Scott's Take: Captain America/Iron Man: The Armor & The Shield by Derek Landy

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.
