My opinion on this issue was that it was Machlan's worst inking effort. Now that I notice the credits (writer-artists-inker), though, I wonder whether John only provided breakdowns and not full pencils.

As I recall, the issue was full pencils. That credit was probably because there were so many large black areas that I indicated with Xs, rather than filling them in. Lot of work for Mike!Incidentally, this is the issue in which I originally thought about drawing Wanda naked, leaving it for Mike to black in, so that Howard would have a stroke when he saw the pencils. But sanity prevailed, as I remembered how infested with moles Marvel was, and realized that xeroxes of "naked Wanda" would be in every fanzine in the world before lunchtime the day the pencils came in.

Dang!
What a What If...! that would have made!
I always remember the WCA as having lousy printing...and it was maybe this that made me dislike the Machlan inked issues. I certainly thought he started well and seemed to lose the way a little.
I really liked this issue to see a JB-drawn Cap and She-Hulk again.

I recall going back to te front cover of this issue, once having finished looking at the interiors, thinking "This is what the art -should- look like on the inside!"
I was incredibly dissappointed by the inks.
But I got my wish (JB inking himself) on the very next issue...memory serving.

Still one of the coolest properties of Cap's shield. And hardly anyone plays to that at all. I always go back to that bit when thinking about how cool the shield really is.

Machlan did seem to change his style of inking on the book. He started kinda soft and ended up almost like a crisp Sinnott. I much prefer the first 2 or 3 issues to his latter issues on the title.

The inks were bad and no where was it more obvious than on The Vision in the upper right panel on page 13. Looking at the cover makes me sad. I like the copy on the cover that hints at what's inside. Comics are too "sophisticated" to do that now, and the books ship too late for the covers to ever match what's inside.

I haven't had a chance to reread the whole issue, but was it established that She-Hulk and Cap know that the building she jumped into was empty of people? It seems a bit reckless for Cap to approve, since there could have been people working there that could have been hurt.
Overall, I didn't enjoy the premise of this story. It seemed incongruent with the Marvel Universe as established. I also felt like it was marking time to give the subplots a chance to simmer.
The inks didn't bother me as much as some of you. Although not what we had previously gotten, it was still a good-looking book.

My least favourite panel personally is the one with Wanda and her mouth open in the tank.
No doubt it's the bad inking, but the prespective on her face looks really off to me there, and JB is just too damn good at drawing Wanj to to that.

Page 5 - looks like a completely different inker. Perhaps it's the printing?
Page 7 - JB draws (very cool) quadrupeds!
