? Everything! Especially when Batroc's Brigade shows up and a technological nightmare threatens to brings the world to its knees.
This issue is well-written, well-drawn, and features two old friends doing the things they're good at: showing off and fighting, though not necessarily in that order. I don't even mind that Captain America has a new lady in his life, though I wonder what Sharon Carter might have to say about it. Captain America and Iron Man #633 is a surprise, a book that might make it back onto my pull list with regular performance like this, earning 4.5 out of 5 stars overall. I have been hearing good things about Cullen Bunn as a writer, but this issue makes all the good press make sense... Read Full Review
Worth the read alone for the snarky opening technological display at the con by Tony Stark of a device that could be a devastating weapon, but that he wont sell to anyone desiring to use it as so, Captain America and Iron Man is Marvel Comics superhero storytelling at its simplest best. A solid, self-contained arc of a read, Im really looking forward to the rest of One Night in Madripoor. Read Full Review
While it may move a bit slow, Captain America and Iron Man is a great looking book. Barry Kitson puts together some truly inspired pages. His fight scene looks spectacular. The only place that the art trips up is with the character expressions. Everyone seems so emotionless for most of the issue. They just kind of stare with their mouths closed. But, since more than half of the issue features Cap and Iron Man chatting on the phone while walking through a convention, maybe they were just as bored as the rest of us. Read Full Review
It's a tough call, in the end. “Captain America and…” is a book that you'd want to like more, and while it certainly has it's form of charm it's just tough to value this book more than “Captain America,” “Invincible Iron Man” or even “The Avengers.” It's a nice distraction from the rest of the world and even a nice deviation from the world of “Avengers vs X-Men” and all that no more Avengers stuff, but even so there's only so many comics you can buy in a given week. Sometimes when a book is good but not great, you just have to flip a coin (or wait for trade). Read Full Review
Even though there is some potential here for the story, it feels like in the end, it won't matter. There most likely won't be any major repercussions happening here. We could simply enjoy this story for the team-up it is but with so many titles to read each week, I question if this should be one of them. I like the idea of Steve and Tony in a story involving espionage. We'll see where it goes next issue and if I will continue to read this series. Read Full Review
