It's the beginning of a new era for Iron Man as renowned scribe Warren Ellis joins forces with digital painter Adi Granov to redefine the armored avenger's world for the 21st century-a landscape of terrifying new technologies that threaten to overwhelm fragile mankind! What is Extremis, who has unleashed it, and what does its emergence portend for the world?
Ultimately, with the Invincible Iron Man #1, Ellis has constructed a memorable, if not particularly spectacular, opening issue. The story is sure to please the loyal throngs of Iron Man fans as well as offer an ideal place for new readers to jump on. For a first issue it manages to accomplish a great deal indeed, giving insight into Stark and the origins of Iron Man as well as offering an intriguing sub plot. In this sense The Invincible Iron Man #1 is definitely worth the read, but with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in the series, a featured film in the works, and exclusive contracts signed, one cant help but wonder what Spider Jerusalem would think.

´´Do you think they have your painkilling drug pumps in Iraq? Do you think an afhgan kid with his arms blow off by a landmine is remotely impressed by an Iron Man suit?``
Not a ton happens in Iron Man 1 and the art is a little to video game like for me but the dialogue by Ellis is perfect and this issue got me excited for the next
