Just finished Knauf-and-son's Iron Man and wanted to see what everybody else thought of it! Although it had the hard task of following up on Extremis and tying into Civil War, I thought the run was pretty solid. "Haunted" and "Red Rain" were both particularly good IMO.

I enjoyed the Knauf's run very much. One of the best recent runs imo.

I thought it was some of his better tales but I haven't read that many, so...

At the time I remember enjoying it. I think it started out stronger than towards the end.

I gave it 5. I thought it was amazing. In my opinion I think Haunted is the greatest Mandarin story ever told. I know people who hated Tony after Civil War, but bought the Knauf's run for how incredible it was.
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark

Yeah, for all the complaining about Tony's character back then, his actual comic was dynamite. I actually haven't been able to enjoy IM since.

I like it, not one of my favorite Iron Man runs, but it's definitely worth reading and is an enjoyable run.
Saddest moment is Happy's death, it was nice to see him fight Spymaster (I think it was him) head on and winning.TRUTH, JUSTICE, HOPE
