Infamous Iron Man Vol. 2: The Absolution of Doom
by Brian Michael Bendis
So it's over. Damn shame because this series could have kept building.
So Doom is starting to become a true hero. He takes down 40+ villains in the very first issue. At first Ben thought he killed them all but we find out he just knocked them out and they were arrested. Doom arresting people? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO? But then when Ben goes on a mission to find out what Doom is really up to we find out the truth behind the twist in the last volume, who is Doom's mother truly? It all comes down to a psychological warefare battle that could only end in one truth...this is the end of Infamous Iron-man (the series, he'll be back in Iron-man legacy.)
Good: I really enjoy Doom's interaction with everyone. He's snide, very very smart, and kind of a dick. I also like Ben dealing with not letting go of the past but so badly wanting Doom to be good. The Riri interaction with Doom was great too and it shows how much of a kid she is in comparison to someone with a history like Doom. Also how great was Strange coming in to help doom out at the end?
Bad: THe art sometimes can be a little wonky. Still good sometimes, but other times can't tell what's happening. Also the ending feels rushed as you can kind of tell Bendis had longer plans but they all came to a head because Iron-man Tony HAS to come back. Fuck people learn to try new things. Ugh.
Anyway this was a fun series while it lasted all of 12 issues. I enjoyed the banter, the fighting, the story for this run. It wasn't perfect but where it ended I still wanted more. I'd give this one a 3.5 and recommend it to anyone liking some snide ass Iron-man going around using magical powers on top of having a badass suit.
