Story: Stark Resilient
launches The Swarm. Pepper chases the new Iron Man through Seattle.
Mandarin readies his Titanomechs. Tony tries to make some friends.
Jarvis goes nuts.
Review: I haven't been
reading this title for long and, to be honest, I've found it a little
hard to get into but that could be the movies colouring my judgement
(I love the movies). Fraction's writing is excellent as ever and
Larroca's art is top-notch as ever – especially the titanomechs. I
just have one tiny niggle: Pepper's immediate conclusion that the new
Iron Man is Rhodey because his foot is black. As Wyche rightly points
out “What, there's only one African-American man qualified to pilot
the Iron Man so it's got to be Rhodey, who you saw die? Yeah, that's
not racist at all.”
Conclusion: A solid
issue. Worth a read but it's probably best if you start from #521.
