With the success of its myriad of films, Marvel has decided to reboot the origins of many of it’s most important characters. With Iron Man 3 coming out recently, I decided to go with the origin of Tony Stark.
There’s a few changes, mostly having a former college bro turned Muslim extremist be the captor that results in Stark needing a metal chest plate to prevent his heart from being damaged by shrapnel. Oddly missing is Obadiah Stain. He figured so prominently in the first Iron Man film, yet he’s nowhere to be found trying to oust Stark from being the head of Stark Industries.
I liked the painted art-style and thought the story itself was very good. I understand why Marvel felt it needed to reboot its character's origins to reflect the films, but why omit key figures from these origins themselves. Doesn’t make sense.
Still, aside from that oversight, this book is Worth Consuming.
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
