2.0

What the fucks of fucks was this? Like I OWN Mighty Avengers...why am I reading issues in here? Ones that have NOTHING to do with current Iron man run? Ugh. I get to put filler but this was some ol' bullshit.

The three NEW issues, or current run of Iron-man you get, aren't bad. It's basically Tony dealing with the fallout of his best friends death. Between that and all his friends fighting and Carol being a enemy he's losing himself. He's losing the will to fight. He meets Riri and you can see how much he admires her and feels safe leaving his legacy in her hands. However, everything he's doing feels like he's leaving. He doesn't have much more to give. That's the only way to go really.

What I liked: I really enjoyed the final issue. Riri issue was also solid and good introduction to his relationship with her. The last issue of him dealing with Carol talking it out, commenting how he loves her, but them not giving up who they are or what they are. It was pretty well done and emotional. Oh and Tony going off on Doom was great.

What I didn't like: THe mighty avengers issues were bullshit. On top of that the way they did it with time travel to throw back...so lame. Also the first new issue was kind of boring and didn't really give me much to connect with at the start.

This is a uneven collection. I'm going to go with a 2.5 for the actual book cause it was cheap and rip-offish. The new issues were all around a 3-4, but the package with the MIghty Avengers, not to mention not great issues, brings the overall feel of the volume down.
