[Teal · Rating 3 out of 5]

With nice setup for a showdown with one of Shellhead's lamer villains and a mediocre trap from the Red Skull, this issue is forgettable but not offensively so. The fake Bucky revival is handled as well a fake Bucky revival could be and it's nice to see what Tony Stark gets up to when he isn't Iron Man-ing. All that said, I wouldn't recommend reading this unless you had literally nothing to do with 20 minutes of your life.
