About Heroes

Review by: The Dude

Writer: Joe Casey
Artist: Frazer Irving

Geeze where do I begin. This issue has been like the last four of Inevitable, fan-freakin-tastic. Maggie Dillon seving as psychologist of sorts for the Living Laser, after an explosion, ends up dying in Starks' arms. The relationship between Stark and Dillon had been set up early on in this run and with this issue you find out why. With this death and Tony feeling responsible, his need for revenge seems to further mark his somewhat recent descent into darkness. In the end, this issue ultimately leads to a confrontation with Spymaster and of course, a cliffhanger. The appearance of Doc Samson in this issue was nice but was brief and seemed a tad unneeded. The issue of Extremis, and Stark creating multiple robot Iron Men to control has been something that has been hinted around all throughout this and other issues and likely will become something even bigger in the monthly run of IM, only time will tell. Having not read Iron Man until recently I gotta give props to the people doing Iron Man: The Inevitable. Joe Casey's writing of this series has been great and thus far has not yet faultered. Irving's art for the whole series run compliments the story well, sometimes the facial experssions seem lacking at points but the overall mood, fitting. In general my only grip about this comic is that it is not a monthly book and is ending in the next issue. Overall I give this issue what I would give every other in Iron Man:Inevitable A.
