Captain America/Iron Man: The
Armor & The Shield by Derek Landy is a miniseries where Captain
America (Steve) and Iron Man team up to catch a S.H.I. E.L.D. agent turned
traitor. The agent was supposed to go undercover with HYDRA, not actually join
them. The agent has now escaped on the way to prison so they team up to catch the
agent.
Full of action, humor, and great
character work, this is a fun read. The art is very good. Everything I have
read by Derek Landy I have liked and this is the case again. It is a fun and pretty
self-contained miniseries. Minimal references are made to how both Captain
America and Iron Man have undergone extreme life changes during this time
period. Iron man died and came back as a synthetic life form and Captain
America was replaced by an evil version of himself who took over the world
until the good version was freed and defeated his evil version. Comics can get
very weird.
I highly recommend this fun title.
My reading copy by way of the Hoopla App
and the Dallas Public Library System.
