So if you've been reading the Director of Shield title you know that the past two issues have been following Jim Rhodes during the Skrull Invasion. Now, we knew Rhodey was gravely injured at some point and has cybernetic enhancements, but we didnt know to what extent until the latest issue.
In the final page we see Rhodey lying on a Skrull operating table, them ready to dissect him to find how his flesh works with the bionics. Unfortunately, we discover the extent of the damage. The only thing that appears to be left of Jim is half of his face and his torso; his arms and legs being fully bionic.
Ugh.
I cant tell you how much i despise this direction. Honestly, what possible good could come with this? If its a means to try and create the tension between Stark and Rhodes (which for some reason Marvel thinks is what IM fans like, instead of wanting them to be friends full time like they actually do), than it's a pathetic attempt.
I'm hoping that sometime in the very nearly future Rhodes is restored to his normal self, and no more of this Rhodey-nator crap. It's almost like Deathlock gets an Iron Man armor.
It doesnt make the character more interesting. It doesnt make him neater. This I would say is even worse than Extremis because extremis can just be purged. How exactly is Rhodes going to get all his limbs back?
Terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
Way to screw the pooch again Marvel.
