Iron Man is still in a catatonic state and only with the help of Doctor Strange can he assume his identity in the world he created in his mind and emerge outside. But elsewhere, the Ghost is actively looking for his body and some of Toby Stark’s closest allies have already begun to fall. Will Iron Man come back in time? The issue continues the unnecessary detour inside of Iron Man’s mind. I understand that some filler was needed to make the hero’s return match the Siege storyline running elsewhere, but this is a stretch and as a reader, I know what will happen and when. The question is when will the creative team put it all together before we all lose interest. Visually Larroca continues to pen the best looking Iron Man in years, although his talent is wasted on this trivial story.
Rating: 7.5/10
