This was a great end to a great run that I am sad to see come to an end. As I have said from the beginning, if you are even a passing fan of Iron Man and his world, read this series. You will not be disappointed! Read Full Review

Overall I thought this was kinda good. Which is funny considering it was so mutant focused but still mostly in character for Tony

Criminology.

I think the relationship between Emma and Tony represents this run perfectly for me. From something so unpromising, so unambitious, so unserious at first grew something unexpectedly memorable, special, big, and even smart. Misdirection is something, that this run used many times, both in the story and outside and it did it so well. It made a story that was tense, surprising, always fun, and unexpected. It did not reinvent the wheel, while still putting him in a position that was not associated with him. everything this run did, it made the case for it and it made it good. It deserves its own existence. I will remember it very fondly. As for this issue: a lot of those final issues feel rushed, but this one did not feel like that at least for the most part. It kept with Tony's light monologue, sometimes sarcastic monologue for setting the mood and building the story as it happened in just one day fitting the spontaneous, low-key nature of it. A lot of the highlights of this run are in what's behind the ''cool'', behind its playful nature, and what those moments mean on a deeper level. Here we did not get much of that to me. But it's fine, it's the last issue, there is no time for more obscuring and in general, it seems simpler. there were still these great moments of poignancy, like the idea of how writing can clear your mind, which puts a whole other meaning to the whole run, and how this can be seen as a palette cleanser after Cantwell(i liked Cantwell a lot) and explains even some stuff about the characterization etc. About Emma, I really think I'm sad about it than Tony is. His reaction fits the issue, it fits, the more hopeful, freedom-filled tone of the issue, but this deserved way bigger impact. Don't get me wrong, Tony's pain is obvious, it's obvious how much he cared about this whole thing. There were some piercing quotes and sequences of panels, but I needed more of an emotional payoff, and what we got, came off as more necessary, than needed. At least they left on very good terms. It makes everything that happened here in a way more special, like time capsule. Still, I think this issue did a good job of icing a very nice and good cake, so obviously it's job was not very hard, and that's why it just tied some final stuff. It was not an intense issue. I think Tony is in a good mental place, in a mature one, if not anything the end of him and Emma certifies that. Seeing Tony and Rhody play ball, seemed like everything needed was done, and now it was finally time for the next run. more

Really good end to a really good run. I'm sad the marriage didn't last (or did it? the annulment was postponed and Emma just said she needs time...) I was really rooting for those two kids. It's such an odd couple that actually works, I could see it lasting for years. But back to the issue, art was solid, writing was solid. Everything got wrapped up pretty conveniently but nothing was unbelievable or too big of a stretch. Leading into a WCA book is an interesting direction. I'll probably follow that too.

I honestly think this run could’ve been way better, but I liked it anyways. The first issues were amazing, but the mutant storyline dragged it down a lot. Let’s see what the future holds for Tony Stark!

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. On the positive side, the story wraps up smoothly, tying up loose ends without feeling rushed. It’s not the most thrilling conclusion, but it gets the job done. Overall, a satisfactory end to the arc, even if it could have been more engaging.

I must have read a different book than everyone else. I thought this was average at best. It was so obvious that Duggan had to put everything back for the next writer and had one issue to do it. All charges dropped against Rhodey - convenient. Emma gives billions of dollars to Tony - convenient. She mind controls people to steal, so they all lose their jobs - awful. Crimson Dynamo shows up at his book signing just to have an action scene - random. The only scene that was good was the one between Tony and Emma.The only good thing to come out of this run was their relationship whenich has now been abandoned.
