Tony Stark Dupe's Profile

And 9.5 for the series.

It's better than last issue. It was fast paced - a little too fast for the art to catch up with it. The homage to Murder on The Orient Express is fair - not sure how BC's cry didn't damage the train or the (intriguing) Trans-Pacific tube that would have been a lot more 'murders'. Odd that they both seemed to leave Diggle hanging too. It was a nice surprise to see Eddie back but discouraging that he's been relugated to evil assassin.

I more or less agree with Tree Fingers Nov 9, 2016 comments. This would sincerely get at least a full mark higher if it wasn't launched under the IRON MAN title and instead was IRONHEART. It's that much of a turn off in spite of the decent premiere. Even considered giving a lower rating just in protest. The Letters Page excuse (read:explanation) for it is just a fail, IMO.

This was a 20-page dialogue reiteration of recently revealed retcons to smooth out the Handbook magical history of Wanda - just short of "confirming" her inhuman vs mutant DNA.

Factoring in the precog powers of Heimdal to this event is a fine concept to factor into this related Event - but TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. An ongoing gimmick cover, essentially a 20pg flashback of -ironically- different Avengers team, and a annoyingly forced Dr.Doom retcon all contributed to making this a sorry final issue.

The very good art and overdue revisting of Goblin Queen almost deserves a higher rating. But the content of the battle and motivation of GQ just weren't satisfying enough. Should be 2.99 and not 3.99!

The cover is perfect but not so much inside. Considering how top grade and engaging the setup issues have been, this conclusion felt terribly messy. Rushed wrapup and weaker art than before.The only high was seeing it saying -if not so much showing- how much GA and BC are clicking together.

A decent arc that ends "flatly" to quote R.Hemingway's review. Too much angularity to the art and too much of her newly pushed Brooklyn accent to process thru. Not enough witty superhero cosplay or Arkham injokes.

My strong distaste for last issue has tainted my reception of this chapter somewhat.
