Invincible Iron Man 1-7
The beginning of Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca’s run. (I can’t remember how long Larroca sticks around for.) I remember really liking this, but almost none of the details. I know the Mandarin shows up, and this is where Pepper Potts becomes Rescue (so awesome!), but that’s about it.
This first arc reads a lot like a continuation of Warren Ellis’ Extremis story. (Even though a couple of years have passed IRL.) Something about the tone and language sounds a lot like him. Maybe it’s the banter of Ezekiel Stane. It’s not a bad thing, it just doesn’t read like his Iron Fist or Hawkeye runs.
Not a bad start, and Larroca’s art is pretty good too.
 |
| Fraction's proves to be quite prescient on a couple of issues. |
 |
| And this is a really neat idea. |
 |
| Which is why I was stunned to see him think that China's in charge of Taiwan. |
 |
| And there's no chance it was a mistake, because he does it again in the next issue. |
 |
| He does write a legit funny Spidey. |
