And as to the 1998 Iron Man series? NOW we’re talking!
GREAT first issue, a long time coming for Tony fans. A great writer who knew what made Tony tick, a dynamic artist, a return to the status quo…but not quite! That issue really set things up for a stellar (and not talked about much) run for Iron Man. I was very excited after reading it.
All that and Rumiko Fujikawa, Tony’s best love interest ever!
Glad to hear it, Riv86672! But yeah, this run hardly gets any press. Nevertheless, it's still a personal favorite (XD)

It might be cheating a little, as it's not the first of a series, but it is a number 1.

"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

What made that run stand out was the approach that Busiek took. He implied that Tony merely traded in his alcoholism for another addiction, being Iron Man! Originally Posted by K7P5V

Iron Man

Also Sean Chen's art was crisp and that was the best looking version of the Iron Man armor as well.Last edited by Anthony W; 12-20-2023 at 09:10 PM.
