Iron Man hits a snag finally as a solid fun run turns bland and boring.

My favorite things in comics is when we go inside the mind of someone and get to see a dream sequence. It's just so fun to see fake images of things while they argue with someone who isn't there that they love/hate, until they find themselves and wake up. That is volume 4 of Invincible Iron Man. Nothing new. Nothing interesting. Just Tony brain dead and the people close to him bring him back but while they do that, we get to visit the inside of Tony's brain for him to want to be Iron Man once more.

Now listen, I didn't LOVE this run but there were some really fun parts. While flawed Fraction made Tony pretty fun with some great fights. This has almost none of that. Boring fights, boring plot progression, and worst of all Tony, the main character, is boring here. Cliche is the best word to use for this plot. The only thing I DID like was Potts here second guessing things and also anything with her and Hill. All that was great.

Overall, a very weak volume. While not completely shit it was a step down from 1-3. A 2 out of 5.
