True Believers: Iron Man 2020 - Jocasta #1 (re:view)

Welcome to a whole new adventure with... another dollar for your comic! This time it's bringing Avengers realness. Ultron having made work on members of the Avengers wants a new bridge for himself by transferring Janet Van Dyne's consciousness in his newly created being. It's not gonna be that easy as the Avengers have something to say about that. Let us dive in!

I've actually previously read this I believe in the Panini's UK Collectors' Edition of Avengers United. The story jumps straight into the deep end with members of the Avengers already been dispatched by Ultron. The whole comic was really easy to follow without having to know the backstories or what went on before the issue but it was simple enough to jump into it (even after having reading this so many years ago).

Interestingly enough this helps with the plot and essentially the philosophy of the man behind the machine but it's turned on its head with Ultron taking the wheels on Hank. It's also interesting that Hank creates evil but in turn, Ultron creates goodness.

The standout characters would probably be Janet and Jocasta (who is actually not named in the issue) as they recoil and plead with Hank to stop with the process of transferring Janet to the metallic body. The art styling is amazing as it intensifies and mellows in different colour variations which seems synonymous in how far the transferral process is.

Of course, there would not be an Avengers entrance without the team busting through the walls in high fashion slayage. Bring on Black Panther, Thor, Iron Man and Wonder Man.

Subscribe? Yes!

It'll be interesting to see the dynamic between Hank is the rest of the team while he's been brainwashed. Take me to that next level!
