MARVELS AVENGERS: IRON MAN #1 does something somewhat rare for a tie-in comic to a video game its actually good. Jim Zub tells an entertaining story, and Paco Diazs art is some of the best youll find for a video game tie-in. Well have to see how this story ties into future issues and eventually the game itself, but MARVELS AVENGERS: IRON MAN #1 stands on its own merits. Read Full Review
The Avengers feel fresh, modern, and vibrant in the way that they're depicted here, though we'll hopefully see more personal moments with each member of the team even if the series focuses on Iron Man over others. Read Full Review
After the Avengers struggle to defeat the C-List Lethal Legion, Tony tracks down a spy stealing his latest software. This is a workable but unspectacular premise, a real "we only took 10 minutes to brainstorm" idea. It's conveyed with also-unspectacular storytelling work. Mr. Diaz's art seems particularly stiff; I suspect he was shackled very tightly to the video game's character models.
"I was vulnerable to his high-tech gun but then an OS upgrade made me bulletproof again" wins the prize for dumbest plot point.
