3.0

I thought this was decent. Kind of like the first volume but a little less balanced. This time we have Rhody on a mission for Tony in Japan. Shit goes bad, magical samurai women attack, Tony asks Peter Parker for help, and off we go on a new adventure.

What I liked: Peter and Tony together is great. Hearing snarky comments back and forth is always a pleasure in my opinion. I also thought the moments with Rhody were pretty cool and watching him handle himself without the Warmachine armor was good. He is a badass and people forget that. I also thought the art was pretty solid throughout. I also liked Riri.

What I didn't like: Sometimes the faces are hard to tell who is who. I also didn't like the MJ and Tony dialog, felt forced. Also the Rhody and Tony love bromance felt forced as well because of what's about to happen with Civil War. Also the "villain" was quickly forgotten after I finished this volume. Oh and as much as I like Riri and Doom I feel like a lot of time was spent setting up their own comics in here.

Around a 2.5 but I'll bump it to a 3 just because I didn't find anything offensively bad. I still don't like Tony much but I don't mind him with a good supporting cast.
