   Captain America flies overhead advising all Avengers to remain vigilant in the search for Stark. Meanwhile, Riri recaps her meeting with Blade, who advised her to head to MIT and help look for him as well.


Hello. I'm a vampire. You should go to MIT.

   In Latveria, Hood continues shaking down Dr. Doom for his country's GDP. As Victor resists, Robbins tells Wrecker to pry his armor open. Using his crowbar, the crowd of villains sees Doom is clad in full Iron Man armor. Telling them to stop one final time, the mob nearly has it penetrated.


One minute he's a supervillain.. The next he's a super chump.

   At MIT, Riri and her team use the process of elimination, plus the power of Friday, to locate Tony's armor. The four of them take to the sky for Paramus, New Jersey.
   Back at Doom's lair, Wrecker has nearly gotten the armor open despite Victor's threats. Once it's cracked however, they discover it's empty. He's escaped. Either way, they deduce that since he's been parading around as Iron Man so much lately, their best bet is to find Tony Stark.


"So we van't find Doom but we can find Stark?" That's what I'd have asked...

   In New Jersey, the Armor Squad lands near an abandoned Best Buy. As they enter, Friday goes on the fritz, as well as everyone else's armor reacting to some kind of interference. Rushing towards them however are droves of supervillains. They fight back and quickly overpower the drones, later discovering their master. There sits Ceres Goldstein, tinkerer and arms dealer of the new Sinister Six.


Bendis gives Ceres one last plug.

   Finally there's a breakthrough. Friday starts to buffer again and the voice on the other end is Tony Stark's. He tells his disciples that he needs to be left alone and they can't find him. Friday comes back online and the team debates their next move.
   The issue wraps in Boston. Dr. Amara Perara answers the door to a wounded Victor Von Doom begging for help. What will happen next? We'll have to wait to find out as this issue is left to be continued.


Help me!

   I've seriously been digging this back and forth between Alex Maleev and Stefano Caselli. Both were amazing artists in their own Iron Man books, and having them pencil together during Bendis' swan song is just a total treat. The only thing that makes me sad about it is this team's time draws to an even closer end. 2 issue left. But for this one, I give it a 9/10.
