Iron Man #11

At this point, I've learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to this run of Iron Man, and it's resulted in one of the most rewarding reading experiences Marvel is providing right now. Read Full Review

This little side story to Cantwell's ongoing Iron Man run has once again highlighted the positives of this series. Character is key, and it informs each and every decision in the book. This series ultimately is about one man and his complicated relationship with his friends and his world around him, and ultimately thats why the book will end up talked about for years to come. This book has become the modern standard on Tony Stark and has absolutely brought him into this new Golden Age of comic book storytelling. Its nothing short of spectacular. Read Full Review

Unzueta delivers some beautiful art throughout this issue. There are so many great visual moments to be had, but the character is the focus and those moments drew me in. Read Full Review

This is a good issue that wraps up Iron Man's side adventure while setting things up for the eventual confrontation with Korvac. Iron Man #11 packs in a lot of action, human moments, and a larger purpose as Tony Stark seeks to find himself. Read Full Review

I love Iron Man, and I was a fan before the movies. I have been a fan for a long time, so when I say this, I say it with love. Tony Stark is an egotistical douche. And I'm sick of people acting like he's not. That's part of the charm of the character. Seeing him called on it by a *woman*, or if a few of you prefer, a *femoid*, doesn't faze me. The art does a good job looking and feeling like CAFU. In fact, at some points, I assumed that the credits page was a misprint, and CAFU was actually doing the art.

My (and a lot of other reader's) introduction to Iron Man comics was the Kurt Busiek/Sean Chen run, I dont think I'd describe Tony as being an "egotistical douche" in that one.

Yeah, that's a good run and it shows a renewed Tony Stark with a purpose after... so much 90s mess. I'm looking at this on a macro scale. Different runs have slightly different characterizations. But what this current run does is combine the egotism with the better side of Tony's character. My point here wasn't that Tony is *only* an egotistical douche, but simply that it is part of his character going back decades and a part of his charm.

The Busiek/Chen run probably has the most selfless interpretation of the character, but we can't cherry pick which versions of a character we like, and then vehemently disregard any other interpretation, especially when it's not a hard left turn for the character by any means. I was frustrated that that's what so many people were doing in the reviews for this issue.

Although, let's be honest, that response probably had little to do with Tony Stark's characterization, and a whole lot more to do with Patsy Walker, a female character, being too strong willed and acting as the voice of reason for our main character. I could be nice and say it's because, as Tony is the protagonist, any derision directed at him and his goals makes us dislike the source of that derision. Or I could say it's because people don't like strong women in fiction, due to their... biases.

If you think about it too hard its got some holes with its logic but, overall another enrertaining read compared to how this series started. I did like mostly everything except the Hellcat parts. Shes just becoming so forceful with her dialogue towards Tony and its just annoying at this point.

A good issue, even if a bit predictable, but I keep disliking how Cantwell insists on painting Tony as this ultimate douche just so he can keep his teacher's pet, Hellcat, moralizing to him. Also, a huge minus whenever Cafu isn't on the book.

It feels strange to see a review of yours that does not talk about communism or the left

Merlyn - Aug 18, 2021

I'm sorry it bothers you so much that I expose the left's cliches and lies. I would tell you to deal with it but since you come on my reviews complaining about that a lot, I guess that's not on the table. I would just like to point out your comment is disingenuous, there are several reviews of mine that don't deal with that.

Merlyn - Aug 18, 2021

Why does it bother you, though, that I talk, especially about communism, since you brought it up? Do you think it's a good system that shouldn't be attacked or did the many, many countries that suffered under communist regimes convinced you of its stupidity? Just curious.

Not the best book coming out right now, but the one I look forward the most

I wish we could get back to the main story.

Iron Man gets away from his castaway utopia after exposing the rotten secret beneath it -- and after it's developed into a clunky metaphor for Korvac's plan. The prose is good and the art is fantastic. I hope it doesn't sound backhanded if I say Mr. Uzueta is giving CAFU a real run for his money. The big-picture plot gives me pause, though; I'd wager a modest sum that Tony's actually lost in a morphine dream and Patsy is just checking on him in a sweaty spaceship bunk, not psychically reaching out across the stars. In fact, I'd actually prefer that to other outcomes; I really don't like a "God minus one" entity like the Living Tribunal stepping in to meddle with Tony Stark. Also, way to really wear your inspiration on your sleeve with th at title, Mr. Cantwell. more
