I understand what Tony's trying to do this issue, but . . if he succeeds, is there a future for himself, or Iron Man? Basically, he tells Maria Hill and Pepper Potts that all the information he's trying to keep away from Norman Osborne . . . still exists, in his head. Somehow with the connection to the Iron Man armor, the Extremis, he basically turned his brain into a living computer. "There's all kinds of stuff on that hard-drive that Norman Osborne wants. Or would want, if he knew it existed. Howtos for the Iron Man, for Extremis, for Repulsor tech . . . every file Stark Industries ever digitized, dating back to my father's patents. The personnel files for every SHIELD agent, regardless of their cover, since the agency's inception . . the superhuman registration database is the tip of the iceberg." So, in order to stop Norman, he's going to erase it. He's going to erase it all. Essentially . . he's going to erase his brain. Maria and Pepper are both loyal to Tony, but . . I'm not sure what they can do now. Maria tries to go back to her apartment when she's abducted by the Thunderbolts. They don't have any intention of capturing her. They want her dead. And Pepper? With Tony out of the picture, Pepper in now in charge of Stark Industries. For all the good that'll do her. The issue ends with Maria getting away from the Thunderbolts and coming back to Tony. And Pepper is in the Stark offices signing all the necessary paperwork. So . . where are these 3 going to go from here? I'm really enjoying Matt Fraction's writing on this series. It's fresh and inventive. It seems to me now that he's taking Tony, and Stark industries, back to basics where they can start over again. I can't wait to see where he takes them from here. And, as always, I love Salvador Larroca's art. This is turning out to be a pretty good series. I'm glad I took the chance with it.
