  Unfortunately, the art is a bit rougher this month than it has been. Once again, Carlo Pagulayan and Wellinton Alves share pencilling duties. However, the general quality of Pagulayan's line-work is haphazard enough that readers might be fooled into thinking there are even more artists on board. Don't expect anything with the same level of detail and clarity as the cover. Still, there are more than a few dynamic panels here, and the scenes of Machine Man's magical mystery tour stand out in particular. Read Full Review

  I did find some of Machine Man's dialogue to be a little bit obnoxious in this issue; like the scene where he compares himself to Ultron, for example. I think it could have been better executed and less annoying. Aside from that moment, his character is very interesting. You're not supposed to like him (I don't think), and Parker doesn't help you (the reader) to like Machine Man. However, just because he's not likeable doesn't mean he is an impossible character to read, and I think that's important. Although the issue didn't start out with a lot of action, you do, by the end, get a lot of action. I felt it also important to note that the story that is being crafted by Parker is more interesting and a lot deeper than I had originally anticipated, and that makes it a very interesting read.

  If Parker, Pagulayan and Alves can capture the magic of that final panel and extrapolate it out into the rest of the book they might have something, but three issues into this series, I don't see it. Read Full Review
