Just stunning February 3, 2008

Warren Ellis tales this tale of the reinvention of Tony Stark as Iron Man in preperation for the Civil War. The story is gripping, with all the characterisations done perfectly. The characters feel like real people, with flaws and emotions rather than just wise-cracking bad guys, heroes and side-kicks, which is really where Ellis comes into his own in my opinion.
Next, the artwork. Adi Granov is truly a master of comic art. Every page is so amazingly done, some of the images I had to flick back to once I'd turned the page just to look at them again. The lack of typical comic sound effects also works with the ultra-realistic artwork to make this story about such a larger than life character feel deeply routed in the real world.
If you like comics at all, even if you're not a Marvel fan, buy this. I started collecting Iron Man from here and it has instantly become one of the best runs I own, even standing proudly next to Captain America.
An absolute MUST HAVE.
A good introduction to the Iron Man World March 12, 2007

This is one of the best Iron Man stories to date, in my opinion. The Writing is excellent and the images are just beautiful. This book will give you a good foundation and will allow you to read any iron man story and know the basics.
It covers the origin story of Iron Man in a clear precise way, yet is still interesting if you already know it. The book brings up various issues with Tony Stark, and his guilt of being an arms dealer.
A must buy for anyone who likes Iron Man or wants ti get involved.
Beautiful art, engaging and self-contained story September 9, 2006

Adi Granov's art is worth the money alone. It is extraordinarily beautiful and the storytelling is concise and a pleasure to read.
Ellis' story is thoroughly absorbing and the characterisation is, to me, faultless. Also, the reader does not need a background in the Marvel Universe to enjoy this book; a rare pleasure.
This book was a highlight of my reading this year and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
