ryonslaught's Iron Patriot #1 - Unbreakable, Part I review

    Avatar image for ryonslaught

    Dull and boring

    The Good

    Family- I enjoyed the moments between James, his father and his niece.

    Black Hero- James Rhodes is back in the saddle but this time as the Iron Patriot.

    New Mission- James is no longer on kill missions but is now a symbol of American peace. That’s cool I guess.

    Opening- The best part of the entire issue was the foreshadowing that James Rhodes will have a close to death situation involving an enemy in a power suit. It set a dark and somber mood in the first few pages.

    The Bad

    Cover- Not feeling it on any level, if my supplier hadn’t suggested I try this book the cover alone would have sent me to the hills and away from this issue.

    Art- Biggest problem has to be how young James Rhodes appeared throughout the issue. I don’t get this recent trend at marvel. First it was New Warriors 2014 and now Iron Patriot.

    Boring- While the opening was great everything else was just plain dull and lifeless on every possible level.

    The Ugly

    I was eager to read this issue since its release had received no fan fare whatsoever and I was curious why. Having read the entire thing I must say it’s terribly dull on every possible level. Will I stick around? Hard to tell at this point, if things don’t pick up in the next four or five issues and in a major way I won’t be sticking around. This issue gets 2/5 stars

      Iron Man and War Machine, now he down dons a new Red, White, and Blue suit as the Iron Patriot. I give the writers two thumbs up on my Hero's new series; I hope it's long than his previous series. Once and again, Rhodey will prove himself to others as a hero of military background but also to a Superhero level. I believed in War Machine, now I'm going to believe in Iron Patriot. I have hope that this series will be interesting. I hope that we see more of the characters develop out more into thi...

      Disappointingly Bland 0

      James Rhodes is certainly my preferred choice when mulling over the two heroes covered in armor suits in the Marvel line-up. Yet, we hardly get to see him beyond the occasional series that doesn't last long. And, sadly, this series doesn't live up to the hopes I believe many had for it.This book focuses on two major components of James' life; patriotism and family. Starting with the latter, we see a lot of interaction between him and his father and niece, presented as primary players in this nar...
