Tony Stark's not the brightest...

Invincible Iron Man #15
...meaning he's willingly deleting his memories in order to save invaluable data from a certain Goblin who like to wear socks on his head. So, since the beginning of the "World's Most Wanted" storyline which started as a direct link to the end of Secret Invasion way back when, Stark's been slowly making himself more and more dumb to save the world and shows no signs of letting up.

Really not the best idea for the "world's smartest man" to make himself stupid. What happens if Dr. Doom pulls a fast one on the FF or Loki pulls the Asgardian wool over Thor's winged head? Tony Stark would normally help out but now he's gonna be drooling in his alphabet soup trying to say the word "AWHLCLA."

Frankly, I feel like this is starting to drag on. If a story takes more than 8 parts to tell, it should either be completely epic storytelling or just an ongoing thing like "Walking Dead." All the reader sees is Stark become thicker and thicker and Pepper Potts coping with being the new hero Rescue.

Oh, and there's some sort of story involving Maria Hill and Black Widow, which I confess I've pulled a Tony Stark and have no idea what is going on. Apparently, Hill wants to give something Stark gave her to Captain America and Black Widow is going to help her do it.

I have no doubt however, that Matt Fraction is completely capable of bringing all this together, I just really want it to come soon and get going on the next story.

ENOUGH OF DUMB IRON MAN ALREADY!
Let's wrap it up.

3.5/5 stars
