Long and very boring Mandarin story. And the rest is confusing. The art, so-so. ( )

The Fraction's run is great because it uses the good parts from previous runs as basis (mainly Wareen Ellis') and adds a lot of weight for the Iron Man's background. In this book we see the contruction of a credible Mandarin. One of the best books of the run. ( )

This is the next TPB volume in the Iron Man Invincible series. It has a lot of different things in it, bits and pieces. There's pretty much no Pepper Potts either, which was a total bummer. But one of the stories had Spider-Man in it, so that was a good thing.

A lot of it was sort of from the bad guy's point of view, which I wasn't crazy about.

My favorite issue of the volume was 'How I met Your Mother'. It was very funny and cut, and seemed very Howard Stark. ( )
