This issue almost wraps up the World's Most Wanted storyline. Last issue we saw Tony climb into one of his very first models of the Iron Man armor and begin his trek for Dubai. Unfortunately, he no longer possess' the mental acuity to shield himself from radar. Basically . . he's making a mad dash. Luckily, there's still some HAMMER agents that are sympathetic to his cause. They liked their jobs better when they worked for SHIELD. It ends up, the one feeding Norman Osborn Tony's trajectory is one of them. When Pepper had to reveal herself to Maria Hill and Natasha, JARVIS, her Iron Man gear, also came on line. It sent a virus into all of the Stark-gear inside the HAMMER base, so for the time being the technician can honestly tell Norman that they're having system issues. Unfortunately he's soon found out by his boss. He did give Tony a little breathing room. So it takes Norman about a 1/2 hour to catch up to him in the Pakistan desert. By that time Tony's mind is almost completely gone, and JARVIS also took the luxury of sending the coordinates of the fight to every news-feed in the country. It isn't long before the people in the Dubai newsroom have choppers all over the scene and the have pictures of the Iron Patriot beating up the defenseless Tony Stark. So in Tony's eyes . . he's won. Meanwhile, Maria, Natasha and Pepper are trying to retrieve the hard-drive that Tony had Maria get for him. In the end, Tony is aboard the HAMMER helicarrier and he's basically in a vegetative state. However, the carrier acts as an embassy and therefore has to follow US laws. Tony has a living will that says that only his doctor is allowed to pull the plug on him. And his doctor? Doctor Donald Blake. When Norman makes the call, all the ladies and Cap are there to help Dr Blake with what he has to do. I'm guessing, this hard-drive is somehow Tony's means of returning to the land of the living. Or at least kick-starting his brain. I'm guessing it's his personal back-up. Matt Fraction has been doing a terrific job with this book. Although I'm glad that this story-line is nearing it's end. It's been going on for over a year now. It's been intriguing, but . . come on . . let's move on to something else. Let's get Tony back on-line, and get Iron Man acting like, well . . Iron Man. I hate to see Norman in his Iron Patriot outfit. It makes my skin crawl. Anyways, another fantastic work of art by Salvador Larocca. I can't wait to see how this all wraps up.
