2 issues in and this comic committed the biggest sin: being boring.

I signed up for Rorschach, not whatever detective story is.

Is it me or was this kinda... anticlimactic? After all the hype and issues building up to the duels we get:

- a super-short battle where Betsy loses for some unknown reason
- a wedding (Excalibur)
- arm wrestling
- a drink off
- another short fight battle between Wolverine vs Summoner (and his momma).

The banquet was fun, but I expected the tournament to be crazy. Mutants and Arakkii's lives are at stake and yet it's just silly and lighthearted.

This is one of those times where comic writers should take notes cause tournament arcs in manga are superior. more

So much for a fight and it lats 2 pages. LOL

Man, Tony is really being put through his paces in this run.

I like the idea of Tony questioning why he’s a superhero in a world that doesn’t want his help.

Every time he tries to do the right thing it ends up blowing up in his face and in this issue we see him reaching his breaking point.

We get an exchange between Patsy and Tony which gives some detail as to why she acts the way she does and is so hard on Tony.

I have a several critiques with the last issue and the dialogue here could do with some tweaks but this one is my favourite so far.

Cool to see Korvac and his disciples cause trouble against Tony. If you’re a long time Shell head fan there’s several references to classic Iron Man villains which was neat. more

Art is really great here.
But the writing is all over the place

Let me start by saying: Ghost Maker has one of the coolest designs for a villain that I’ve seen in a long time and his characterisation is pretty good.

However, did Tynion forgot about Nobody?

- He serves the same role as another childhood vigilante Bruce knew in his younger training.

Babs questioning whether she works better as Batgirl or Oracle doesn't work because Batgirl # 50 which was released earlier showed she can do both just fine. As a result this just feels empty backtracking. more

Recap + filler.

The whole Thor/Donald Blake dynamic has always been weird to me.

Odin casting Thor to Earth to humble himself from being a arrogant battle loving warrior and becoming a humble kind doctor who saved lives was more compelling than the shadow retcon.

I don't know if I like Donald Blake being a villain but this arc seems interesting to say the least.

Filler. Only the last few pages have any significance.

Good to see MJ back looking great though

I love the Aero & Iron Man tag team.

Aero is a underrated series

Mike Murdock was a convoluted and dumb retcon. Worst issue by far by Chip Zdarsky

Marvel, stop touching established characters origins. You hear me? LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Man was this event disappointing.

I was enjoying this issue up until the reveal and the Extinction Entity Event was actually all in Arno's head. Slott did tie in plot points and allowed Mistress and Arsenal to give him his "happy ending" so I should be happy he's gone...but im not! They f****** added Tony's adoption retcon to introduce Arno, make me like him, turn him into a ass in Iron Man 2020, then redeem him before saying deuces. WTF!!

Jocasta manipulating Sunset Bain to confessing?! This is the android who was against controlling A.I. and wanted to have a human body, I guess that last part won't be mentioned again.

Carol tries to make peace with Tony after killing him... can writers STOP bringing up Civil War II since some of us want to forget it. This was the perfect opportunity to have her apologise after the amount hate Carol's received and you screwed it Slott so thanks.

Rhodey's PTSD being a flaw in his resurrection is a awful cop out, especially when we saw him recovering from it.

As for Arno Stark... what? For around 30 years isolated without human contact living bed-side to being put in a virtual simulation. Now one could argue this is a good thing since he gets to live happy spending time with his parents in a sense that missed out his entire life... except it's not real. This outcome in of itself feels cruel, inhuman and frustrating.
Despite Arno's paranoia, he was docile and wanted to save the world. At his core he was a good person.

Even as a avid shell head fan I have to give this a low rating because Iron Man 2020 was rushed, anti climactic, wasted potential. It's a shame because Slott's Tony Stark: Iron Man was solid until Iron Man 2020 more

It is implausible they have the chair that practically turns you into a god and they cannot against the most boring villain who is the son of the Joker and Batman as if there were nothing else. Really the Batman that Rie is the most foolish villain that has been created, they put so many far-fetched, surrealistic things that tire.
And this was definitely a plagiarism to Games of Thrones and Fast and Furious but worse, because there are no dragons, there is no action they just run, in a word boring. more

Finish Line cultivated everything Williamson had been building towards to give us a perfect conclusion to the eternal race between Barry & Thawne

It's a incredible feat Williamson managed to write Flash as long as he did. Its definitely one of the better titles to come out of Rebirth
