Here we reach the finish of a darn good series called "World's Most Wanted," as Tony finally reaches the end of the line.He's been on the run since the beginning of the Dark Reign, trying to stay out of the reach of Norman Osborn and H.A.M.M.E.R. (hilariously, they still haven't told us what those letters stand for).
With this issue, the Invincible Iron Man faces his final confrontation with Osborn (the Iron Patriot), and it's a fight he may not walk away from.
The series has worked on many different levels. At its most basic, it's been fun to watch Iron Man face off against an assortment of opponents, using most of his former armored incarnations in the process.
It's been tragic to watch as Tony Stark's mind has slipped away, since it's his genius that's his only real superpower. It's also taken away his personality, and it's been tough to watch him break apart piece by piece.
So the question that remains is, how can the pieces be brought back together? We'll have to wait 'til next month for the answer to that (though we have some delicious hints this time around).
As always, fantastic writing by Matt Fraction, and equally amazing art from Salvador Larroca. We can only hope this team stays on this book for a good long time - Iron Man has rarely been better.
Grade: A-
