This is a great first issue that establishes something fun and interesting for Tony and Iron Man going forward. Read Full Review

Slott and his creative team capture the energy and voice of Tony Stark and the Iron Man idea persona. This issue uses tropes that made the first Iron Man film great. The art is kinetic and vibrant much like the title character. The style allows the story consistently flowing at a face pace. Slotts reputation could only guild on the success of this first issue to be a tremendously successful arc. Read Full Review

This comic, despite its nearly prohibitive price tag, is a wonderful introduction to Tony Stark, Iron Man, Stark Unlimited, and Dan Slott's tenure on one of Marvel's most recognizable properties. It offers a little more for readers more versed with Iron Man's mythology prior to this issue, but there's plenty here for everyone. Read Full Review

Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 is a fun, easy entry-point to the Iron Man universe for any reader, no matter their familiarity with the recent workings of Marvel. Schiti and Delgado are an excellent artistic team whose vibrant work mesh perfectly with the more comedic aspects of Slott’s script, and collectively, this team has created a debut issue that feels incredibly welcoming, especially in a comics landscape that has churned through seemingly innumerable reboots and renumberings in the last few years.

Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 is a good, if not great, issue but it still holds plenty of promise. Read Full Review

A solid introduction to this character and his supporting cast. It does mold the comic book character into the film persona a little too often, but this is obviously being done to attract and keep new readers. Old time readers will find plenty to enjoy, though there are instances which might skew too far to younger readers. If Marvel keeps Tony this way, they are sure to have a long run with this series.

Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 is an entertaining but fairly shallow debut for the new series. Read Full Review

There are maybe a few ways in which the comic plays things a little too safe, at times " but for a first issue of a new series, after the character has been MIA for a while? That's not a bad thing; the comic can take its time and shake things up later, after re-establishing the status quo. Read Full Review

I'd give this book a solid, middle-of-the-road BROWSE. It has some fun ideas in it and decent action, though the characterization could use some work. Read Full Review

At the end of the day the whole business end of the variant covers is what kept me from totally enjoying this issue, but the story is good enough enough that I am going to trash it. Lesson Learned: don't judge a book by 20 not-so good looking covers. Read Full Review

There is a lot of potential in Tony Stark: Iron Man #1. Schiti is an undeniably great pick for the first issue, executing new concepts like a nesting doll arrangement of armors wonderfully. Slott is charming in the exact ways that fans have come to expect. His story aims big, taps into the history of Marvel, and offers plenty of jokes. The direction is unclear though, and it's difficult to understand how this presentation of Tony Stark aligns with concerns of ethics in technology, mass corporate control, and egoism.

Tony Stark " Iron Man #1 was a frustratingly disappointing read. I wanted to love this issue and I do think that Slott has some really cool concepts for this title. But, Slott's shallow story, poor character work and hellbent focus on getting out a message over delivering a quality story really hurts this title. At this point, I cannot recommend Tony Stark " Iron Man. There are too many other super hero titles on the market that offer a superior bang for your buck. Read Full Review

Bhang applies his operating system and even adds a little flair he got from young Tony twenty-five years ago. “And the day is saved. Thanks to…” This is some very saccharine exposition and a cliche ‘last-minute save' brought to you by an uninspiring view of a beloved and complex character. The last few panels riff off the press conference of the Jon Favreau's MCU-creating Iron Man movie, leaving off with the idea that everyone at Stark Unlimited has a hand in Iron Man's destiny. This is an awkward and sanitized comedic take on a very nuanced and layered title. Read Full Review

Solid start for a new run that was severely needed.

This book just kept engaged I want to read the next issue like right now!

"Is that a teeny, tiny Tony Stark?"

Saint Tony of the Church of Iron Man breathlessly sweeps up an old competitor and installs him in the new Stark Unlimited Robotics Division. There's a Fin Fang Foom fight and some back-burnered corporate espionage, but for my money, the most promising novelty is Jocasta as the company's robo-ethics specialist. This script is ambitious, particularly in its "one step past tolerable on the cocky-meter" characterization of Tony. Exceptional art NEARLY sells this as all-time great; I'm held back by a little uncertainty as to whether this issue's patronizing tone comes from Tony or the author.

This was great and feels like a giant sample of what is to come!

Wow, I like Slott, but this. I didn't know that he can do this kind of fun.

Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 is fun and exciting new direction for Iron Man going forward, with a new character in the supporting cast, along with an unknown threat that is targeting Tony Stark.

The story kicks off with Tony recruiting new character Andy Bhang into his company, Stark Unlimited, due to the latter's creation of letting robots work together to create solutions to problems they are faced with. After showing a stunned Bhang around the company building, things go from zero to sixty as a colossal and unexpected foe begins attacking the Big Apple, forcing the Golden Avenger to suit up.

Right off the bat, the characterization of Stark here is not unsimilar to that of the version portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the Marvel movies, as the Iron Man here says a few lines that can elicit a chuckle or two out of the reader, along with other characters aiding the humor through their own lines of dialogue. This characterization is reinforced when Stark sends out robots to deal with the aforementioned antagonist and uses them for another purpose, similar to the Age of Ultron movie. During the fight sequence with the villain, the fun factor rises to eleven with the reveal of not one, but two new suits for the hero, though we don't see much of the first suit. The fight plays out in a grandiose manner at first and then goes the opposite direction near the end, due to the new suits. After the main story ends, we get a teaser for what's to come with an appearance from an obscure villain and his partner in crime.

The artwork here is incredible, from the Iron Man suits to the towering villain to the backgrounds and other characters, it's all very easy on the eyes. The action sequences during the middle of the book especially stand out, along with the new suits and the double page spreads that are featured. The faces on characters can look a bit cartoonish, but that does nothing to impact the book.

Overall, this is a great start to the new Iron Man series. Though there are references to the previous run of Iron Man, you don't need to know that much to dive in here. The book works decently enough for new readers and I had no trouble following along with the story. If you want to read the most recent Iron Man comic and are unsure of this, pick this up. You will have fun reading it. more

Not bad of a start, quite lighthearted but that's not a bad thing at all. Tony Stark's name in the title for a reason and it's definitely apparent in the story. Artwork has been great and it suits the story very well.

This is alright. I dunno. I'm going to keep reading it, but nothing in this first issue was really captivating. The music thing was sort of dumb. I'm gonna stay on, but this book is kind of on a short leash.

Recent years of Iron Man books have been a little more serious in tone, but this new book seems to be a bit more lighthearted. Granted, this was only issue #1. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about that. It was hard to take seriously and if that continues I'm not sure I'll stick with it. I'll give it a couple of issues before I make further decisions though.

A bit too silly.

Don't like the art style. Also the tone and style of the cover doesn't match the inside. Never judge a book by it's cover, but you get a wrong expectations.

This was perfectly adequate.

A pretty bad start for a series I already didn't have too much faith in. Let's face it: Dan Slott cannot write complex characters, and he really shows it here, with the most cliché issue #1 in the whole Fresh Start relaunch. The art was nothing special either.

meh..
