That's all we can say ... and we are referring to the cover for this issue's Iron Man. In fact, generally, Iron Man has had a long series of excellent covers from even the days of JR Jr like 80 issues ago! And this is in the age when there is supposedly a Marvel house style ... and before computer colouring ... take a look at it ...As for the interior, it is the same team and while a lot of the scenes are workmanlike, the storytelling is always smooth and when there is a need to SHOUT, the artists deliver
So how about the story you ask?
As the cover blurb states, this is a new direction and what this means is that after 14 issues post-Obadiah Stane, Tony Stark is finally ready to launch his new company from the funds he recovered inc building an over-the-top cliffside residence for himself
At the same time, the people around him are moving back into his circle of friendship ... and we get to see a bit of him trying to adjust back to normal life running all his businesses inc thinking to do an acquisition deal (yup we are back to corporate world) ...
However, as this is still a comic ... like the cover shows ... there is an over-the-top development here and Iron Man is trying to build a space station that ... supposedly help people ... as we have not been following regularly we have no idea how but that's not the issue ...
For the villain of the piece, we have AIM and this time they comes with a bio weapon and kami kaze attitude ... which in short means? Iron Man and Rhodey (suited up) got their asses KICKED MAJORLY ... and the ending ... wow what an ending ... literally knowing that you will need to read the next issue
