Covers are weird sometimes. Last time we had Iron Man and Ironheart fighting on the cover, but no such fight took place in the issue. This issue, we actually do have Iron Man and War Machine fighting another armored character, but they don’t advertise the fight on the cover. Instead they opt for this “split face” design. It’s a little strange, is all I’m saying.

Duggan does a nice job making the stakes personal in this issue. Last issue, I said I was waiting for business to pick up. It feels like that happened this time.

That cover is a flat-out lie. A beautifully drawn and colored lie, but a lie nonetheless. Ironheart is in this issue. But she and Tony do not, in fact, go “one-on-one.”

Naturally, the plot thickens in this issue in regard to the plot to kill Tony Stark. I can’t say I was particularly moved one way or the other on this one. Much like issue #1, issue #2 was just sort of…there. I’m waiting for business to pick up.

This issue is something of an oddity for me, in that I’m a fan of the handle Gerry Duggan and the artists respectfully have on the Iron Man character and his world. I also like the framing device Duggan is using, i.e. Tony Stark writing his autobiography.

But somehow, the story just didn’t hook me. It didn’t turn me off, and I’ll likely still come back to check out issue #2. But I’m not dying to see what happens next. It’s more like I have a passing interest in seeing what happens next.
