It does feature Ironheart, the teen prodigy who's taken the spotlight in this series while Tony Stark has been in a coma.
But the focus is actually on The Infamous Iron Man (the newly reformed Victor Von Doom) as his heroic actions have spawned a new raft of enemies - and they're out for revenge.
The general feeling is that writer Brian Michael Bendis is wrapping up the story threads he's been weaving for the last year or so - and that's a good thing.
It also dovetails nicely into the Legacy concept, which promises to restore the original heroes to prominence.
The art chores are divided by Stefano Caselli (who handles the Ironheart segments) and Alex Maleev, who covers the Dr. Doom part of our program. Both are excellent, though their styles are very different.
The series continues to build nicely, and as much as I enjoy Ironheart's adventures, I'd like to see more of the original hero in these pages. (It's been his comic for quite a while, after all.) Hopefully that's just around the corner.
