Oh you magnificent bastard I've read your book!! not bad..
After some time to catch up with my tittles I've seen that this series finally is going to get awesome. This issue doesn't involve War Machine but Palmer Addley himself becomes the star of this issue, making him a very damn good villain that I hoped he would become (or at least should have since this whole ongoing has been about Rhodey facing him.
The issue explains the whole mystery behind how can a dead man can do all those terrorist attacks. It could had been much easier to say that he programed a machine to activate all his crap but no. He turn himself into a freaking virus! When he was in his original body he created this little parasites that gave him the ability to manipulate people and he first used it to kill himself by taking a guard's gun. Afterward we get to see how the virus starts spreading from his donated organs to give out blood which explains why this bastard has managed to pull all that off without being traced till now. Making War Machine so pissed, the issue ends with him getting ready to battle to stop him once and for all.
The Good:
Usually in fiction, mad geniuses when they die to give a final strike at the hero or the world he usually uses a super computer that follows its orders at a certain time or the guy ends up leaving part of his conscious in a computer program among other variations of it. But instead Palmer becomes a virus which controls people at will, it's a very scary idea which reminds me of the movie "The Thing" when a alien virus assimilates people and nobody knows who is the thing which is the same here (without all the awesome gore and freakish creatures that appear in the movie of course, that would be just silly). After reading this it makes me wonder if it will affect the next issues. Will it affect Rhodey in his battle as people he knows could be also infected by Palmer? How will he face him now that he is totally pissed off? Well, need to read the next issue to find out and it's great, this series is finally redeeming itself.
The Bad:
About freaking time! As much as i wanted the tie-ins for fear itself to be awesome (which unfortunately, they are the weakest issues of the series till now) i felt it was a waste of time and for me, this feels like issue 6 barely (removing the tie-ins) and the story is good, but it was kinda affected by fear itself since this kinda feels like it's been going on forever, but since the story is going strong now I don't mind that much anymore
Overall: 4/5
Is a good issue that finally starts getting the story going as it gives us a great villain who i feel is probably one of the smartest out of many of the so called "genius" super villains in the Marvel U.
