"STARK REALITIES" CONCLUDES!
• Now that the secret of the eScape has been revealed... =its effects on the real world will be devastating!
• Who's your favorite cast member? Tony, Jocasta, Andy, Rhodey, Bethany, Amanda, Machine Man, or the Wasp? Maybe you shouldn't get too attached. Not everyone's making it out of this story in one piece.
Rated T+
The latest issue of Iron Man digs deep into the plot and characters to deliver a very thoughtful, story-filled epilogue issue. Read Full Review
I was skeptical when I first picked up this book, I even gave the first issue a low score. I have never been more pleased to have been wrong about an assessment. Read Full Review
I know, it's a comic book - but the insides seem as muddled as the outside. Read Full Review
Finally the long story arc is done! This issue isn't one to gaga over. Art was okay and dialogue ranged from good to forced. Did enjoy seeing the Champions there, might actually start reading them now. The final battle scene felt rushed and I know Tony Stark has a big ego, could have had him work more with his team. It's great to see Jan staying on the team and hopefully she gets more time in the books. Read Full Review
Slott and Zub excel at the character beats. Yet, wrapping up the action-packed main narrative is where the problems arise. If a Big Two book can't justify the explosions that take away from the heart of the story, that's a foreboding sign. Read Full Review
There's a lot of talented people involved in Tony Stark: Iron Man, and I'm confident the book can regain its momentum quickly, but now that this "Stark Realities" arc is over, I'm definitely ready for a refresh for Tony Stark's next narrative. Read Full Review
The first multi-part story of Slott's run took six issues to arrive at an ending that feels rushed and disconnected from each bit of a crowded epilogue. Read Full Review
TONY: What happened?
RHODEY: Oh, you know, the usual...you fall, I catch you.
This was really good. Iron Man 2020 is coming and I'm actually excited about it.
Wow, coming down real hard on the side of the ship of Theseus not being the same ship after like one piece is replaced, I see.
Good wrap up!
I haven't been the biggest fan of the "Stark Realities" storyline, but I thought this issue was a perfectly good wrap up (especially considering the story's climax was in the last issue). I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens with the human drama they cued up.
