review 1: Yes. Just, yes. This 2nd volume takes place after Zeke Stane's attack on Stark, and right after the Secret Invasion, which places Norman Osborn in charge of SHIELD and Tony out of power and public enemy #1. Pepper Potts is in for a whole new life, Maria Hill is on the run as well...

review 1: This is one of those mish-mash volumes, collecting a few shorter stories that couldn't merit a book of their own. Overall, the lengthy Fraction/LaRocca run on INVINCIBLE IRON MAN was nothing short of phenomenal, but the lead story collected here - "Unfixable" - is mainly an inter...

review 1: I read this like ten minutes ago and don't remember what it was about, so that's a good sign. I was really hoping I could get through Fraction's run in what amounts to one sitting but I don't think I can do it. The Stark Resilient arc is about... cars, I think? He's making cars? ...

review 1: I'm not sure if it was just me, but when I started reading Long Way Down, I felt like the first couple pages were a little jarring. Why was Tony talking to the Avengers and why were they so pushy about trying to help? After this though, the story got good and stayed good. Thin...

review 1: And now for something completely different. This volume contains four different stories collected together in one trade graphic novel. The first story is from an Iron Man annual edition and is about the Mandarin forcing an acclaimed movie director to make a propaganda film of his...

review 1: A continuation of the story. I DON'T like how this major part about Tony Stark getting ousted and S.H.I.E.L.D. closing is just skimmed over in the "Previously" section. Oh, yeah, and this whole alien invasion that caused it to happen. WHAT? Also, Pepper is frumpy looking in this ...

review 1: Ooh I liked this one so much that it took longer to read because I kept emailing fragments of it to Tara.Like, yes, more Pepper/Rescue forever. Also yes to Tony snarking on Doc Ock forever. But most importantly, YES TO IRON MAN AND THOR ON THE MOON FOREVER. File that under things...

review 1: Fraction can do no wrong with this series. I want to begin again and revisit this painful, yet necessary story. Stark's in trouble, serious, no-getting-out, trouble. There's little hope that he'll be back to the way he once was, there's little hope that he'll even make it out ali...

review 1: Poor, poor Tony Stark. He’s gone from the Marvel universe pariah to whipping boy to fugitive and don’t get me started on the Illuminati. Meddling egghead bastards! Now, he’s in a coma and it’s Humpty Dumpty time for Iron Man. He’s wiped superhero identity data that was implan...

review 1: Okay, I'm going to review Resilient part 1 and 2 here, since it really is one story arc.The good: The characters and relationships. Tony Stark having to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of Dark Reign and Siege is probably the most interesting thing about this arc. The dialogue...

review 1: The history of the Mandarin has a lot of good detail, but ends up running long [6/10]. The point-one issue tries way to hard to be clever and if anything that diminishes the impact of a pretty boring retelling of Stark’s history [4/10]. The Howard Stark flashback is good [7/10]. ...

review 1: Carrying on the story of Tony Stark's rebirth - both as man and machine - Stark Resilient is, in essence, nothing more than a bit of filler in the build-up to the next big event.Setting the scene for his new business plan, Pepper's development and a new enemy on the horizon, the ...

review 1: This was a fairly good run. It follows the Civil War storyline, and Tony Stark is the director of SHIELD. It focused on his trying to maintain a balance between his company and SHIELD while faced with a series of terrorist attacks using his technology, perpetrated by the son of a...

review 1: Tony Stark has a few nightmares that keep him up at night. One of those is that someone will improve the Iron Man technology and that someone won't be him. The son of an old foe comes onto the scene and he has upgraded the technology in terrifying ways and cannot be bought over o...

review 1: After reading the first hardcover and really enjoying it a couple of years ago, I wanted to come back to Invincible Iron Man particularly after reading a couple Marvel series where the quality dropped over time. It seems that Matt Fraction is perfect for this book and this is al...

review 1: I had picked up vol. 3 in this series at a sale on Free Comic Book day, and decided I needed to read the whole series. So, inter-library loan to the rescue (although vols. 1, 4, & 5 came right away, but no #2 yet). Anywho, The Five Nightmares is an excellent story involving a ver...
