DNF - this book is terrible. Don't read this.
This is like one of those posts where someone gave a robot and algorithm and asked them to write a Seinfeld script. Only, this robot was given the first 5 minutes of the 2008 Iron Man film and told to write an Iron Man comic. The art is awful, as well. The women don't have human proportions and don't appear to have bones in normal places. The writing is.... *sighs*
Just avoid at all costs.
2019 is the year of me no longer giving a f*ck about DNF-ing books I don't enjoy.
Oy vey.

It’s fine. Maya Hansen gets killed and Extremis auctioned off to the highest bidders. It’s Tony’s job to track down the stolen tech and destroy it.

Well, this ended EXACTLY where I wish it would have started, with Tony Stark suiting up and heading into space. Of course. Goddamn it. Why did we have to fight lesser Iron Men first? Why did we have to discuss the pluses and minuses of Tony Stark banging randos versus settling down with Pepper Potts? Why would that even be on the table at this point? Why does Tony Stark look like he's wearing dentures?
And why oh why do people keep trying to out-Iron-Man Iron Man? If you want to beat Iron Man, it's simple. Just keep sending drinks over to Tony Stark's table until he bottoms out, gets wasted, and spends all his time having heart-to-hearts with people instead of blasting your evil moon base or whatever.
Not terrible by any stretch, but I feel like someone somewhere was like,"Let's do a couple months of ramp up before we actually do some cool shit."

Pros: Tony Stark has to face idealists using the Extremis tech. This means that most of them are not what you would call bad guys, they all have a vision of a better future enabled by the right tool. Also, the story is self contained.
Cons: The art is bland and lacks expression, the female characters are walking sexualized pin ups, the dialog is only ok, and Iron Man is more a garage project than an Avenger.
All in all, didn't love the new run. I'll read the second volume and hope it gets better from there on.

I'm not an Iron Man fan. And I don't have the depth of history. So I don't the references and the subtext. So I'm left with this just being a pretty good story as well that also reiterates Tony's motivation. The various bits and usages of Extremis were clever and that was good enough for me. This is one that I'm looking forward to reading the sequel of.

I always love me some Iron Man - flawed hero and all that. But Gillen's story was nothing too phenomenal. Just middle of the road plot with nothing special to add. Dialogue was the usual snappy Stark patter. I enjoyed Ellis' original Extremis plot, but this seemed like a rehash with slightly different villians.

I might have enjoyed this if not for Greg Land's art. Oh well.

I've found that this run has got off to a bit of a slow start. It's getting better though.
