Loose tie-ins to the robot revolution story. Two feature characters whose links to the Iron Man mythos mean you can hardly leave them out – Riri Williams, sometime Iron Man and subsequently Ironheart; and Pepper Potts, AKA Rescue. The third, most tenuous of the lot, features Albert the robot Wolverine double and his robot kid sidekick Elsie-Dee, detritus of some long-ago storyline and exactly the sort of batshit idea for which I love sprawling superhero universes. I don't mind the utter superflu...
It was kind of fun getting to revisit Albert and Elsie with Larry Hama, but I forgot how annoying Elsie Dee's word balloons can get with prolonged exposure.Nothing in here is worth writing home about.
you can completely skip this collection and not miss anything of the overriding story. The Rescue issues are not totally useless, but the iWolverine story is an embarrassment and I wish I had just skipped them.
When only the Rescue story was worth reading I think three stars is being generous. Honestly the whole Robot Revolution story was a bit of a let down.
A collection of completely superfluous tie in books. The book closest to being part of the story is Rescue 2020. Pepper Potts goes to collect the DNA of Tony Stark's parents in order to bring Tony back to life. Yeah, it doesn't make a lick of sense how this would work. It doesn't matter anyway, because after she gets it, they don't use the DNA anyway.Ironheart 2020 is more of an Outlawed tie in than a Iron Man 2020 one. She whines the whole time about how she can no longer legally be a hero. She...
This book collects three two-part stories, featuring Ironheart, Rescue and Albert and Elsie-Dee respectively. To take them one at a time:The Rescue story is the best of the bunch here and the only one in this collection that you really need to read as regards the overarching ‘Iron Man 2020’ storyline. It’s an OK story with OK artwork. 3 stars across the board.The Ironheart story is also an OK story with OK artwork but I didn’t like the fact that it’s not only an ‘Iron Man 2020’ tie-in but ALSO a...
The Good: Rescue 2020: it was so nice to read a "family friendly" comic book illustrated by Jacen Burrows instead of the usual disturbing gore-fest for a time... type artist name/crossed/providence on Google or another web search engine and look for yourself if you dare.IWolverine 2020: i loved a lot Larry Hama's 90s run on Wolverine and his new story included here starring Albert, Elsie-Dee and the Reavers, was a blast of an hilarious read for me. The Bad: Ironheart 2020: n
Considerably better than the main event title Iron Man 2020: Robot Revolution, only 1/3 of the content here is the story of Albert and Elsie Dee in Madripoor which was a fun throwback but the other 2 mini-arcs involving Rescue and Ironheart were actually much more interesting. I guess Terminator Wolverine gets the cover and title, though, because $ales.Here's a taste of what's inside:I'm glad the event has been somewhat redeemed for me by these side-tales, now on to Iron Man 2020: Robot Revoluti...
I expected more when I read iWolverine title.:(But the Rescue part was good
Excepto las historia de pepper, me sobra todo. Que algo ocurra a la vez que iron man 2020 no quiere decir que tenga que ver con iron man 2020. Y además las historias de IronHeart y iWolverine son bastante mediocres. Se salva por la historia de Rescue que ha conseguido que en dos números conecte con el personaje.
The escape from Madripoor was fun and the infiltration of a Hydra base was amusing.
More background of the 2020 Robot Revolution - We get a Japanese revenge story about the Robot Wolverine, Albert, with dependable quest elements and big action displays, a story about Pepper Potts in the Rescue armor - which needed more depth or needs to be explored better in a later story. The Ironheart story here is by far my favorite; she has an AI in her life that emulates her deceased friend, and who hasn't wished for that? Don't answer that. That gives her a very profound connection to the...
Only read this if you're a completist in the 'Iron Man 2020: Robot Revolution' storyline. This collection contains side stories on Rescue and Ironheart that don't really advance the main story, but give you placement of characters usually referenced in the main title.Why they needed to ressurect these characters from 90's Wolverine issues, I don't know. They don't really have much of a place in current continuity. Maybe just dusted off because they're artificial intelligence...Bonus:Pierce Alber...
I liked the Wolverine story. A Hama return to do it right was a nice touch. The Ironheart story was pretty bad. Post-Bendis Riri isn't very good. As part of the Iron Man 2020 overarching story...the connection is pretty loose. The relevance is non-existent. Hamfisted comes to mind.
Ironheart is the more intriguing and best written character here. Rescue 2nd. iWolverine, he of the title, is pretty dumb.
