The final issue of this Iron Man arc is a bit of a mixed bag. While there are some dull moments that drag the pacing down, the action scenes scattered throughout provide enough excitement to keep things moving. The battles are decent but not particularly spectacular.

This latest Iron Man comic delves into a chapter from Tony Stark’s past, but it doesn’t bring anything particularly groundbreaking to the table.
