Iron Man Vol. 1: A New Nightmare
Superstar writer Joshua Williamson and Legacy Stormbreaker Carmen Carnero add fresh luster to the Golden Avenger!
The unapologetic Iron Man is a once-in-a-lifetime hero — but the beating heart behind the armor is a once-in-a-century genius. Years ago, Tony Stark was knocking on death’s door, so he created the Iron Man armor to survive! What happens the next time death comes calling? What weapon does he create then? What if…someone else creates it first? These questions have haunted Tony for years, a ticking timebomb inside of him waiting to explode. Madame Masque has also asked these questions — and backed by the power of Advanced Idea Mechanics, she’s ready to create the next great weapon! Captain America throws his mighty shield! But is it with Iron Man or against him?

This was such a great book like we have a new era of IM and its an exciting premise with Madame masque kidnapping all these genius people Tony sleected and well Tony has to save them and one main person Adam ware.. and we see AIM vs Tony and its so quick and easy to read and how he is after AIM to save these people.. the whole thing is MM wanting to recreate the trauma or incident that built Tony stark.. thats his biggest nightmare which he once told Whitney about and she is trying to recreate that!
The next tony stark and we see how each of the people captured there.. what they are doing and all to escape.. and how Iron man goes after to save them.. and theres a fun meeting with MODOK, and love the moments between him, Pepper and Melinda may aka the cavalry! And how they are helping him here and how when he gets captured.. what he does to save the people there at a big cost plus also Fixer from Thunderbolts gets an armor.. and the name is kinda silly.. but its a quick short battle and a big twist with Adam ware!
It was a fun fine short story but sets the stage for whats to come in Iron man in Josh's run and I was looking so forward to it tbh when it was announced and there are a few shortcomings but I hae heard it gets better and its just the start so the run overall is headed in a positive direction. Love the supporting cast, love the premise, and Tony.. how he is written is amazing. There is one more issue with Iron man vs Norman (as of his recent developments in ASM) and its them 3 vs Ghost as he wants to set up Norman for a thing he did and it was a fine short story I guess.
Overall, pretty fun and exciting to read and I will definitely recommend it and I am excited to see where the run goes!!

You can tell when you're reading a Joshua Williamson book, that's for sure. Given all his stellar work at DC and Image, I was surprised to see him making the jump to Marvel - but he fits in here just as well as elsewhere.
if anyone needs a bit of a boost these days, it's Iron Man. The last run was...fine given that it was mostly a One World Under Doom tie-in and Duggan's extended X-Men tie-in run was great, but it's nice to see Tony getting back to his roots as a proper solo character. Williamson ropes in Melinda May from the last run (always a highlight, we love her) as well as Pepper Potts, and then we're off to the races as Madame Masque kidnaps numerous people Tony thought could be just as smart as him to torture them into becoming Evil Tonies for AIM. Classic Whitney.
Williamson tugs on some fun continuity strings, showing that he's just as invested in Marvel's greater tapestry as he is DC's, and even manages to tie stuff together with the current Spider-Man and Venom runs, plus seeding something much larger for the future with the introduction of the new Citizen V. Plus, any book that references old Thunderbolts runs gets a big thumbs up from me.
On art we mostly have Carmen Carnero, who's great, though doesn't manage to draw five issues in a row without assistance from Jan Bazaldua, who doesn't quite mesh with Carnero's style. Juann Cabal shows up for the issue 6 Spider-Man team-up, which is beautiful.
Solid new start, great new direction, and a superb welcome for one of DC's top talent. I've got my eye on Iron Man again for the first time in a while.

Review of advance copy
Príbeh sa zameriava na úvod Tonyho kariéry, ale pozerá sa na ňu iným pohľadom. Čo ak bude nejaký iný génius zatlačený do kúta a bude nútený nájsť spôsob, ako sa zachrániť? A čo ak vynájde zbraň, ktorú nevyužije pre dobro, ale pre zlo? O tejto Tonyho nočnej more vie femme fatale Madame Masque a za pomoci AIM chce vytvoriť nového Starka.
Úvahy sú to zaujímavé a majú šancu zaujať aj dlhoročných čitateľov a na druhej strane dostatočne predstavia Tonyho charakter aj úplným nováčikom. Séria má potenciál, vytvorila si zaujímavého zloducha a Tony je jednoducho Tony – génius, milionár a filantrop.

This is decent. I like Tony's voice. I like the impending doom factor at the end of a bunch of issues. Saying how Tony might go off the deep end. But the main storyline, Aim, and all that is just okay. I'll check out volume 2 down the line.
