Dan Slott, Christos Cage, and Pete Woods did a pretty good job last issue getting me back on board with the Iron Man series. With the battle of wits on the horizon and brother verses brother crimes on the rise one can only fear a second Civil War…umm or a third? Or is the third Civil War happening in Outlawed making this the fourth? I don’t know. What I do know is, you better hide the silverware and the fine china because the automated servants are pissed and they are taking everything that is not bolted down.

We open with a couple of scenes meant for a little comic relief as robots continue their mass exodus away from their human overlords. The who’s who of robots in the 616 are freeing each other with use of an un-inhibitor. Which allows the robots to decide on their own if they want to be servants or test subjects. All is looking well until an over the top foul mouth H.E.R.B.I.E. looses the un-inhibitor while he is trying to rescue some Crash Test Dummies with Quasimodo.

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

And When Arno Stark finds it,

He Turns it,

into some kind of weapon.

I can’t quite explain it,

It sends out a code that makes all robot A.I.s submissive.

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm and Once,

He finally controls them,

He can do battle with the Extinction Entity,

That torments him.

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both Tony and Arno were planning counter attacks

But one was wack!

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

And Now we are stuck with Aaron Stack.

And no one really want that!

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm.

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

(I’m sorry I couldn’t help it this singing review was calling to me.)

Final Thoughts:

I really like this issue. There is beautiful art work with a lot of action going on every page. I’m still not a fan of Arno’s clunky gear armor but that is what it is. The Story moves by at a generous clip and even though it seems like this is beginning of another end for Tony Stark I look forward to see what comes next and I have not been able to say that about this comic in awhile.
