The Invincible Iron Man: Extremis by Warren Ellis

3.0

This started off good, but didn't really deliver. Plenty of bon mots in the writing, some nice dialogue, and nice use of flashback. But in the end the plot just lets everything down - it's just very dull and traditional (Iron Man fights new villain,gets beaten; IM upgrades armour; IM wins. Essentially it's Rocky III, and many others no doubt). Actually, it was all pretty good until the fighting starts - at the end of the day, I think Ellis is much better at writing Stark than he is Iron Man.

The painted art, though occasionally static (in a drawn-from-photo way), is pretty amazing though. Worth taking a look just for that.
