The conclusion to the Secret Origin of Tony Stark
changes everything you know about Iron Man and I love it! More secrets about
the deal that Tony’s parents made with 451 are reveal. Not only that, Tony ends
his vacation in outer space and a major supporting character reveals some
forthcoming nuptial plans.
While some of pacing of the middle of this volume
began to progress at a snail’s pace, I was very happy with this book. The art
is incredible and the action is top notch (when it does occur.) There’s some
great mind-bending physics involved with Stark attempting to escape a temporal
black hole and I just love how everything you thought you knew about Tony Stark
gets thrown out the window. I cannot wait to read what Tony does with the new
information he has about his family history and I hope my local library picks
up that volume as soon as it’s available for release.
Lastly, I didn’t mention this about the last volume,
but I thought that the covers were awesome. There are a variety of variant
covers of the “Baby Iron Man” cover and I love the color scheme and creativity of
covers such as the “Family Iron Man” cover as seen on the cover (and this
review.)
I usually give Marvel grief for their retooling of
their characters. This time, I will admit, I was in the presence of greatness.
The creative team behind Iron Man has done an exceptional job with Iron Man and
have crafted him into a franchise player in the Marvel NOW! universe.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
