2.5 starsI was one of the readers that loved the first volume, so I was excited to get my hands on this one. Unfortunately, it didn't really impress me. Tony getting his personality rewritten into a more douchey version of himself wasn't (to me) a bad thing. I like seeing characters take on their worst traits...for a while. I do expect it to get fixed eventually, though.Sadly, it looks like Secret Wars is hijacking this storyline from here on out, so this seemed like a rushed jumble of unformed...

This volume felt very rushed, which it probably was so they could wind things up before Secret Wars. I would have loved to see this series given some time to run like the Superior Spider-Man was.

The reader had high hopes for this second collection of Superior Iron Man. There are two factors. First, the first collection was really good, an inspired take on a character defined by constraint into removing all morality from him. Second, the cover is a bad ass image of Pepper Potts in her Rescue armor looking down on her former boss after sanctioning a savage beat down on him. This is the context needed to understand why the reader feels that this book may have its merits but its a relative

Good, if definitely rushed, ending.

This was quite a disappointment, I enjoyed the first volume, and for the first few issues this one was going along very well, then suddenly it all ended.Over the first few issues Taylor does a good job of giving some more context, to the characters motivations, and sets some nice paths to take the story down, then out of nowhere over the space of about half an issue everything just ends. I wouldn't say it wraps up at all as their is no build up to the conclusion and no real resolution for the ch...

The artwork is the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars but the story just sucked.I've had enough attacks on Tony's character and morality, and this series just went overboard. Way to make Tony Stark a complete dick, Taylor! I do not appreciate it! If you're going to warp someone's character I expect you to not leave it open-ended.The story went no where. First off, the story with Daredevil just disappears. We spend around 3 issues with Matt trying to ruin Tony's plans for him just to lose his me...

The art was really good, but the story was a bit lackluster. Taking away all of Tony's humanity and morality is an interesting idea to play with, but I felt like the ending was really weak and I guess I need to read Secret Wars now, even though I hadn't planned on it at this moment. I was hoping for a bit more of Pepper being a badass since she's on the cover in her Rescue suit, but sadly, there was a real lack of her fighting. And where did the Daredevil storyline from the first volume go? Over...

I'm going to be honest here. It might sound overblown but I found the entire run of Superior Iron Man repugnant. It span out of what was probably the single worst crossover event Marvel have ever produced and was a hackneyed attempt to cash in on the success of Superior Spider-Man.Not only that but it's all been done before! Seriously, how many times has Tony Stark fallen from grace now? From Demon In A Bottle to Armour Wars to The Crossing to god knows what next... I would dearly love Tony Star...

Umm okay that was something.So Tony is sort of evil and we see Pepper and her contigency aka Tony's backup from 8 years ago when he was fighting the Black lama and well we see the whole drama playout and the two of them fight and omg its brutal in like a good way, its good Tony backup vs evil Tony atm and Pepper sort of his new enemy but in a good way and we see the two of them fight and what happens when she can't stop him and the consequences of that and its an epic fight, armor vs armor and w...

So this is the finale. The last big push to try and stop Superior Iron man aka douchebag Tony. This volume didn’t have that “umph” the last volume had. Kind of a bland big battle. Then it ended kind of abruptly without really showing what happened to Tony.

The first volume of Superior Iron Man was strangely, almost unaccountably good. And then this happened. I strongly suspect that Taylor felt rushed and lacked motivation to develop his story as effectively as he maybe could have, considering that Secret Wars was barreling down the pipe. Particularly because it looks as though the Superior Iron Man will be a thing of the past right out of the post-Secret Wars gate. I can see how this would screw things up royally. In volume one, Taylor seemed to b...

Tom Taylor does an admirable job in these final four issues of Superior Iron Man in wrapping up the storylines he started in the first five issues; with the advent of Secret Wars, there's a lot of pressure to leave things in a good place - otherwise you end up with things like Gerry Duggan's Hulk, which ended basically mid-story arc and had so many unresolved plotlines that it made me angry.Taylor pits Pepper Potts and an 8-year old Tony Stark AI against the Superior Iron Man and Teen Abominatio...

So the first volume was fun and a bit dumb. This one basically stays the same. I felt it was rushed, and another issue could have helped a lot, but I really enjoyed the fights in this one. Watching all the different Iron-man suits try to fuck up the new superior suit, that got me excited. I don't know how I feel about the wrap up but I guess it all gets fixed but I haven't read much of Axis so yeah. Either way good time, very silly, but if you wanna see a somewhat evil Tony doing evil shit and b...

Pepper is pretty hot in an Iron Man suit. Tony continues to fight his closest friend and the suit that houses his consciousness from 8 years before. He will discover too late the price he pays for losing his morality.Tony is trapped by his old suit that was designed to be his contingency plan. It has his consciousness downloaded into it, so it wants to help Tony to become himself again while fighting its own existential crisis. Pepper will also play an important role, but ultimately Tony is too

The conclusion to the Superior Iron Man story. Overall a bit of a weak and rushed ending. After a decent start and good character building in part 1, this is just a rush to the finale. There are some decent scenes along the way, including “Superior” Tony battling Pepper and a host of Iron Man armours.Unfortunately some of the more interesting plot lines from part 1 are lost, including Daredevil, the investigation into Extremis, and Teen Abomination. The final part of this book isn’t even part of...

It's ok, not my fav Iron Man volume

By far, this series is the best Iron Man comics I've ever read (haven't read Civil War: Iron Man yet). The two volumes are read as a chess game, plus the players are Tony Stark vs Tony Stark. And it's such a clever play with all the plot twists, turning tables, smart moves of cat-and-mouse chasing and running wild. Within only 9 issues, the characters, the tension, and the pacing have been on point. We get to see Tony become a hot, and sexy but very intelligent vigilant. He's at his utmost arrog...

I certainly enjoyed this story, but once again it feels like a story that was forced to wrap up for Secret Wars before it reached a natural stopping point. I wish the writers had been given more time to explore Tony's dark side, because it seems like with the end of Time Runs Out killing Tony and the absence of Superior Iron Man in any of the Secret Wars stuff so far, this story essentially evaporates into the ether when Secret Wars resolves and Bendis takes over Iron Man.

3.5 StarsThis continued the story of newly "evil" Tony Stark. I had a few issues with this one. First, there isn't a satisfying conclusion. I think this may have been wrapped up in the recent Secret Wars series, but I'm not sure. Second, this volume made Dardevil's appearance in volume 1 seem superfluous. I thought Dardevil was an odd choice anyway, but after this volume it really made the appearance seem unnecessary. Tony Stark's main antagonist in this volume is...Tony Stark? Long story, but i...

Not my Iron Man. This was a sort of filler Iron Man before Secret Wars. Some fine comics artists, at least three, but this is a comic book treading water.
