    Where was Tony Stark????

    Cover

    The cover was good I thought the art was the best on the cover than in the story.

    Story

    The story begins with the kidnapping of the director and his wife.   Mandarin kidnaps them and he wants the director to tell his story of his life. The director does it to get his wife back. Mandarin is telling lies of his life to seem better. For example he said his mother was important and a noble writer but, really she was whore and a prostitute. When the director finds this out he puts it into the movie and tricks Mandarin. Mandarin says in the end of his movie he wants him killing Iron Man. Everyone knows he is a hero and no one wants it in the movie but, what Mandarin says goes. When the movie is finished the director sees his wife and reunites but, there is something wrong with her. When Mandarin see the film he says it is all lies and blows up the theater and kills everyone.

    Best Part

    I really liked that Mandarin was telling all lies of his life to make it seem better.

    Worst Part

    There was really no Iron Man in this story. There was no real Tony Stark in this story. I was really disappointed and I felt the story was way too long and I could not wait for it to be over.

    Art

    Not as good as the regular Invincible Iron Man series. It was not great of art and I was definitely not impressed.

    Pick it up or not

    Do not pick it up!!!!

      Pros: -This is an extremely tightly written story. I never felt that even a single panel in this book was wasted space. I was immediately sucked into the story and it didn’t let me go until I read the last line. I’ve read very few Iron Man books pre-Fraction’s Invincible Iron Man, so I really know very little about the Mandarin. I absolutely feel like I know everything I need to know about the character’s personality after reading this story. -The story hit all the emotional high and low notes ...
