Woof. I want to like this a little more than I do -- it's definitely an improvement on the first part - but I'm just not into this whole "let's go in and add a bunch of crazy stuff to Tony's family history". The twist ending feels like it got thrown in there to satiate people who'd complain otherwise that nothing changed in the status quo. At least Land's moved on, I guess. ( )

Marvel has got me hooked. After years of eschewing superheroes, I'm now reading everything the library gets. I've no judgement at all, I'm loving these, and lying on the sofa trading them off with the daughter. We're planning to visit the state comic con this fall.

Library copy. ( )

I for one, am especially glad that The Secret Origin of Tony Stark storyline is over, because it was hardly interesting enough for two books. The first volume wasn't half bad, but this one did little to interest the reader. It's a shame considering how well Marvel did with Iron Man in the film series. ( )
