I'm really enjoying the way that Matt Fraction is playing this whole story out. It would've been easy for him to stretch this across a 3 or 4 issue story-arc, and then wrap it up. But . . Matt's chosen to let things play themselves out. So with that . . we're on part 9 of this World's Most Wanted storyline. I think it's turned into one heck of a story-arc. Last issue Madame Masque, Whitney, came to Russia for Norman, is search of Tony. By the time she got there, Pepper was already there and coming to Tony's aid. I think this picture of Tony's female assistant, his protege, coming to his aid stirred up the feelings she had in her own heart for him. Which sent her over the edge. She basically dropped her mission and took Tony and Pepper as captives so that she could plead her love for him and beg him to reciprocate. The hero of this story is actually Pepper's armor, JARVIS, which she's named Rescue. You know . . like the dog. Anyways, Rescue has helped turn the tables, which allows Tony to don his armor and head off to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, that's left Pepper in Whitney's hands . . mano-e-mano, if you will. Before he leaves, Pepper tells Tony she's up for it. "You've been training me for this for a long time now, and I'm telling you . . I'm ready. After all the times you've saved my life over the years . . Tony, please . . let me save yours." Back in New York City, Maria Hill has begged Natasha to help her finish her mission with this hard-drive. She feels violated, and is having a hard time shaking the effects of the Controller. However, this issue, Natasha may have put that mission in jeopardy. She's intrigued by what Maria has . . the hard-drive, but before she's willing to put Cap or anybody else in danger because of it, she wants to know what it contains that's so important. So she goes to a local dealer of things hi-tech to ask him if he might know what it is. As she's leaving, he's contacting somebody who wants to know whenever someone came looking for anything related to Stark, or Stark technology. All in all, I think it's a great book. Matt's writing a very detailed and suspensful story, and Salvador Larroca's art is spot on. As usual. I can't wait to see where this story takes us.
