While the tension between Tony and Mandarin continues to bubble nicely, Fraction also delivers some extended action as both Iron Man and Rescue battle their united foes. I do wish Pepper's attempts to ferret out Iron Man's identity weren't such a significant part of their interaction, given that the reader knows perfectly well who he is. On the other hand, Iron Man delivers a slightly on-the-nose speech that suggests there's a much deeper reason for all the deception and conspiracy. One thing is certain -- there's more than enough incentive to keep coming back for each issue of Future. The rapid shipping schedule is just one more bonus. Read Full Review

Overall, this arc is so much stronger than the last and we're only two issues in. There's still a lot more to see, but I'm definitely on board to see what happens next! Read Full Review

Overall, the past two stories have been a 5/5 for me. This one hit a little bit of a slump with me because I found the Mandarin/Tony Stark scenes so much more intriguing, but it was still a great book. We got to see a great possibly updated history of the Mandarin as well as what Tony Stark's real plans are. I loved the art and writing on this book, as always. Read Full Review
