We pick up at a point where Iron Man/Tony Stark has been fired from his job of Director of S.H.E.I.L.D. Basically, the top cop in the world. Additionally, his multi-billion dollar company, Stark Industries, is failing and Tony has to go on the run to protect the secrets in his head from the worlds new top cop and former/current super villain Norman Osborn. His audacious plan to protect his secrets includes erasing his memory. Dun-dun-dah! |
Anyway, at the end of this volume Tony is left at, arguably, the lowest point of his career. Volume 4 should be an interesting read to see how they put Tony Stark back together again. Oh, and Salvador Larroca is the artist on both volumes. I think he is a great artist but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that some of the photo-realistic techniques he used in the book took me out of the story. It was a bit of an uncanny valley situation where the characters looked too real but not real enough. I really don't mind if my comic books look like comic books or even cartoony. |

Books I've Read This Week
This weeks entry is a bit of an amuse-bouche as I needed to read something light between some of the weightier books I've got on the go.
