I'm impressed by the level of storytelling and liked seeing Rhodey take the lead.
I'm deducting a star because Tony's plot just languishes. I'm all about his fall from grace but felt like it was too present in the story not to have any developments.
We discussed this further in a special episode of Comic Book Coffee Break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvNw_IkNSIE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2rnwzGlIFyk6Spd_QpVV-HljfYWwLxFYjvOZOyFhiRkXmFlHKlAmu-tAc

This is a bit of a strange collection. For one thing, it ends right in the middle of Tony Stark's second drinking arc. So, that's a bit jarring and it feels incomplete.
The writing lacks Michelinie's art. He had such a wonderful way with words and the dialogue seemed a lot more natural. There are several melodramatic lines in this collection that read as though the author intended them to be said before a dramatic pause. It was unintentionally humorous.
But, the action scenes are pretty well done. The bulk of this collection is Rhodey's first days covering as Iron Man. There are some really great moments about his doubts and his guilt over enjoying his time in the armor when he knows he's only being given this opportunity because Tony is out of commission. So, it's a tentative recommend. At least part of it is.
