785. The Invincible Iron Man vol 1 #191 ... #marvel ... #ironman ... #avengers ...

The cover is just plain awesome. Even though the armor is the original gray and clunky one, it still evokes of power and awesomeness because until today in time, we humans in the real world, not in comics are still unable to don all these powerhouse suits for our normal day-to-day lives. Hahaha!

Storywise, Tony Stark is now comfortable running a tech whiz firm with mates, a brother and sister team, Erwin and Clytemnestra (yes a mouthful) ... while Rhodey who is in the Iron Man suit is slowly but surely going bonkers. It all started with him wearing the armor and getting migraines. As it gets worse, each time he talks to the team to help him, and they fix, they assured him and still not get done

And as each issue progresses, basically, Rhodey for some odd reason, has started getting self doubt because he believes that as Stark regains his old self confidence, he may want Rhodey out of the armour but not so directly telling Rhodey. And good old nasty Rhodes feels he wants to be Iron Man forever and not willing to surrender the suit. All these are in his mind, obviously

That is the main thrust of this storyline

The villain of the issue is not a major one - Vibro who appeared a few issues ago is basically being incarcerated and acting up to escape using his Vibration powers. As Rhodey is going nuts (even during the opening pages he was busy destroying plants!), events progress fast and Stark with his new team decided that he may have to step in to assist Rhodey hence the old armor ... but that is for next issue ... all we get is that Stark has taken out and dusted off the old fellow and donning it ... is it enough for us to come back for the next issue? For us, yes because we want to see not Stark slugging it out with the bad guy but with Rhodes
