In the olden days of comics, while a major story line may be taking the highlights, many subplots continue to be embedded in each comic book being nurtured until it is their turn to be the stars and this comic is no exception
While it is the second and final part of the Kraken fight, simultaneously, it has been a long non-stop journey for Tony Stark wherein he seems to be besieged by problem after problem with almost no stop gap in between challenges that he doesn't have time to even fix his armour properly and in this issue, he even realizes and acknowledges this but first things first
And the first is that he has to go rescue his friends from the mad commander Kraken who plans to take over the world. He is smart but unhinged. He manages to figure out that Iron Man is Stark. However, he is stupid enough to drop Stark off his ship and tells Stark to wait it out until contacted again. So naturally Tony goes all out to discover Kraken's lair using a bit of brain work and a whole lot of lark before he infiltrates said lair
And as luck would have it, he manages to breach the lair undetected even when he rammed right through a wall ... we guess either there is a challenge in the plot lines itself or perhaps the author intended this way to show that mind controlling your stooges is not the best way to go forward in being a master villain. Either way, the story moves rather fast with no panels wasted on prolonged fights and before we know it, there is a breach in the walls SPOILER ALERT and the water rushes in to destroy everything
However, we are privileged to see the final page and the final panel where it is obvious Kraken somehow managed to escape like a horror movie ...
