“Worlds Most Wanted” finally wrapped up in the pages of Iron Man #19 this week, and I am very happy to say that the conclusion to this 12 issue arc was just as good as the rest as the issues that preceded it. To me, this was one of those rare issues that actually had me “on the edge of my seat”, so to speak. After eleven 11 issues there was already a great deal of anticipation to see how this arc would wrap up and that same feeling of anticipation carries on throughout this issue until the very end.
If there were a weak spot to this issue, or this entire arc really, it would be the art. I actually really like Larocca’s cover this week, and I think that can pretty much be said of all of the covers for arc. I’ve read a lot of complaints about Larocca’s penciling throughout this series though quite a few people have noted that it has improved. I never though it was bad to begin with, and I think it has gotten better with each issue (or maybe I’m just used to it now?). I read a few complaints this week that people had a hard time distinguishing between the girls, especially Pepper and Natasha. I did not have this problem and thought that overall the art for this issue was pretty good. Nothing spectacular necessarily, but nothing to complain about either.
The writing for this issue, heck for this entire series, was incredible. I like Matt Fraction as a comic book writer. I love him as an Iron Man writer. The job he did creating an interesting and exciting story with Pepper, Maria, and Black Widow is very impressive, especially for how long the story ran. Fraction’s job of writing Tony throughout this arc was also very impressive. To have him start out as the Tony Stark we all know and in twelve issues break him down into almost a completely different person was very well done and very entertaining. I especially like that even though he had almost completely destroyed his own mind, Tony was still able to achieve some sense of a victory over Norman Osborne, both by preventing him from reading his brain and in showing the world the monster that Osborne really is. Speaking of Osborne, I honestly think that Fraction has been writing this character better than anyone else. He shows him as calculating, ruthless, and incredibly insane; just how the character is supposed to be. I do not think that any other of the various writers who have been writing Osborne across the Marvel titles has done this as well as Fraction has in this series (Bendis’ Dark Avengers is a close second). Finally, the best part of this story and maybe this entire arc is the very end, when Osborne tells the doctor to pull the plug on Tony and the doctor says that only Tony’s doctor can give the ok for that based on his living will. Tony’s doctor? Dr. Donald Blake. CLASSIC
My rating: 5 out of 5, GREAT ISSUE!!!
Art: 3 - Good
Good review!
