To be human or not to be human. Tony Stark Iron Man #14 touches some realistic issues while feeding the imagination and theoretical subplots. Read Full Review
Slott and Zub are still carrying this redefinition of Tony into the next chapter by reminding readers of what is left behind. The very thoughtful use of Captain Marvel as a cosmic powered Jiminy Cricket centers Tony on what defines him at present, his death (at Carol's hands) and resurrection. Everything else is just icing on a very substantial cake. This run is changing the game on monolithic icons in the comics landscape. Jason Aaron did it with Thor: God of Thunder,Kelly Sue DeConnick did it withCaptain Marvel,and Jonathan Hickman is about to do it with House of X. We are witnessing another changing of the guard and Tony Stark:Iron Man is right in step with the changes. Read Full Review
I do love how we get forward progression this month, but a lot of what we get is a bit forced to get there. The set up with Arno is really good and there is potential for a great villain here. The art was solid and I'll check out the next issue to decide whether I'll continue reading the series. Read Full Review
Tony Stark: Iron Man #14 sings another song of Tony's hubris, concentrating again on the noisy superheroics required to slam another technological Pandora's box before the bad guys can pilfer it. The superheroics get a fine visual treatment and they're scripted well. The overall tune is getting repetitive, though, and I don't think mine is the only finger inching toward the "skip" button.

Tony Stark: Iron Man has always been a complicated animal trying to carry a dozen subplots through a mixture of standalone issues and multi-issue arcs. Sometimes that format works; sometimes, like in #14, the mess is more evident. But with such a vibrant creative team, it's a charming mess. Read Full Review
Dan Slott and Jim Zub team up Iron Man and Captain Marvel again with unfortunately mixed results. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed this. Tony and Carol are both written really well here.
It's nice and a Slott comic to the core although I don't know where Zub comes in so that's also a positive. Schiti is great in his work every time. I somehow can't get my self to stick with this book though. War of The Realms didn't help at all.
"there no clever solution of being alcoholic! You can’t just fix this with a snap of your fingers!"
This is fine, I dunno, I don’t love it?
It looks pretty, but it's frustratingly aggressive in its refusal to dig into any of the philosophical points it raises. Instead it throws us more sound-and-fury fight scenes, of which this title has had plenty. (And the robo-dad-jokes at the Uncanny Valley are @#$% painful.)
