Part 8 of the big A.I.M. base assault! The end, it’s here! Not that I want it to be over, but the machinations of The Leader and his crew of pawns are definitely reaching their logical conclusion (for now). If you’re starting your adventures in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe today, welcome, and here’s a handy list of links to get yourself caught up on this particular tale:
Iron Man didn’t really think The Leader was going to stand toe-to-toe with him and have a straight-up fight, did he? The Leader did what he always does: toy with his foes, and escape until he decides to reappear!
Regardless, this is a big day for Tony Stark, here – formally revealing his dual identity as Iron Man to some of his fellow heroes, and turning over control of the Avengers organization that he fought so hard to maintain not all that long ago! Just like The Leader, though, Tony knows that sometimes it’s better to regroup, and rejoin the fight another day, than it is to refuse to stop, and drive yourself (and your audience!) into exhaustion.
(This was also the best way I could think to work that 30 Rock reference – “that country only rich people know about” – into Tony’s dialogue, which I’d been hoping to find a way to do, pretty much since I began working on this comic.)
