"Extremis" Part 2 of 6
Iron Man is severely injured by and extremis prototype. He decides the only way to beat them and save himself is to be injected with the last dose of extremis. This will connect the suit with his brain and they will become one. He'll be Iron Man inside and out.
In the end, the success of The Invincible Iron Man remains entirely uncertain. There is no doubt that Ellis has the potential to innovate Iron Man and offer a brilliant new take on the character and the themes put forth by the original. And yet, Ellis has yet to strike a balance between developing a multi faceted character, creating a superhero that will appeal to fans of the genre, and presenting a work that is socially relevant. If Ellis can someone find a way to balance all three in future issues then The Invincible Iron Man has the potential to be some of Ellis strongest work yet. In the meantime readers will have to wait until issue #3 hits the shelves next month to decide whether Iron Man will once again take flight or drop like a lead weight. Read Full Review
