Iron Man Appreciation: Welcome to the Iron Age

[cc008]

I agree. There's so much that happens in the older issues. Stories that really drive home who characters are and really set the stage for future stories.

I am new to advertently reading and collecting comic books. I feel like I am spoiled by the modern art and can't seem to get into the old ones which there are plenty off and very cheap {mostly from the 90s maybe 80s and part of large collector hardbooks etc}. Is this a common issues or will I eventually get over it? I can read them and on rare occasions I have {star trek}, its just I can't get over how dated they are, although I feel I am missing out on a lot of good stories that made heroes like ironman who they are today.

So my question boils down to, is it worth pulling through the initial slight aversion to dated artwork and experience the older iron man comics {good enough stories and arcs of ironman?}?

Get the David Michelenie/Bob Layton Omnibus. You will never go wrong with that.

Next, get Kurt Busiek/Sean Chen

Then Matt Fraction/Salvadore Larocca

so how is this going to be resolved, with Tony's MIA status, the brother Arno, Riri's school/hero career balance, etc.?

Million dollar question.

In a perfect world, Tony returns with:

The adoption being a lie.

Riri finds a home with the Champions(already happening).

Rhodey's death was hoax.

We return to the business aspect of Tony's life.

New armor.

Updated and new villains who present a challenge.

No more of the "everyone thinks Tony's a jerk/a-hole."

[cc008]

That would all be very ideal.

I would suggest picking up Len Kaminsky’s run before Fractions, but solid list.

I LOVE Kaminsky's run. Great suggestion. Is it in trade though?
