Okay, so I only read three-fourths of the book. That’s accurate. But I was getting INCREDIBLY bored of this book. So it starts off amazing (which merits it a 3/5, but if this were the entire book it’d be a 5/5), which has Iron Man losing control of his body because of these guys named the Marrs Twins. And then he has to fight the ghost of this guy named the Titanium Man! And then not too much happens until the Mandarin comes around and unleashes the power of this guy named “Fin Fang Foom” which is a kind of stupid name. And Tony does some stuff and some more stuff. Wow.
So then the first issue ol’ Fingy gets to fight Iron Man is great, but it’s the second issue that really lost me. The second one was the beginning of the “Dragon Seed Saga” and it was...bad. There was barely any action, unnecessary words seemed to be just CRAMMED into panels, and yeah. Don’t read that part. And even before that, it was starting to feel like a chore to read because nothing really happened.

An okay story ark. But about a set of characters - whether Iron Man or Tony Stark or James Rhodes or the Mandarin - that I didn't really care that much about either before or after. Black Widow shows up at some point, and her story was a bit lame and I didn't care for how she was drawn. Art was fine, which is not bad considering the age. Writing was fine. Just not all that great.
