Fanlight Zone - Ken M.
Feb 25, 2026Pressure makes diamonds out of coal, but what does it do with Iron? Tony Stark is about to find out as his search for A.I.M. prisoners takes a drastic turn. Williamson doubles down on the complex persona of Stark. Carnero & Woodard provide impressive imagery to the technological backdrop. The Armored Avenger series is delivering non-stop action with no signs of slowing down! Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Feb 25, 2026Iron Man #2 builds confidently on the strong foundation of the debut by zeroing in on Tony Stark’s most self-destructive traits. Williamson leans into Tony’s impulsiveness in both romance and combat, using it to create friction with Captain America and to complicate the ongoing Madame Masque storyline. The issue moves briskly from flashback to superhero scuffle to Madripoor intrigue, all while advancing the A.I.M. plot in meaningful ways. Carnero and Woodard continue to shine, delivering expressive performances and kinetic action that sell both the spectacle and the bruises. This run is finding its rhythm early, and it is one that understands Iron Man thrives when his brilliance and his flaws are equally on display. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Feb 25, 2026Iron Man #2 delivers enough slick action, clean visuals, and forward plot motion to justify a slot in a Marvel reader’s pull list, but it does not quite earn a blind buy from anyone looking for heavier drama. If you are comfortable with Tony Stark written in full late phase MCU chatty mode, cracking jokes while the world tilts around him, the issue will probably play as a fun, fast read with an intriguing big picture hook about manufactured genius and weaponized trauma. If you want the premise to land with genuine weight, if you want to actually feel the nightmare Tony fears and see Madame Masque treated as more than a stylish chaos engine, the constant quipping and tonal lightness will likely leave you cold.

Plot Tony reveals that he has had an intimate relationship with Madame Masque, fueled by their rivalry and Masque's constant challenges to Iron Man. Tony tells her that his greatest fear is that someone with his intellect and resilience will emerge and become a villain.

Meanwhile, Norbert Ebersol/The Fixer is leading A.I.M.'s mission to use a group of brilliant young people, carefully selected by Tony Stark himself to receive the first Tony Stark Award. A.I.M. takes each of them to simulators equipped with technology developed by Mojo, Arcada, and Mysterio to create traumas and force the formation of a new Tony Stark co more

I'm making this quick because this book isn't worth my time. I haven't read a good Iron Man comic book since 2004 with Invincible Iron man Extremis. Since then they all struggle with him only being a drunk, a depressed loser, a war monger, involved in X-men crap or stuck on MCU cosplay. This comic is the Latter. We get full on RDJ imitation by Joshua Williamson ,who is a good writer but Tony banging Madame Mask? NO. Tony then being involved with Modok who is doing a comedy bit in a hot tub? Huge NO. Total cringe comment. This comic became unreadable at the moment. Joshua seems to not care about making a serious iron Man comic and wants to make a funny, do whatever bro im drunk, Rich Tony Stark RDJ Comic" from Iron man 2.
