Infamous Iron Man #5


Infamous Iron Man (2016-) #5

Infamous Iron Man, Issue #5 begins with Ben Grimm in a S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital, recovering from the injuries he sustained in his fight with Victor Von Doom's mother.  She might have killed him if her son hadn't intervened.  Victor Von Doom is Iron Man now, and Ben Grimm is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Grimm talks with Director Hill about the situation; Doctor Doom saved Grimm's life before entering into battle with Infamous Iron Man/Victor Von Doom.  Then we return to the Dr. Perera arc; she first appeared in Invincible Iron Man (2015-2016).

This comic is well done.  We see the confrontation between Von Doom and his mother through the eyes of the Thing (Grimm).  Then we see things from Dr. Perera's perspective, kind of a yin-and-yang thing.  Finally, Von Doom tells what happened between him and his mother to Dr. Perera.  The final twist was... unexpected.  I won't give it away, but it's... strange.  I don't know what to think of it.  The story does take place in Earth-616, but everything's... different regarding the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom.
