Like the review said. The Force Works books are what muck this collection up both in artwork and writing. I've hard Kaminski had difficulty working with Abnett and Lanning to tie the story together and I can believe that. <br /><br />It's still kind of fun, and one of the better Mandarin stories as he's at his most menacing and dangerous here and the animated series did an adaptation that's arguably better than the actual book.<br /><br />This is probably the weakest moment in what was a pretty solid 90's run for Iron Man and only a few issues before Marvel's editors handed down a mandate to completely obliterate the character. It's a last hurrah for Iron Man's first volume.Gunstar Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776555982822413634noreply@blogger.com
