4.0
Another hard GN to rate.
I loved the first half of this where, to be fair, not a lot of actual plot happened. But the artwork was excellent, the banter was sharp, and Tony Stark was actually a likeable character (great seeing him out of his depth with pretty much everything, and being razzed by a talking raccoon).
The issue 10 happened and the artwork went to shit; sketchy, limited colour palate, and just horrible. I can't get any enjoyment out of that style of artwork. And the story plunged us into the middle of Infinity and then straight out the other side without really knowing what was going on.
The final issue in the collection improved slightly in art style, but I didn't like the story. Way too much focus on Gamora and Angela; both characters with absolutely no sense of humour.
The four stars are for the first half of the GN. If it had all been like the last 3 issues I'd have been 2 starring this.
