Marvel Legends #5 Review
Firstly, sorry I got it wrong. The Iron Man and Thor stories conclude next issue, not this one. Now I got that out of the way...the review:
Captain America #5 - this issue was told almost primarily via flashbacks. The premise is we would see the beginnings of Alexsander Lukin and his campaign against Cap. We do, but not much else is revealed. The issue basically sees Cap and the Invaders help the Russian resistance against the Nazis. It also points out why Lukin hates Red Skull. It's a good issue, with a change of art by Daredevil artist Michael Lark though more progression could have been offered of the main story. Otherwise 8/10.
Iron Man - better than previous efforts, and actually quite enjoyable. Less unecessary dialogue and everything pretty much made sense. A change of regular artists from Chen to Martinez is not as polished but does the job well. 7/10
Thor: Bloodoath #5 - this was a fun issue as always, with a bit of a Deus Ex Machina device integrated as an apple - that must be a first. The art is beautiful as always, accompanied by the brilliant colours. 8/10
Overall 8/10.

Out Tomorrow: Marvel Legends #5
Issue 5 hits shelves tomorrow with Captain America's ongoing conituining, plus the final parts of Thor: Bloodoath and Iron Man: Mask in the Iron Man. Not a big fan of Iron Man's story but this is one of the strongest CEs.
