Some thoughts about Iron Patriot #1

James Rhodes is a true patriot.

He has served his nation no matter how and under different identities, being either Iron Man, War Machine and now currently Iron Patriot, he's decided to protect his country, but there might be more important concerns for him, namely his own family.

The first issue handled by Ales Kot, does he succeeds at justifying James Rhodes' new identity as the Iron Patriot.

Not really, then again, it's not really necessary.

Kot present us here a man willing to serve his country by any means and gives enoughd etails about his backstory without dwelling too much into it. The family dynamics that Kot introduce here feel pretty real including the portrayal of both James' father and niece, the way how it integrates into the main story is interesting too.

There are also some sub-plots that will most likely play important role in the future, Kot gives us a nice mystery and one that it's intriguing so far.

Garry Brown handles the art from this issue and he's work is quite appropiate for this kind of series, it has a semi-realistic and expressive style at the same time that allow to sell the tone of the script.

Promising issue definitely, I think this is the best I have read from Kot so far.
