(Aug. 2004) "Uninvited
Guests -- Turf War part 2." Cover
art: Steve Epting. Script:
John Jackson Miller. Art: Jorge Lucas. Iron
Man and the Avengers
take on Arsenal
"Alpha" to
prevent it from carrying out its directive -- trashing all of NYC's
infrastructure in the wake of World War 3! In Washington D.C., they're
justifiably worried that the public will discover the purpose of Arsenal, and
are working feverishly to get back in contact with Shellhead
over the Avengers' jamming signal. The action is first-rate and Lucas' version
of the Avengers is as well! Warbird
shows up to assist (as part of her new gig with the Dept. of Homeland
Security), and soon after a minion from her team pops up with a fax that has
the key to Arsenal's defeat! The solution is simple: Trash the Avengers'
radio jamming device! The device prevented the signal from the Institute
of Standards Time Clock from reaching Arsenal, thus the robot
"thought" that World War 3 had started! At issue's end, Gyrich
lectures Stark on his conflicting responsibilities, and gets in a few
"digs" in the process.
This
is JJM's final issue, which, again, is a shame in my book. Lucas' art will be
missed as well. Farewell guys! Thanks for the ride. (Oh, and looks like they
fixed the issue numbering problem at last.)
Hube's
Recommendation: 
repulsors!
Fan
Reaction: This is J.J.
Miller and Jorge Lucas' last Iron Man? Those guys are one of the best Iron
Man teams in years. I hope the new guys are just as good. --
