Whoa, after a disastrous last volume I nearly just gave up on this series. I'm glad I didn't.

It took a bit but I think Fraction found his path. While most people love "Most Wanted" storyline, I think this is Tony at his most interesting. After the events of Civil War and Siege, the guy is broken. He's done some really fucked up shit if you don't know. On top of that, he can't remember most of them. The good and the bad. This is his chapter in his life where he's trying to do better but of course it isn't so simple.

What I really enjoyed here was a more Somber and insightful Tony. Not so many cracking jokes, being a asshole, and getting away with it. I really liked him dealing with what he had done but also still not changing his mind on certain subjects. I also really enjoyed the whole "media" angle and new villains being smarter than average "bad guy' and playing the long game seem well earned here. The art was funky at times, and some characters (thor) are drawn horrible.

Overall, this is what I wanted from a Iron Man comic. Actual character growth. A 3.5-4 out of 5.
