Heart of Stone
As the lead-in to the Fear Itself crossover for the Iron Man series this issue does a decent job at it. Of course being a crossover there is a lot of forces at play here, but the issue started off well while still maintaining some continuity to the ongoing series with some plot developments relevant to the Resilient based story arcs. The introspection by Tony about how the Iron Man armour allows him to do good for everyone except tony Stark was a nice commentary as well. The real action occurs when he reaches Paris and finds the inhabitants turned into stone statues, presumably at the hand of the Grey Gargoyle. There is not much elaboration on this point other than the battle and the issue ends with a lot of uncertainty. As a tie in to a larger series it does its job, and although crossover issues tend to be hit-or-miss this is mostly hit.
