Old friends, new enemies
Format: Kindle
One of the things I enjoy about the Iron Man books is their focus on intelligent applications. Cosmic powers have only a little play here, mostly for the villains. Tony Stark out thinks his opponents, and comes at them from angles they didn't anticipate. Even if they are upcoming types!

Fabulous Iron Man Title
Format: Paperback
One of the best recent Iron Man titles. Fraction takes a rather well-tread idea (i.e. Iron Man facing off against a knock-off, tech-based baddie) and turns it into a solid character study of Tony Stark and his titular five nightmares. The art work is great during the action scenes although Larroca's faces always look a tad off, especially in the early issues. Overall a fantastic story that brings the movie influences on the character into the comics while also exploring exactly what it is that makes Iron Man such a great character. Also, the collection includes the amazing post-Civil War epilogue wherein Spider-Man tries to console a worn down Iron Man despite the recent rifts between them.

Long time comic book reader impressed with Iron Man
Format: Kindle
I have been reading comics for years but more along the lines of Vertigo and other independent books. I read 'Extremis" prior to seeing Iron Man 3 and was impressed with the story and art. This is a good read with interesting tech and scifi angles but with adult themes. I like my comic books to be more in line with real world consequences and moral conflicts. I did not feel lost not having been a long time fan of Iron Man but I did enjoy this read. I will be exploring some additional trades in the future as the character is starting to grow on me. Give it a try, the worst that could happen is that you will be midly entertained.

One Great Read
Format: Paperback
The amazing thing about this Trade Paperback is that both long time fans and new readers can enjoy it. It's the perfect jumping on point for fans of the film that have never read an Iron Man comic in their lives. It's also an instant classic story that long time readers will savor. They captured the flavor, depth and character of Tony Stark perfectly. The artwork is remarkable and the story is guaranteed not to disappoint. Highly recommended!

Great comic
Format: Kindle
I loved this comic. It's the first one I've read and I enjoyed the way other Marvel characters showed up periodically throughout it. Great story and art as well. A + in my book!
