Iron Man #1-2 by Kieron Gillen, Greg Land, and Jay Leisten
Maya Hansen was forced to recreate Extremis for AIM but she
managed to escape and get a warning out to Tony Stark. Knowing how dangerous
the technology is, he sets out to destroy it. Fortunately, Tony has a new suit
of armor and a traveling armory that customizes his armor at will.
Good: It’s Tony doing what he does best – overpowering the
competition with his brains and his technology. The dialogue is good and I like
when he finds a way to destroy Extremis in issue #2, robbing the bad guys of a
prolonged fight. Although I did like the way the bad guys used their own armor
to enhance their martial arts abilities.
Bad: I don’t know Tony’s relationship with Maya Hansen but
her death didn’t do much to Tony. Will anyone miss her? And Iron Man going
after people who are using his technology is a recycled plot but could be fresh
for people who haven’t been reading Iron Man off and on for about 25 years.
Deadpool #1-2 by Gerry Duggan, Brian Posehn, and Tony Moore
Someone is resurrecting dead presidents so they can get the
country back on track but the resurrected presidents want to return the country
to its former glory by killing all of the living. SHIELD can’t risk another embarrassing
photo of Captain America accidentally decapitating a president so they turn
someone the public already views as a scumbag: Deadpool. But Deadpool isn’t
subtle and he leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes.
Good: The premise is really pretty clever and the adventure
is fun, funny, and action packed. The stuff in the zoo is the best – it’s
hilarious.
Bad: I’m not a big Deadpool fan but the adventure is tailor
made for him so no complaints here.
