Very mediocre in comparison to the book before it. I could tell this was a setup for Civil War, but even then it didn’t make much sense. I really didn’t understand a lot of this. But I did see a lot of familiar concepts that popped up in the movies. The artwork was kind of all over the place, not horrible but not nearly as amazing as the previous volume.

A glossy and fun Iron Man storyline that nicely sets up parts of Civil War. While not exactly profound, it has the right combination of action, character development, and fun fantasy “whoa”-factor to keep me happy.

The build-up was great, but the climax was a bit of a let-down. I like how this leads in to "Civil War".

Tony Stark has more control issues.

They are so much less interesting to me when he is not played by Robert Downey, Jr.
