Actually, the pacing may be a tad awkward but the writing and story idea itself was actually quite strong: Rhodey pit against a nation wide terrorist attack and there is no enemy to physically kick the crap out of, a tale indeed for the 21st century and its more terrorist-related fixation. The banter between Rhodey and his "romantic interest" Suzi Endo is fun and really brings out the character of Rhodey, who's not afraid to ask for help when he needs it--he's a practical guy in an increasingly complex world and Spencer delivers. Established characters like Iron Man (of course) and The Fantastic Four/Future Foundation guest star and lend a helping hand during the book's climax (Mr. Fantastic in particular) and seem well characterized. The only problem is that the characters that Spencer introduced for Rhodey's government team are simple and pretty much forgettable with the exception of Kaylie and she only sticks out due to figuring out how Addley was doing his thing and is promptly forgotten later, where we get to another minor problem: Spencer really could've used another issue to help add more resolution to the characters--as it is, the climax feels a tad rushed once the final boss makes himself known, but outside of another issue or two, I don't see a way Spencer could've gotten around it any better than he did and still deliver his complex story. All in all, Spencer did the best with what he had and pulled it off nicely all the while referencing continuity while not seeming out of place or forced--he's done his character research and applied it well.
The art is a tad inconsistent, as multiple artists were called upon for each issue so one artist may have done most of it and suddenly you turn the page and another artist did that portion, but it adds variety and helps liven up the book (I may not be a fan of Olivetti's work but the more I see it, the less it bothers me--it just seems too...realistic? Puppety?...at times, but otherwise it's fine. The action scenes look great and the suit looks cool no matter who draws it and even dialogue scenes seem interesting and dynamic as Rhodey struggles to deal with Addley's endgame.
So while it may not be the movie version of War Machine, it's a development for Rhodey's skill and technique with a solid supporting character and possible love interest Suzi Endo (man I wish Spencer had another issue or two to cement the romantic resolution after bantering about it for the whole series) and a fresh take on what many seem to write off as merely a killer Iron Man knock off. All in all, it's well worth any Rhodey fan's time or Iron Man fan in general.
