Familiar face
Almost fittingly for this story arc, whereas the last issue finally seemed like it was getting on track, here it falls back into the same territory it has flirted with the whole arc. Not that there is much wrong with this issue, in fact there is a lot of good. The battle between Tony and the Hammer women (courtesy of the drones and Detroit Steel) goes on but resolution doesn't come with a huge knockout but rather more behind the scenes negotiations. This leads to more negotiations, some of which seemed forced and some of which advance the plot reasonably well (including the return of a familar face). It is not that this is an average issue, it is just that the story arc seemed to have plateaued somewhat from the last issue and now it is time for the writers to step it up a notch again.
