The Story:

Tony Stark and Madame Masque have been playing a game of cat and mouse for years. But, knowing that he once told her his greatest fear, Tony is in a race against the clock to find her before that fear becomes a reality.

The Writing:

Joshua Williamson did such a phenomenal job setting up this story with the first issue, the concern was if he could continue the momentum in the second issue. Thankfully, not only did you maintain the momentum, he upped the ante! With incredible moments from Tony Stark, both in and out of the armor, Williamson proves he understands how to write such a complex character. This issue delved into Tony’s past while setting up his future in such an excellent way that it gave me a dose of nostalgia while keeping me on the edge of my seat, eagerly looking forward to what’s next.

The Art:

The art team worked so perfectly together in this issue. The line work of Carmen Carnero blended together with the colors of Nolan Woodard to give this issue a unique style while feeling familiar at the same time. Iron Man’s new armor looks fantastic in action and the character in the pool (no spoilers…) is something that I can never scrub from my memory, no matter how hard I try. Overall, just an absolute win from this art team!

Overall Grade: 10/10

What can I say? This was the perfect second issue. I am so excited for the trajectory of this series. Incredible art mixed with wonderful writing of my favorite character… Iron Man is back baby!
