2020 Force Works #1

I'm not really impressed by the amalgamation of old title and characters trying to intregrate with a Next Big Event story. With the events of this year's AI uprising event in it's beginning stages, Matthew Rosenberg and Juanan Ramirez have been charged with merging Daisy from the Agents of SHIELD with War Machine from the comics, US Agent (the Captain America who's a jerk), and Hawkeye's former wife Mockingbird. Unfortunately, none of these characters have much pizazz and are all rather unlikeable. Now, pit them against a jungle full of Deathloks (the original Deathlok was cool, a jungle full of them has a certain Walking Dead feel to them) is just ridiculous. Which the writer seems to realise as the team is almost immediately overwhelmed and defeated. Even cameos by Solo and Gauntlet can't seem to help but they are smart enough to get wounded within a page or two and quit the team. Nothing here to get your hooks into.
