Iron Man

is a fictional superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character debuted in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963), and was created by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Of course we all know that. We also know that Iron Man has been featured in many ongoing series (now in Volume 5) and has been the subject of many miniseries, one-shots, specilas and too-many retcons (excluding the movies and animations). Well, Fred Van Lente (of fame) and artist Steve Kurth got together for an ongoing series set in continuity but taking place throughout Iron Man history: . The series is an attempt to explain and/or shed light on certain events in the current Marvel Universe (as in the inaugural 5-part story arc, "War of the Iron Men") or takes a closer look at certain hidden chapters in the life of billionaire industrialist Tony Stark who is, as we all know, Iron Man. This is the focus of the second 6-part story arc, "Industrial Revolution." And boy! was I wrong when I first thought this was going to be a dull and uninspired seen-it-all-before series after reading the first two issues. Lente brings a fresh perspective into things while Kurth's photo-realistic style sort of grows on you. And when it's time for the battle armors and the tech weaponry to come into serious play, the artwork pops out of the pages and all you can say is, "Wow!" Believe me when I say Iron Man Legacy really does get better with each issue. All high-quality Minutemen scans.

is a comic book ongoing series written by Matt Fraction with art by Salvador Larroca, published by Marvel Comics and starring the superhero Iron Man. It won the 2009 Eisner Award for Best New Series. Thus far there have been 22 issues in this relatively new title, volume 5 in library terms, with the first two story arcs completed and and the third ongoing. The initial story arc, "The Five Nightmares" underscores Fraction's rehabilitation of Stark as a legitimately heroic presence in the Marvel Universe without simply setting aside the character history that has brought him to this point. Fraction's treatment of Stark's multi-faceted character is intelligent and adult, without sacrificing the sense of fun and energy that makes superhero comics thrilling to read. A heck of a great way to promote the movie, too. The almost epic second story arc, "World's Most Wanted", closely ties in to the then ongoing crossover storyline. The five-part third story arc, "Stark: Disassembled" is still ongoing (currently at part 3 with issue #22) and is set to end with issue #24 due for release March 3 2010. Along with Michael J. Straczynski's , perhaps the best of Marvel's current titles, with perhaps Marvel's best creative team on board. Minutemen scans, with 2 issues, likewise of high quality, scanned by Kryptonian-Avenger (DCP).

As its solicitation states, this four-part miniseries is an in-continuity lead-in to the upcoming summer live action film (and guess what role Stan Lee gets to play this time!). Marc Guggenheim and Brandon Braga are the writers with Philippe Briones as artist and Brandon Peterson doing the covers. Whiplash of course will be Iron Man's antagonist. The last and concluding issue is set for a February 24, 2010 release.
