As cool as the idea of Iron Man running S.H.I.E.L.D., I'd rather see adventures outside of that.  Tony Stark as a government bureaucrat  just isn't that exciting to me.  You can't really have him go on espionage missions (like he did when he went to Madripoor).  That just doesn't make sense.  As a high ranking dude in office, he shouldn't be placing himself in danger, no matter how well he can handle himself on his own with armor.  He just seems so stuffy as the S.H.I.E.L.D. director.  I don't know how but Nick Fury just always made it look cool, even wearing one of those blue jump suits.  I really really liked the classic Iron Man stories.  The current ones have just been so far from those. 

At least with Invincible Iron Man, things seem a little different.  I guess with the numerous recent Iron Man series, they were bound to get it right.  Maybe it's because we're all still on the sugar-rush after seeing the movie.  The movie is helping these to sell out.  So make sure you don't miss out.


Invincible Iron Man Continues to Rocket Off and Soar High
 
This summer’s biggest blockbuster super-hero continues to launch into action in his new ongoing series! So, get your energy shields and repulsor rays ready and suit up for The Invincible Iron Man #3!  Ezekiel Stane, the son of Iron Man’s notorious arch-nemesis, Iron Monger, is out for revenge for the death of his father.  After the jaw dropping conclusion of the last issue, critically acclaimed writer, Matt Fraction (The Immortal Iron Fist, upcoming Uncanny X-Men) thrusts the Golden Avenger against a threat in which he has never faced before! With breath-taking art from super-star artist, Salvador Larocca (Uncanny X-Men), Iron Man may not live long enough to see the end of this exciting storyline!
 
Entertainment Weekly raves, “Fraction manages to transcend clichés. He finds his footing amid issue 2, where he delivers a one-two punch of both escalating cliffhangers and winky wit.…You get the feeling Fraction just may get a similar sort of thrill from penning this book.”
 
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on The Invincible Iron Man as the series continues to sell out quickly!  Marvel has already gone back to press on the first two issues as fans crave to blast off and ride the Iron Man excitement.
 
Will Ezekiel Stane succeed in trying to destroy his sworn enemy, Iron Man? Has Iron Man finally met his match?  Find out the answers to these questions and more in The Invincible Iron Man #3!
