james_desantis 's review for:
The Invincible Iron Man, Volume 1: The Five Nightmares
by Matt Fraction
So on the quest to find a Iron Man comic I'll love. Did Matt Fraction's critically acclaimed series do it for me? No.
Saying that though this is still pretty fun. So Tony is trying his best to run Shield (This right before he loses all control) while also dealing with his past sins (because those never go away after being a arms dealer who indirectly killed hundreds). In doing so we have a old face, well kind of, a son of a old villain who decides to use Stark's tech to kill a lot of people. In this, Stark must fight back, but not in combat. Well, kind of combat. But a lot of smarts.
Good: Tony's ideas and plans are different than most heroes but it works well. I really liked the art, some shots are fantastic. I also really enjoyed Pepper's relationship with Tony here, it's both sweet and interesting.
Bad: The storyline and villain can be overstuffed and little long. I got bored at the baddies motivation and monologues.
Overall this is a fun Iron Man story but I've read a lot of that. I thought Bendis run was fun too even if short. So still on the search for amazing but this isn't bad. I'll read a few more volumes! A 3 out of 5.
