Invincible Iron Man #4
Review by coltrane68:
WRITER: MATT FRACTION
PENCILS: SALVADOR LARROCA
COVER BY: GABRIELE DELL'OTTO
Price: $2.99
This is the first time I have picked up the title. I have been reading Iron Man, Director of Shield, for the past couple of years, and I have been pleased with it. It seemed hard for me to understand how a different Iron Man book would be able to show us another side of Tony Stark.
I was wrong. Fraction is doing an excellent job (at least in this issue) of exploring the characters of Tony, Pepper, Maria Hill, the workings of Stark International, and the relationships of Tony and his colleagues (the scene with Reed Richards was great). Obviously, the book has been influenced by the movie, but in this case, this is a good thing.
I am delighted to find that there is another book featuring one of my favorite all-time characters and succeeding. I would recommend this title both to Iron Man newbies and to long-time Marvel zombies.

Agreed, this is a terrific series.
Fractio's first arc was in the can before he ever got to see the movie, and he didn't have any special access, so it's only influenced by the movie in the sense that he knew Pepper and Rhodes and Obadiah Stane were going to be part of it.
