Iron Cat #5

By: Jed MacKay, Pere Perez
Released: Oct 26, 2022

Tony Stark's legacy is being set on fire by Sunset Bain. She's corrupted all of his armor and everything he's built since his very first weapon. And it's all Black Cat's fault. Now, Iron Man and Felicia Hardy (in her own Iron Cat armor) are fighting for their lives against the Hulkbuster armor and every other Iron Man armor in existence. This is no...

this would have been better if we didnt get spoiled for Zeb Wells ending. And while Kaine was the standout, it was just forgettable for me that did nto have any lasting impact. Steve Foxe was clearly trying to improve Ben here and I think he succeeded in making it clear we are not getting any more mine control shenanigans but I think it should have ended with Ben and Kaine beating up the monsters more

I think what makes this series strange for me personally is how the plot isn't that focused and it is a bit confusing.

this was a really good issue that fleshes out Peter Parker on his inexperience, and his relationship with Mary Jane on when Peter will tell MJ to tell her to freak out. I also like the small moments between PEter and Ben.

It was nice. It's great seeing bombastic fights, but sometimes you need time to slow down and breathe a little bit before things pick right back up again.

I honestly the think the Batman and Robin dynamic has completely trounced World's Finest. The Batman Superman dynamic is quiet and respectful. As such, there isn't a lot for readers to latch on to or be passionate about. The Batman and Robin dynamic is so wholesome it will carry this entire series.
