Glad they left Pepper Potts out of the mix in favor of another character. He meets Rhodey, kind of what you expect him to be doing as a kid genius. I did enjoy that he valued Tony over everything else even his business, as usually it's the other way around, I definably prefer this interpretation of him.Īs for Tony it doesn't really focus on him until the last 2 issues, where he actually starts to develop as a character. You'd expect him to be a cut throat businessman but he's quite softly spoken and very empathic towards people. For what it is it's really interesting, especially the cheating and war aspect. This is a very good story but not really an Iron Man story, it main revolves around Howard Stark developing the perfect amour and Tony Starks birth. Weird choice that they used this for the cover, he doesn't have metal limbs either.

Sometimes I couldn't tell what was supposed to be happening in a picture, or sequence. Like, were the nano-armor + regeneration superpowers Marvel's idea, or Card's?

This is the Iron Man legend unlike any I've ever heard before. Not sure what else to say about it besides that. But since it's all one story, I'll just review it all at the same time. Like, were the nano-armor + regeneration superpowers Marvel's ide Read this as Ultimate Iron Man, Vol. ~ It makes me wonder how much creative license they gave Card for the writing of this story.
All in all, it was readable as a one-off standalone, but in the bigger scheme of things I could have lived without ever reading it.more The storyline was obvious, if not weak, though it was wrapped up with somewhat of a disappointing conclusion, and Tony and Howard are so not how they are supposed to be with one another. This was my first time venturing into the Ultimate universe and I'm pretty certain it'll be the last.
