  Fittingly, Michelinie and Layton begin their Iron Man swan song with the destruction of the suit of armor worn by the character during the duo's two classic runs on the title. The scene is a touching admission of transition from its authors, as their respective feelings emote from the page as much as the character's in which they're portraying. These veterans may see the world of storytelling inevitably changing around them, but Legacy of Doom feels like their final call back to the ways of old, and to that end, it stands as an absolute treat to the fans of an era already gone by.

He is just trying to deliver a tightly written, quick paced and action packed ride. This mini-series should serve up plenty of popcorn for the brain. The story is entertaining enough that newer readers should enjoy this mini-series just as much as long time Iron Man fans. Read Full Review

Undoubtedly, a promising start. Read Full Review
