A Tragic Victory
Format: Paperback
The book arrived within 3 days and was bundled with other miscellaneous items I purchased so no problem there. The book was also in mint condition with no damage what so ever. In my typical graphic novel fashion I picked up this book and did a quick read through. I typically focus on the importance of the literary merit of a graphic novel first and this book has the story telling of the burdened hero theme nailed. Not to spoil any key plot points but Tony's/Iron Man's burdens and actions impress and startle and had me on the edge of my seat the entire read. The part in which intrigued me the most was when Iron Man and Thor had a chance meeting at an untypical setting. This helped set up the scene especially for me since I have not been reading graphic novels by marvel lately and have been out of the loop. But this scene helped give tone to the bad blood between Tony Stark Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers such as Thor, to which I presume are directly influenced because of his actions in Civil War event. The events at the epilogue with Spider-Man further enforce the bad blood theme that occurred in the events of Civil War when registered superhero vigilante's were pitted against unregistered superhero vigilante's (Iron Man was the one who lead the registered against the unregistered). If you are just now jumping on like me some further wiki investigation/research may be required but all together it is fairly easy to get caught up to this point in Stark's timeline. It was a great read and I recommend that you purchase the Invincible Iron Man "omnibus" vol. 1 that collects Vol's 1, 2, and 3 of invincible Iron Man Like I plan on doing along with Invincible Iron Man "omnibus" vol. 2.

Pretty Good
Format: Paperback
This was a pretty good story. Attempted to be deep; Tony's sense of responsibility for his tech, his people and the world around him. It came through alright but could have used more in-depth discriptions of Tony's "Five Nightmares". Also could have gone deeper into the mind of Ezekiel Stane; his grudge against Tony just didn't do it for me. This in sorta the way mainstream comics have gone today; not too wordy. But Matt Fraction brings puts it together well enough. He is one of my favorite writers in the business today. My one real problem was the art. No sir, I didn't like it. The faces, to be exact. All of the men were so dark (and this is coming from a Black guy) and inconsistant from frame to frame. But Pepper Potts and Maria Hill (who should have been darker) were fair complected. Just weird, for some reason. The final issue in the trade paper back actually brings the whole thing home and it has a amazing guest star. I say pick the book up. Especially if you're a fan of the movies and have never read a comic.

Old friends, new enemies
Format: Kindle
One of the things I enjoy about the Iron Man books is their focus on intelligent applications. Cosmic powers have only a little play here, mostly for the villains. Tony Stark out thinks his opponents, and comes at them from angles they didn't anticipate. Even if they are upcoming types!

Fabulous Iron Man Title
Format: Paperback
One of the best recent Iron Man titles. Fraction takes a rather well-tread idea (i.e. Iron Man facing off against a knock-off, tech-based baddie) and turns it into a solid character study of Tony Stark and his titular five nightmares. The art work is great during the action scenes although Larroca's faces always look a tad off, especially in the early issues. Overall a fantastic story that brings the movie influences on the character into the comics while also exploring exactly what it is that makes Iron Man such a great character. Also, the collection includes the amazing post-Civil War epilogue wherein Spider-Man tries to console a worn down Iron Man despite the recent rifts between them.
