THE SEARCH FOR TONY STARK pt II
Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Pencils by Stefano Caselli and Alex Maleev
Cover by RB Silva
Published Nov 15, 2017
Riri Williams makes a desperate call to Doctor Doom for help, as Mary Jane Watson and Amanda Armstrong walk out of the building that graces her son's name. She's upset, but doesn't have much of a chance to grieve before running into former X-Man and Stark Industries hired gun, Hijack. Riri hovers above but is soon attacked by the mutant's controlled air defenses.
Meanwhile in Detroit, one of the super criminals Doom is tracking rifles through an apartment before attacking him, but it appears to be a ruse. Doom is blasted in return and looks back at a horde of the many that he helped put away.
Back in New York, Riri continues fleeing the Stark helicopters when one of them connects with a missile. She powers back up when suddenly, they all stop. Safely out of Hijack's range, MJ walks up and maces him, giving Riri a chance to take out the copters and Amanda a chance to attack him. Back in Detroit, Doom is in trouble. He's beaten into the air before being attacked. He does all he can, eventually blasting them with a beam from his chest and making a run for it. The remaining villains discuss raiding Latveria for it's riches.
The issue wraps with Amanda and MJ walking into the boardroom of Stark Industries while Eric Lynch barters for control. She opens a guitar case and pulls out a piece of rock history, using it to attack the acting CEO. She accuses him of trying to take power while her son is missing. Finally she breaks down, successfully delaying the vote of the board while hoping to spend the time searching for Tony. Where he is though remains a mystery, as a man lies elsewhere on a floor encased in an older Iron Man suit. Who he is, and where Tony is, will have to wait though.. as this issue is left to be continued.
So as the Brian Michael Bendis era wraps on this book, it's strange to consider that Tony will search for a voice that has been so distinctively in the hands of Bendis for so long. Will the next person that picks up that mantle be able to mold his words as well? As luck would have it, we'll have a few more issues to eulogize Bendis before he leaves for DC, and this arc is looking more and more like a classic as well as even harder to replace the man behind the dialogue. For this issue, I give it a 9/10.
