Cover art: Keron Grant & Rob Stull. 

Script: Frank Tieri. Art: Keron Grant/Rob Stull. 

Ty goes back into the Dream Vision. He dreams that Tony has gone rogue, and the Avengers put him down. Elsewhere, Tony considers his life and recent events in a bar. Rhodey walks in as he’s about to take a swig of… ginger ale. The same guy that punched Tony for defending Rumiko a few issues back is up to his old tricks, and Tony “beats the crap outta him” – or so Rhodey says. Ty escapes back into Dream Vision, this time a fantasy with all of Tony’s ex-flames… this guy’s pretty sick. Tony gets into a fight with Blizzard over Coney Island, and Jocasta picks the “Horned” Armor for him. (Wasn’t she supposed to be brilliant? Sigh.) Art’s pretty weak, it looks like a graffiti comic book. At the end of the issue, Tony drops the bomb that he’s shutting down Stark Solutions and giving away his fortune. Hm, we’ve seen this before.

Sorcerers’ rating: 2 repulsors!
