    Iron Man is a dick.

    Spoilers ahead.. BEWARE!

    The basic run down is this.. So Tony decides he wants to check out a pyramid in Egypt. Cool so far. So what does he do first? Talk to guy about getting into it. He says "We can't really.." Tony responds with "IRON MAN COULD!" Yes, Tony Stark is a real genius isn't he.. Little while later he has to plug himself into the wall. Yeah, okay.. a little silly now, but whatever. Afterwards as Iron Man he gets into the pyramid and sees the mummy he was looking for. Next he runs away so that he can visit the pyramid as Tony.. except GASP! The mummy is gone! Do we get a neat crime mystery? No, we get something SO much better.. apparently the Mummy is alive and wants to go back in time with Tony. What does Tony do? He goes gladly. And then double crosses the crap out of the reborn Mummy for a shot with Cleopatra. I mean it's a bit more complicated than that but the funniest part is that that truly is the gist of this story.

    The art is REALLY good, Don Heck draws a great Iron Man.

    4/5.

Will he charm the legendary beauty Cleopatra? Will he be able to escape the past and get back to the present? Find out all this and more in this issue!Now look in my review of TOS #43 I said “Iron Man does not feel right fighting mystical underground civilisations”, and I stand by that here. Iron Man doesn’t ...

      So you know how Tony Stark is a total playboy? Well, this month, why don't we have him square off against the beauty of Cleopatra? Eh? Eh!Well, it's not as bad as it sounds. No, really; it's not. Having a meagre fourteen pages to fill, the action flows nicely and the overall time-travel ancient Egypt storyline is quirky but definitely has a certain charm about it. That being said, this one seems like a step in the wrong direction not just for Marvel, but Iron Man too. Sure, we get reminded that ...
