Writer - Bendis
Art - David Marquez
-SPOILERS ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE-
Even though Secret Wars the event itself has turned into somewhat of a debacle, running way behind schedule and losing massive amounts of steam in my eyes, there are definitely some interesting books coming out of it. Invincible Iron Man wasn't one of the titles I was planning to read but after a conversation with Alec at my local comic book store I decided to give this one a try. Not disappointed. The art by Marquez is excellent and I like the redesign of the Iron Man armor. Sleek and streamlined. Also Tony Stark looks a bit less like Robert Downey Jr. which works for me.
The story put its hooks in me quickly as they bring Madame Masque in and she has acquired something powerful from A.I.M.. Tony puts finishing touches on the suit redesign, converses with his A.I. helper Friday and runs off to a dinner date. Female Thor makes a quick cameo that is used effectively for a humorous touch and the date is cut short when Friday informs Tony that Madame Masque is in play and in action. Tony flies off in pursuit and we are met with an interesting reveal on the last page that I actually won't spoil.
Great first issue in my opinion. Bendis may be suited well to write this book. I enjoyed his work on the Avengers for years and on the X-Men as well, but it could be that I prefer his writing on solo books rather than on teams. As I said I wasn't planning to read this but it is now on my buy list.
Gotta grab issue 2. Captain Creepy says BUY IT!
