The premise is ridiculous, and it makes no sense in the context of the Marvel Universe. The plot requires several huge leaps in logic, as far as established characterization is concerned, in order to work. And the art falls short in that several of the main characters look far too much alike (when seen without their distinctive, colorful costumes). Mega Morphs is a weak effort in many respects, and that really comes as no surprise when one considers that this is primarily a toy-marketing tool as opposed to an effort to tell a compelling story. But there's a charming innocence to the premise and script that puts one in mind of what it was like to read comics as a kid and play with one's toys.
Tony Stark has developed a new line of defence in case further cosmic-level threats endanger the planet. He's developed a number of gigantic suits of armor, all fashioned after Iron Man's colleagues in the super-hero community and designed to be piloted by those same heroes. As Stark and Spider-Man put the Spider-Robot through its paces, a crisis arises -- the Hulk steals his "armor" and uses it to break a super-villain out of jail. As Spidey tries to subdue the Hulk-Robot in his giant armor, Stark goes looking for backup.
Kang's art is capable overall, and the manga influence in his work suits the giant-robot riff quite well. Where the art lets the reader down is with the portrayal of the human faces of the heroes. Bruce Banner looks too much like Peter Parker. Tony Stark looks the same, only with a beard. I do like that the robots don't look too slick, but then I would imagine the artist is following a style guide pretty closely. These are, after all, based on an upcoming toy line. I would imagine the comic-book versions are meant to look pretty much the same.
It makes no sense that Stark would design a giant robot based on Ghost Rider. It makes no sense that the Hulk-Smash Hulk would be able to steal a piece of technology such as his suit, even if directed by an outside force. A lot of the elements in this plot make no sense, but like the artist, writer Sean McKeever is no doubt shackled by severe limitations when it comes to this story. Now, I can only assume all the giant hero robots in this story will have corresponding toy versions, which leads me to this question: why the the toy's designers think it would be appropriate for little kids to be playing with a Ghost Rider robot? Flaming skull? Demonic origins? It's not like there was a shortage of other Marvel characters to incorporate into the line in his stead.
The crudity and simplicity of the story and concepts here is as much a strength as it is a weakness. This is clearly aimed at a much less sophisticated crowd, and that's a great idea. Kids' comics need not be all-ages comics, and McKeever recognizes that. This need not make sense. It need not fit into Marvel continuity. It need only entertain its target demographic, and the flashiness of the art and the energy in the dialogue should succeed in achieving that goal. 5/10
