WAR MACHINE #22

(Jan., 1996) "The Last Stand." Cover art: Sergio Cariello. Script: Dan Abnett. Art: Fred Haynes, Yancy Labat/Johnny Greene, Jimmy Palmiotti. 

 It's War Machine vs. Iron Man as the Crossing rolls on! Very nice battle sequences don't disappoint, even though Haynes' art is too cartoony. Labat does a better job, especially his sexy Cybermancer (who takes on Force Works' Century). It looks as if Jim could indeed take Iron Man, but his friendship with Tony Stark keeps him holding back, thus he loses! IM jets off to an unknown location while Force Works pops in just as Jim is recovering from the battle.

Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 Variable Threat Response Battle Suits!
