As the second arc in Gillen's run on Iron Man closes, it's clear he's got a great understanding as to the character of Tony Stark. The title's in good hands. Read Full Review

Packed with some great action, it's Gillen's ability to foster and maintain tension even in the face of what seems like an obvious outcome that makes Iron Man #15 so fun to read. Naturally, it helps that the art looks great, rendered with a skill that captures the energy of the battle between Tony and 451.“The Secret Origin of Tony Stark” has been a compelling story that looks to end with a bang next month, so bring it on.

This was an outstanding issue, and easily the best the series has produced so far. It had everything from light humour, to amazing action, being exciting, and dramatic the whole way through. It also had a lot of suspense as well, as well as some interesting dialogue. Individually I'd easily recommend this issue, but as it's part of a story that is already on it's seventh part, with most of the previous parts being poor I'd only really recommend it to anyone that's already been reading it, as otherwise it's better to wait till this story's finished, and hope that the next one starts as this one is now.

The storyline has gained some forward momentum, and Gillen has set up the conclusion nicely, but it is the two at the centre of this conflict that keep it from being simply by-the-numbers. Read Full Review

Unless you're really invested in this arc then this issue is good enough to read at the store and move along. The action comes to a painful halt with all the dialogue. Looks like the pending world threat situation is something that Tony can put on hold to have some good old conversation. Read Full Review
