Some of the Secret Invasion books have suffered from poor art, some from bad plots, and some are just barely related to the main story. This book is just uninteresting.

Spinning out of a scene from Avengers The Initiative: Secret War, we see what happens to Rhodey when all of Starktech goes down during The Secret Invasion. He flies to space for a brief team up, and the story just keeps getting less land less interesting as it hits every Basic Marvel Story beat with the grace of a drunk stiltwalker falling down stairs. It's kind of impressive how bad this book is given the plot and the potential for Iron Man's besty to be an important part of The Secret Invasion.

I hope to never have any reason to read this again.

Over the top, ridiculous and tons of fun. Secret Invasion tie-ins usually felt like the writers didn't want to tell the story either, but Christos Gage had lots of fun with this one.
