The Rundown: Tony discovers who took his company and is determined to get justice for his friends.
Tony Stark has discovered that Feilong has purchased his company and decides to confront the new CEO at the Stock Exchange. After challenging Feilong, the two step outside where Tony determines what the man’s weakness might be and exploits it in the name of avenging the friend Feilong killed.
After fighting through the streets of the city, Tony employs a tactic that Feilong doesn’t expect. Something that will not only give Iron Man the advantage, but also give Feilong something he has always wanted. In the aftermath, Tony decides that he needs some help from an unexpected source.
The Story: I really enjoyed the parallel stories in this issue. The contrast between Feilong’s story and Tony’s is interesting and I liked seeing how Tony’s actions informed Feilong’s plans. The battle between the two was great and filled with awesome action and dialogue. I loved seeing Tony use his brain and everything came to a great moment between the characters that will lead to something interesting that I cannot wait to see explored.
The Art: Frigeri delivers some explosive art throughout the issue. The fight between Iron Man and Feilong is visually exciting and I love the style of the art.
