The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Punchy]

It was great to see Henry Hellrung again, I miss The Order! Overall this issue continued to fuck up Tony Stark’s life, and it’s very exciting to see him so on the run. You also have to remember that Tony doesn’t even really know why this is happening to him, he has no idea that the Mandarin is back and behind all of this, when he finds out… it’s going the explosive. I really liked the scenes set in the Mandarin’s compound, where Fraction shows us that it’s not one big happy family. Blizzard and Living Laser are worried about the bombs in their chests and are planning a possible insurrection, and there are even bigger tensions between Mandarin and Ezekiel Stane. Fraction always has loads of subplots bubbling under in this book and it’ll be great when it all comes to a head. I know some people have gone off this book because it slowed down after Heroic Age, but it’s still a damn good comic and whilst not every issue has something momentous happen in it, you know it will all pay off.

Feels like World's Most Wanted II.

but it's got the Mandarin so I'll let it slide.
