I'm giving this three stars because it was well written, thought it wasn't very entertaining. I'm ready to stop reading the moody Iron Man stories that came after the Marvel Civil War and get to the fun adventure of Fraction's run.
It isn't terrible, but it's boring. Too wordy, character insights all copped from better stories, and the plot makes no sense. Actually, there are two plots. They do not make sense apart and they do not make sense together. The final two pages are so mawkish they are downright embarassing.Skippable.
With Iron Hands has two central story threads. The first deals with a nuclear terrorist named Nasim Rahimov and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efforts to take him down. Rahimov has developed what are called "Thumbnail Nukes", small nuclear bombs that leave nearly zero radiation in the wake of its detonation. Serious business, obviously. The second thread involves a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Nicholas Weir, or "The Other Nick", who attempts to steal a powerful weapon developed by his agency after finally getting f...
Making Tony the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was such a dumb idea. It really should have been the dumbest of the aftermath of Civil War, but then One More Day came along to redefine worst plot development in a comic book continuity ever.Practically speaking, Tony's director status doesn't have any effect on this story, since he's out in the field Iron Manning the entire time, which is of course what we expect from Iron Man. The twin storylines hit some familiar highlights—Tony feels responsible for
There are two threads that are running concurrently in this comic. One of the threads is that of a disgruntled S.H.E.L.D. agent and the other is that of a former friend who is driven to madness and in each instance, in a somehow contrived way, Tony Stark is blamed and he feels guilty. Matters, of course, as they do, come to a head simultaneously, and Stark uses his Iron Man suit and persona and saves the day in this uncompelling tale, solution by Iron Man. It is clichéd. The artwork is uneven, s...
This was one comic book I was very disappointed in. I was excited to read about Iron Man, but this story did not live up to my expectations. It was jumpy and felt like even the writers didn't know what they were going to do next that they themselves were just going with the flow and writing down whatever came to mind. The story didn't make sense and I should have just left this one on the shelf and picked out something else that would have been better worth my time.
Really not as good as the Knauf portion of the Director of SHIELD run; it wasn't even that great of a story. Didn't have anything to do with the plotlines that the rest of the run had been about or even the themes of Tony as Director; it was just a little story with a one-off villain. Go read Haunted instead.
Iron Man has become a vehicle for the moral implications of building bigger and badder weapons and the highly probably consequences of such bloodthirsty hubris. This story pits Tony Stark against an old friend who shares the same ideals, and it is a weird balance of one or the another trying to minimalise the killing. At the end of it all, hard decisions are made and regrets are remembered.

Two interesting storylines make this a convoluted book. At first you think, these happenings are related... then again not and then you think it is too nice to have the one storyline help solve the other one. There are cool moments with a nice sense of wonder, but both new enemies would have been worth a deeper look at in order to lift their importance as adversaries... now they only serve as "one-hit-villain of the arc" (and not even that as they have to share the time in the spotlight).
