More straightforward than the disappointing Iron Man 2020 #4 this week but cant get higher mark because it has much less meaty goodness.

This chapter was probably meant to definitively explain how the 'Real Tony' will be reborn but FRIDAY's explanation just had me confused as to all the various 'Fake Tony' incarnations over the years and their presentations. Tony has been a convoluted mess masquerading as the real thing, probably, as far back as him installing the digital copy of his brain after his coma-death circa Dark Reign. Maybe the last 2 issues will dot some i's and cross some t's more clearly and make this cruel COVID wait to read Shellhead more worthwhile. more

Entertaining action and banter for 20 pages. Deathloks, MODOK and Ultimo were baffling but bonus surprises.

If Marvel killed off Stan Lee & Arnold Drake's OG Yondu to try to tap some attempt at movie synergy. It is such a disappointment to have that failed and forced status quo change. The iconic character is wiped out in a poorly hyped mini. The art was quite bad. Who knows when Surfer appears chronologically? It's maddening given Norrin has a storyline in progress. And Young Yondu hardly grew to be likable or heroic by the end - not to mention barely synergetic to movie canon.

The pros: The IS a significant status quo change. Skreet is revisited. A sliver of hope Marvel has a care for the long mourned ROM mythos. Curious M'Kraan connections established. more

Strong chapter. Contrivances continue but can be overlooked.

As it moves away from the outer space empire storyline it improves but its taking too long.

Seriously? The average rating is mid-8's right now? This was so bad, so formula, so inconsequential when all was said and done. No cast to speak of, screwy timetravel interpretation, insanely lucky battle showing by Marc repeatedly, and horrible details to the Moon Knight legacy - even though it can be argued that the whole "GLC" variety started specifically askew that just gave the story less impact/meaning trying to "sell it". It would've been fun to see an alt-version of "Phantom Rider" or that early avatar from the Cavengers. Whatever. It was such a disappointment. And the connection to Acts of Evil just escapes me. more

Solid installment. Evil Stagg is a bit redundant of an evil Java. Subplots with Sapph, Dog, Offspring and Mrs.T are okay.

Even better after the references explained.

The banter was better than the battle. And I had to go in knowing everything about the Invasion of Canada would come across sillier than serious. It was good to get another Ratataskr tale.

I agree with most of the comicbookroundup reviewers pros about the prose. The art styling was appropriate for this tale, too.

High octane - I'll give it that. But it was such a mangled choreography and blatant Punisher can't kill Handbook Guy story. Nice cover too, it's what grabbed me to read it.

Liked it.

Convoluted turn off.

Needless retcons to serve the writer's pitch instead of the characters are maddening. Bucky is amateurish here (even if the gun has blanks). Hammond is dull.

Solid but uninteresting. Some more good Gabby banter. Although, the 'feathered' being cameo is curious.

Megan Peters and Adrian Care gives fair props. The art was a bit lacking. Good prep origin for the return of RJ's Bucky WHENEVER that might be.

Solid enough but too decompressively slow. Spidey felt a bit off. Might deserve an 8.

Good stuff with ride so far to find out mystery of the OBA so far.

Nothing original but still it was a good read, regardless.

A strong character piece of RJ's dad but nothing spectacular. Well, except for the apparent finality of the final slip.

Worst issue so far but still important stuff happens.

A decent start. A clearer protagonist would've been better. Nothing intriguingly new on the Skrull front, mostly recycle. The Iron Man cameo was disappointingly brief.

Bored. Not clear who is dead at this point. Does this 'first' Gold/Harley encounter preceed the first issue but follows all the confessionals we've see. This has got me serially screwed up so far.

Average. But after the long absence of FF stories that makes it better than average.

The Torch bits could've used a bit more oomph but otherwise all the Spidey adventure was such a fun read and show of real heroics.

Mostly because of the IM content helped generate my interest.

Seriously, the average is almost 9 so far? Wow. It was too confusing for me after 1st read thru and the dialogue heavy layout could've flowed better.
