Iron Man 3 Junior Novel by Dbg
Adventure
This is a ridiculous book, which should be obvious from the title alone. Sadly, however, it's a pale imitation of what could have been an amazing comic. It's a mix of Lovecraftian horror and "the old mad occult scientist" seeking immortality tropes mashed up with a Batman detective story and Superman randomly punching stuff. It never rises above the tropes to truly horrific or interesting. And there are some nitpicky things that bothered me such as Batman slaying vampires! (which seems out of character for him as he is opposed to killing and vampires after all are former humans). But, if you accept this as the B-movie script it is, it's fairly entertaining. It's basically Hammer Horror meets the DC Universe. Corny, fun, but not great.… (more)
As an easy reader, I suppose this works. This Level 2 actually feels like a level 2 where as Disney World reading normally is a higher level than is marked on the book. And the story it’s a well-known story it’s just how it’s transposed for the younger audience. It isn’t my favorite as a Star Wars book, but for the earliest readers it does work.
The art was great, but small/big, short/tall, mean/scary simplifications were annoying.
