Jetfire doesnt really have a history of success, does he? Captured by Buster Witwicky, then gored by Slag, then shot down by the Decepticons as soon as he arrives. I don't think its going to get any better than this for him, mind.

This is just on the border for me as a good book; it's got a very interesting premise that it uses to good effect. At the same time, there are some characters that seem to be off model, either a lot or at least some of the time. It's certainly rougher than most of the JLA stuff I've been reading.

Kaminski's run on the armoured Avenger starts out strong with the "death" of Tony Stark (wisely, the writer doesn't ever try to kid his audience that this is for real), leading longtime sidekick Rhodey to take up the mantle of Iron Man in the newly created (and very 90s - i.e. more guns that logic) War Machine armour. Sadly the plot devolves midway into a series of dull shoot-'em-ups and the early promise is squandered. Typical 90s Marvel then - thank god they've left this sort of nonsense show more behind. show less
