Infamous Iron Man Vol. 1: Infamous by Brian Michael Bendis
3.0

I'd go with a 3.5. I don't see why people dislike this so much. I had fun. Doctor Doom is trying to be a good boy now. You know, after becoming a God and all. So now that Tony is out (that dang Civil War knocked his ass out) the hero we've all wanted comes into the spotlight! Riri...OH WAIT! NO IT'S MOTHERF'ING DOOM!!!!!! Yeah Victor has had enough of doing nice things with people and not getting respect. He decides to take on that mantel of Iron-man and do some good in the world. How? By slowly hunting down big time baddies cause he knows them so well due to being one of them before.

What I liked: I thought the dialog was fun and light. Bendis is a love or hate it type of guy for most people, I luckily love most of it. I also thought the big "reveal" who was behind it was pretty damn good. I was like "Oh shit" even though I don't believe it's actually them. It can't be...right? I also really like how Doom is so different than Tony and Riri. With so many Iron-man characters you have to have them all very different and he does feel that way.

What I didn't like: The Thing fight was a let down. Built up to something epic but in reality was just a few pages of nothingness. Downer. Also the fact the art is a little hard to follow. I really can't tell whats happening. Also it's odd Doom is Iron-man suit because...does he need to be? He's so overpowered anything. Which makes him very powerful, which makes every enemy seem like nothing.

Overall I had fun reading it. I can see why some people dislike it but I quite liked it. More so than Iron-man volume 1-2. So I plan on sticking with this one!
