I do not have experience reading comics but I think is good. I liked it a lot!! The phrases are amazing. The best ones are of four the second specially and also the last one. My god I LOVE TONY STARK (and comics, so ♡ ♡ ♡)
Iron Man comes across as the bad guy in Mark Millar's Civil War, and this book tries to cast a more heroic light on him. Still, it's hard for the writers to fully get behind his stance and say "yeah, let's all surrender our freedoms!"The book starts and ends with good one-shots examining the relationship between Iron Man and Captain America. I'm not a huge Avengers fan, so it was nice to see that these characters, which have been stalwarts of the team for over 40 years, do have some history. The...
The Avengers avenge, X-Men defend, and Fantastic Four explore.
4.5 starsI think the biggest thing keeping me from rating this five stars is because how short it is. Because this was great. I would argue that it was the best story in the arc.I'll go ahead and say that I'm anti-registration, but I can see the pros and cons to both sides. This book did so well in showing how Tony Stark feels about all of this that is happening. He makes Tony Stark human in this volume. After (view spoiler)[ Captain America dies in prison (hide spoiler)], Bendis writes this am...
The artwork is gorgeous in this collection of four stories from a civil war storyline that Marvel must had done in the past, which I must admit I have no prior knowledge of. Not that that mattered for me, as I was reading it to get more of an insight into the characters of Iron Man, Tony Stark, and Captain America, Steve Rogers and their 'friendship'. What? I am a slasher, after all ;-)!The first story 'Rubicon' sees Tony and Steve on opposite sides of the war against superhero registration, wit...
This is a critical piece of the Marvel Civil War story. For the most part, the writers involved convey the twisted dilemma Iron Man faces. The dramatic events at the end of Civil War help set the tone. Recommended.
This was a nice surprise, pretty good and lets you see Tony's side of things in a better light than the main event. The first portion is Cap and iron man talking man to man. Just trying to understand where they came from, there times as friends, and then why they are doing this fight and if it's for the right reasons. The middle part is the regular iron man issues, which probably fit better if reading the entire run. Last but not least is the capture of Captain America and also Tony's final fare...
Marvel's Civil War crossover event is harrowing enough to begin with, but this one really made it personal for me. It's just... ow. More than anything else I've read in the Marvel comics, this shows the strength and passion of the friendship between Steve and Tony. 'The Confession' in the last part is especially heart-wrenching, but the desperate need both of them have to prove their point to the other and bring them round to their point of view... ow, ow, ow.It's also helpful for understanding
The book that launched a thousand Cap/Iron Man shippers.
Can't wait to see the movie.
Want the short review? Tony Stark is a dick.This is the feeling you get from all of the stories collected here, even if the idea is to give you Tony's perspective on the Civil War. It reads like the ramblings of a man who has to defend his actions even though he knows they are wrong.When Happy Hogan has to give you a half-assed answer to the question "am I wrong?" and that's the strongest thing you can go with--you're part human, you know how we feel--then your issue is in big trouble.Tony flail...
I initially felt a lot of sympathy for Iron Man while reading this one. After all, Tony Stark isn’t a villain, and he genuinely thinks that he’s doing the right thing while feeling guilty that he’s causing a lot of trouble for friends of his. Essentially he’s isolated and despised for doing what he sees is the only thing that will prevent the superhero community from being utterly destroyed so you can’t help but feel bad for him. But then Iron Man gets into it with Spider-Man, a guy he manipulat...
Another comic I picked up for the emotionally resonant reason of “the library had it.” There were some good things about it. The first virtually stand-alone story, which is almost entirely about Tony Stark/Iron Man’s relationship with Steve Rogers/Captain America, was my favorite: you got a good sense of the dynamic between those two guys (and in my case, a new interest in the idea of seeing them make out). The other issues included in this volume had strong points, too, but the whole thing was
As an old Iron Man fan, I really enjoyed the first story presented here - basically it's Tony Stark and Steve Rogers talking and going over their old battles. Despite not regularly reading superhero comics for about 20 years (but still taking a peak once in a while) I remembered most of the incidents between the characters. I was impressed at how these events are recontextualised for the Civil War arc - they didn't change the originals, but managed to fit them into a wider context in a believabl...
Overall Rating: 4.5/5This is definitely my favourite book out of all the tie-in Civil War comics, especially with the Captain America & Iron Man specials. After reading the Iron Man tie-in issues, I have so much feels for Tony, it's absolutely excruciating. Tony Stark simply wanted what's best for them, America, & the world. The Cap didn't share his views. The discovery that was revealed in Civil War: Frontlines #11 about Tony quite literally broke my heart. Everything that had been said & done
Civil War: Iron Man is set smack bang in the original Civil War arc and adds a lot of character wallop to the proceedings as it explores Captain America's and Iron Man's friendship and how it has come to the situation it has with them both firmly entrenched on opposite sides of the conflict! :DIt really adds a lot to the overall tone of the Civil War as these two old friends meet as they always have but with both knowing what is the likely outcome and you can feel how desperate they both are to
I think I echo what others have said in their reviews when I say how personal this particular collection makes the Civil War to the reader. I may or may not have cried five times or thereabouts while reading this...The scenes with Tony and Steve are incredibly heart-breaking as they both remember their friendship, their partnership - the good times that can never be again. And during "The Confession"... Never ever have I known Tony Stark to cry, except here. And I cried with him.I honestly have
This book is has all the things I hate about modern superhero comics. The book is a collection of a few disjointed comic book issues that take place during the Civil War story arc Marvel was doing a few years ago. The problem is that each individual issue is completely unrelated to the other issues. There is no overarching story except that Iron Man is kinda mad at Captain America and vice versa. What's worse is that nothing gets resolved in the end. I guess Marvel expects you to buy every comic...
MAJOR SPOILER UPCOMINGThis hurt me so much. It's basically everything I've been saying about Tony from the start. He thought he was right, he fought for what he believed was right. He was trying to save the most lives he could, and he stuck to his convictions. But it didn't matter. No matter how hard he tried, it all went sideways anyway. He did what Cap told him to, he stuck by what he believed was right, and he got destroyed because of it. And in the end...It wasn't worth it.
This one hurts.
