![]() ![]() ![]() Gillen took Tony's playboy tendencies to their crudest extremes, while ignoring Tony's actual character. The vast majority of women that show up on the page are there as props, not as people. That it doesn't happen more often is solely due to the book being mostly Tony, most of the time. It's really irritating when Pepper and Tony are trying to have a serious conversation, in panels framed where we see Pepper's body, but not her face. I also got tired of the how sexualized all of the female characters are. Consistency also seems to be an issue: the Tony Stark in issue one doesn't quite look like the Tony Stark of issue three. Land seems to have a hard time drawing convincing expressions, especially on the female characters. That said, I did take issue with some aspects of this book, namely the art. I already had that, but you could probably pick up everything you needed to know from this collection. You don't need much canon background, other than a passing knowledge of Extremis. ![]() On one hand, I do appreciate that the storyline is self contained. ![]()
