Doctor Strange comes to the rescue of Tony Stark whose body has been reactivated but whose mind is still missing in some world where he fight giant robots similar to those in the Matrix. Elsewhere, the Ghost has made his appearance and menaces to shut down the equipment that’s keeping Tony Stark alive. Will he succeed?

The story is not bad at all and I like all the internal monologues and debates in Tony Stark’s entourage. However, just like the Captain America reborn story, at this point, the story is a set of motion that will bring back Tony Stark to life. We know how it will end. The writer is just extending the story past its due date instead of just bringing back Iron Man. I’m not sure I care about the details anymore and this series which was once breathtaking is starting to lag a lot. I hope they can infuse it with new energy instead on relying on old techniques to tell a story about a comic book character.

Again Larroca is a solid artist that just works well and deliver results. The execution of this story visually is perfect, although the material the artist is given is not as interesting.

Rating: 7 /10
