Captain America/Iron Man #1(@dereklandy @_angelunzueta @rachellecheri @joecaramagna) is an action-packed, fun start to the series! Read Full Review
Captain America/Iron Man #1 highlights the complicated friendship between the Sentinel of Liberty and the Armored Avenger, while also pitting them against a threat that ties into both of their histories. Though this is a miniseries, I wouldn't mind seeing more team-ups between Cap and Iron Man in the future. Read Full Review

Final ThoughtsCaptain America / Iron Man #1 is a fun and engaging first issue with the top leaders of the Avengers chasing down an unassuming villain whose little plan may be more dangerous than anyone realizes. The art is great, and Landy perfectly captures the characterizations of Cap and Tony. However, a few of the minor plot points don't quite add up, relying on the reader to turn a blind eye to get the best experience out of the issue. Read Full Review
I didn't have immensely high expectations for this series coming in. But I'm interested in learning more about Veronica Eden, who Marvel seems to have some sort of plans for. Read Full Review
This is an exciting story that makes smart use of recent abandoned continuity bits and sets up a mystery for two core Avengers to unravel. What's not to like? Read Full Review
If readers jumping into the book are looking forward to seeing the two Avengers in the spotlight, then they will come away disappointed. Secretly, the star of the first issue is Veronica Eden, a Hydra villain with nebulous goals. Read Full Review
The art throughout the battles and dramatic rescues feels blurred and rushed. The characters and backgrounds are over-simplified. Veronica has some potential to be interesting, it feels like the writers are channeling Harley Quinn a bit. But even as she escapes the book just sinks under the weight of all of the other dull characters and concepts around her. Read Full Review
A fun intro issue.
Pretty decent first issue and very good art, the story was kinda wacky but in a good way.
More Iron Man focused, but I have zero problem with that. Really liking this story compared to Tony's run that's published right now
This is a sneak sequel to Falcon & Winter Soldier. I think the tone here is a bit better than that series. I liked it. It's a pretty good time.
So despite the title, this is actually a villain protagonist story starring Veronica Eden (or as I called her during Derek Landy's Falcon & Winter Soldier, Day-Glo Terrorist Barbie). Veronica's parts and the heroes' parts are decent on their own, but they don't add up to a fully satisfying story -- yet.
There's an overdose of exposition, and yet there's still bad confusion (as opposed to good ambiguity) about who's working with whom and why.
On the plus side, the art's pretty sweet (though the fight scenes could definitely use stronger visual storytelling) and there's some solid humor along the way.
