The Horn of the Unicorn!
by Bill Mantlo, Keith Pollard, Herb Trippe, Joe Rubinstein
Tony Stark invites the press in to see how he rebuilt Stark Industries. The new look of his Long Island HQ is displayed in a dazzling double page spread. Jack of Hearts leaves. This is his final appearance in Iron Man. He next shows up in a solo story in Marvel Premiere 44.
Madame Masque gives Tony a bit of the cold shoulder. She isn’t completely over him just yet but this feels like foreshadowing. Her major gripe is that he keeps running off without her, which is true. It’s hard to fault her for being angry at him for that.
Someone is sneaking around Stark Industries. He was also in the previous issue. He doesn’t have a name yet but I think I know who he is. I’m not sure that his real identity will be revealed in the last couple issues of Bill Mantlo’s run on Iron Man.
Someone else sneaks into Stark Industries and gets into a fight with Iron Man: The Unicorn. He seems to be serving someone else but that someone isn’t nearby and is only shown in shadows.
I’m not sure what they are building to here but it feels like they are building to something. I’m along for the ride through the end of Mantlo’s run on the book but that’s just two more issues.
