Does anyone know where Mr Ryan Benjamin, artist is these days? Because when he took over from Whilce Portacio, it was a huge pair of shoes to fill and fill it up right he did. Not only did he bring his own style and fluidity but he maintained some of Portacio's signature looks to ensure a smoother transition and for that, it made this reader happyIn here, we see the continuing tale of a Tony Stark who has finally found his reason to live and so is trying to be less of a bastard than he had been of late. This means also trying to survive various attempts on his life. His and some of his mates that is for you see, Hydra that was the villain from the first arc is not done with Stark yet and has employed one Whirlwind to come and rip Stark apart. The costume re-design is plain awesome ...
But wait a minute ... there is so much stuff happening here that Whirl isn't even the baddie yet for his issue but next. Instead here we have the Living Lazer and we are given a quick backstory on how he came to be ... after all this is Heroes Reborn ... before the age of deconstructed storytelling
And Living Lazer while looking amazing with awesome powers SPOILER ALERT was made short work of by Tony. Ah well ...
On a more personal front, we see that Potts is back assisting Tony and his one-liners with her are just hilarious. The only person that we have yet to understand is liaison Jasper Sitwell. We are not sure if the problem is with both previous and current artists (thus making him look devious) or that they are merely conveying the truth that is to be revealed further on in this series
But whatever it is, this is still one great read
