Reading this, I can't say I didn't enjoy it, but I really was aware of the loss of Deathlok's creator, Rich Buckler, and the bizarre world he'd created to surround the Demolisher.

Overall, this did was Marvel does: the original simply doesn't work for us anymore, so let's retcon the whole damn thing to bring it closer in line with the rest of the 616 universe...even if it waters down most of what made it so damn good in the first place.

For all of that, it was entertaining. Unfortunately, it felt more like a meal from McD's than being served something from that weird funky restaurant down on the corner with all the interesting clientele and strange atmosphere. ( )
