This issue we get to see how Tony's master plan all comes together. Also . . Captain America shows up. Now that he's back, he's going to be in a whole lot of books . . apparently. Anyways, the whole plan rests on the repulsor unit Tony installed in Pepper's chest. Donald Blake is going to remove it from her and install it in Tony. From there he's going to be hooked up to the hard drive that Maria retrieved for him. Back when he fought Extremis Tony had to make some upgrades, so, in his words . . 'I did what any good geek would do before installing it. I backed myself up.' Then he needs Donald and Steve's help. Or rather, he needs Donald to switch into Thor and use Steve's shield to work as a conduit for a jump start of sorts. And that's how this issue ends. We see from next issue's cover that somehow Steven Strange figures into the next step of the process. Anyways, part of this book, when Tony's giving all the guys their instructions and telling them what to do, was like reading some assembly instructions for some type of robot or something. Unfortunately, that part was just as dry. But, while all of this is going on, Madame Masque isn't happy about Norman's announcement that he's called off the hunt for Tony. So, she's hired the Ghost, from the Thunderbolts, to kill him. She knows he's in a persistent vegetative state, so . . all she wants him to do is pull the plug. But since they're in the little town of Broxton, Oklahoma . . 'Rooms I can sneak into. Buildings. I don't do towns. Especially towns adjacent to Asgard and half the Avengers.' So Madame Masque has whipped him up a phone. All he has to do is find the building with the power surge, get a phone to ring, and he can be in over the telephone lines. I don't know that this is a good weapon to put into his hands. But shortly after Thor strikes Tony with the electric bolt . . a phone rings at the front desk down stairs. I'm just wondering what the Ghost is going to do now. Now that Tony isn't actually hooked up to anything . . there's nothing to unplug.
Except maybe the hard drive. Hmmm! So far I've enjoyed Matt Fraction's stories throughout this title. This one was a little dry, but . . it did progress what was going on. Next issue should be interesting. And as always, Salvador Larocca has done an incredible job with the art. I loved the wrap-around cover. I thought it looked great.
