Iron Man: Demon In A Bottle TPB

Product Information

Overall, I believe that this is a very good comic and an essential read for every fan of Iron Man or superhero comics in general. Latta of Pulp and Dagger praised Michelinie for "deliver[ing] smart writing and plausible, grown up characters that are a pleasure to read and a rich tapestry of plot threads" and "avoid[ing] the preachy, holier-than-thou route, and instead just tell[ing] a story that happens to concern a costumed super-hero getting a little. The superhero parts of the book are not that remarkable when first reading until you think about the fact that it all goes on so long because Iron Man was too wasted to realize what was happening until it was nearly all too late.

Iron Man faces his most untouchable foe in criminal industrialist Justin Hammer and his literal army of super villians!and that the one and a half issues that ACTUALLY deal with the "demon in the bottle" (sure there is foreshadowing, but to describe this collection as a whole as dealing with alcoholism is just plain false) were emotionally gripping and character-enriching.

Coincidentally, Namor is also there and he has been saved by the only inhabitant of the island, a man who left the big city with his wife, to live in this island by themselves. What I didn't realize is that it's mainly the one issue (the last in this collection) that deals with it. Though I'm not a graphic artist, I'm fascinated by the obvious artistic journey JRJR has been on, and I imagine art students and future comic artists would benefit from observing it too. D. while Iron Man is being targeted by the man who would eventually become his biggest foe, Justin Hammer (this story is his first appearance in Marvel Comics). Este tomo recopila 9 revistas de la colección del personaje, historias que llevan al mítico "Demonio en una botella".

My favourite issue was the last one however, I don't think that it would have been quite as good if we hadn't seen Tony's struggle.

In that issue, Tony Stark, overweighted from all the work and the pressure, starts drinking more and more, leading into him going out drunk as Iron Man and causing problems, instead of fixing them. Stark's alcoholism was revisited in later storylines, and remains a defining element of the character. I've seen a lot of comics address addiction issues through sidekicks and friends of sidekicks, so it's great to see Marvel had the guts to use one of their biggest stars. At the ceremony, Iron Man's armor again malfunctions, striking the ambassador with a repulsor blast, killing him.Whether its the Avengers' butler, Jarvis, talking to himself about his mother's bread pudding recipe, or the usually articulate and ultra-agile Beast juggling poorly on the back of a couch and saying things like "kinda spooky", the little elements of the Marvel universe made me smile every time. From the boardroom to the battlefield, Iron Man faces a foe like never before in the form of criminal industrialist Justin Hammer. This is one of the most famous Iron Man stories ever written for many people and the crazy thing is that the thing it is most known for and justly remembered for stays in the background until the superheroics is out of the way. This time he has to face his worst enemy yet, cause it's an enemy that money and the iron suit cannot help him defeat. It's the first Iron Man comic I've ever read and I believe that it's a great place to start with the characters, because it dedicates an entire issue in retelling Iron Man's origin.
