Iron Man goes through several life-changing events in this volume, including repairing his faulty heart. But that doesn't mean things are getting either easier or better for him. The storylines are fine, but (for me) the issues are brought down by George Tuska's poor artwork. I've never warmed to his style, and these have to be some of his worst efforts.

These aren't really getting any better, although I didn't remember how quickly Madame Masque quit being a villain, or how long Jasper Sitwell was in the title.

Vol 6.

It was a very entertaining comic from beginning to end. A recommendation to any iron man fans who wanna enj
oy the character outside of the mcu.

[Brett · Rating 3 out of 5]

From the pre-MCU days when Iron Man was a B-grade character with B-grade stories. Lots of romantic angst in the merry Marvel manner plus some environmental awareness.

[Angela · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tony Stark gets replaced, Madame Masque is introduced, and Iron Man wants to retire. Theres a lot going on in this volume. I particularly liked the Masque story line. Also how it makes Stark suddenly more vulnerable than usual. It is a product of its time, but I really liked the romance thread going through the volume. A good read.

The Marvel Masterworks volumes are fantastic reprints of the early years of Marvel comics. A fantastic resource to allow these hard to find issues to be read by everyone. Very recommended to everyone and Highly recommended to any comic fan.
