It’s ok? I’m willing to give it another book. Patsy walker is by far the most interesting part. I don’t care about Korvac.

Picked up this series in single issue from my local comic con. I like Christopher Cantwell so I figured I'd give it a shot.
The good:
Tony wrestling with ego and identity. It feels familiar, but somehow fresh.
The Hellcat relationship is great.
The mutant kid is a great dynamic.
Unlike golden and silver age comics, he has lots of strong female characters that push him around and challenge his ego.
The art is great, the Alex Ross covers are next-level awesome.
The bad:
The villain is... just another villain. He's super powerful yada yada, but the real enemy of this series is Tony's inner turmoil and the villain does nothing to add complexity to that.
The series itself seems to be wrestling a bit with super hero fatigue. People don't like straight-up heroes anymore, they have to vilify every hero. Tony believes that he is a hero and that the public has turned on him because they can't handle true heroes anymore. This is a great mixture of real sentiment in the public combined with Tony's ego.

They continue to shit on Tony Stark. In the last 2 years the stories with Iron Man were awful. Please stop. Please hire decent writers.

Not bad. Big Iron is another take of Tony Stark going through a mid life crisis but this book has a lot of charm to it. The downside is that the story gets very hectic to the point you get a little confused over what's happening. That being said the writing and the characters are entertaining. Hopefully the story will pick up after this volume.

One of the strongest features about this take on Iron Man is the characterization. It was refreshing to see a more vulnerable Tony Stark than we've seen in recent years. Bringing in Patsy "Hellcat" Walker into the mix is a welcome surprise to a solid volume which I'm looking forward to reading future installments.
