HypeFollowing the release of the Post-Secret Wars Invincible Iron Man title, a second series was teased as Doctor Doom becomes a supporting character in that first issue. Now both those characters are working together to discover a Marvel Universe that they didn’t know existed before. Creators Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev worked together on the Daredevil series which began with writer Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada. Now they are back together again on the International Iron Man exploring the real parents of Tony Stark, which began with the Secret Origin of Tony Stark by Kieron Gillen.
Rehash
The
issue takes place in the present before flashbacking to 20 years prior when Tony Stark
when met Cassandra. Both of their parents run rival businesses in selling
arms. While Tony is invited to dinner with her family, Hydra targets her parents for betraying them for selling weapons to their enemies. We then flash
forward to the present where Cassandra is over a fallen Iron Man.
Feedback
Writer
Brian Michael Bendis always starts with a slow burn before picking later in the
story arc. Overall nothing really is expected within the first issue which
justifies a second Iron Man title
and we do not know why the book is titled the International Iron Man.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT –
