From the writer who can't write Doctor Doom comes the latest chapter in the life of the Invincible Iron Man. I didn't have high expectations for this series when it was announced and no one is more surprised than me at how much Christopher Cantwell gets right in this issue. Comparing it to his Doctor Doom ongoing series it's like they're by two different writers. The series starts by dropping everything other writers have done over the last few years to surprisingly great effect. Cantwell says he wants to bring the character back to his roots and it really does feel fresh and exciting. The pacing, cameo appearances, overarching story setup, are all much better than in Doom. This is definitely something fans of Iron Man should check out. The character is easily in my Top 5 and this is the kind of series I've wanted for him for awhile now. There are some things I don't like, mostly the use of Social Media but it appears Cantwell will be doing away with that next issue. Like with his other series, Cantwell is paired with a fantastic artist. I first saw CAFU's work on the Valkyrie: Jane Foster book and it is a sleek and solid complement to the series. I am completely surprised by this comic and If the next one continues the momentum I think I'll be reading regularly.
