Story
Shadowcat and Vision are inside a virtual reality from
Murderworld while Cyclops and Captain America are trying to capture a doombot
who caused all the Skrull accident at Latveria and hand him over to S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Good
I think the Shadowcat and Vision story had good potential to
be great but it fell flat because it was too short. Shadowcat and Vision had
good chemistry and good teamwork. It also had an interesting story that sort of
tied to Avengers Arena. So, they could have expanded more with that if it
wasn’t split up by this other really bad story. The art was pretty good
throughout the entire issue and it had great use of colors and action.
The Bad
The Cyclops and Captain America story didn’t progress to
anything better. It really ended in a bad note. There was no character
development between them. It just went back to square one with them bickering
and hating each other. So, they never get along and it felt unnecessary to tell
this story. The only good thing in this story was just the art and the
chemistry between Eva and Dr. Strange.
Verdict
I give this issue a 3/7 out of 5/10 stars. The Shadowcat and
Vision story had good story potential to tell a great story that could have
tied into Avengers Arena/Undercover. It could have been a great marketing
success if they would have just focus on that story. The Cyclops and Captain
America story was very tedious with no character development. I honestly don’t
understand why it needed to be told. It felt it was just there to run the
issues by. At least the art was good to look at in this issue. But for a final
issue I don’t see it worth picking up unless you are interested in that
Avengers Arena tie-in. It’s really sad to see this series go with only two good
issues in its entire run. It’s not even worth it for a trade. If they could
have just focus on making good team up stories that lasted every four issues,
it would have been a great series to pick up. Too bad it couldn’t live up to
be.
