In this retool of
Marvel’s #1 film property, playboy Tony Stark is going through a bit of a
mid-life crisis. But, when an old flame winds up mysteriously dead and the
Extremis virus is released to the buying public by AIM, it’s Iron Man who has a
renewed purpose in life.
I thought it was
enjoyable as the series is trying to reflect more of the movies that the
general public is more familiar with. There are tons of new super cool armors,
but they aren’t new to me as I’ve seen these before on the short lived Disney
XD cartoon, Iron Man Adventures, already.
Perhaps the best thing
of this series from the Marvel NOW! books that I have read is that this volume
didn’t end on a cliffhanger. The story wraps up in a fairly neat package. Yes,
egos are bruised and there’s a lot of carnage and destruction in Iron Man’s
wake, but at least I could finish this book with a resolution and not have to
wait weeks or months for volume 2.
Rating 8 out of 10.
