Bits and PiecesCaptain America/Iron Man #5 ends the mini-series somewhat neatly with great art, great action, and a complete ending that leaves the door open for more. That said, the great art and action are put up against a convoluted plan and confusing characters for a generally mixed arc. Read Full Review

Captain America/Iron Man failed to live up to my expectations, but that may have more to do with what I was expecting from the title. Read Full Review

This is a pretty good finale to a miniseries that felt more unnecessary than fun. It seems like the writer had something to say about the bias in power structures on display in superhero comics, but at the end of the day, had to basically concede that it's just a necessary function of superhero comics. Which is okay, I guess. But if that's the grand answer - it is what it is, and we have to make the best of it - that's not very strong, no matter if it's coming from Captain America. But regardless of that, this miniseries often felt overwritten and all over the place. It's fun at times, but I can't help but feel like it's a placeholder for Captain America's editors to figure out what to do with the character.

I really like the characterization of tony and cap. Also the 51 guy is nice, but the rest of the plot is not good at all
