Superior Iron Man, Vol. 2



Superior Iron Man, Volume 2 continues the Superior Iron Man story.  In Volume 1, Tony Stark becomes slightly less than altruistic.  In Volume 2, he turns full-on evil, Pepper Potts notices, and she fights back, unleashing Tony Stark's conscious stored from eight years earlier.  So, there are two Tony Starks, the one with the body and one using an old Iron Man suit, and the two go at it.  Caught in the middle of everything is Jamie, the green-skinned 13-year-old monster from the previous volume.  So, they battle it out.  The old Tony vs. the evil Tony vs. Pepper Pots.  I knew this series ended after nine issues, so I was aware that some resolution was coming, but I was nowhere near guessing what that resolution might be.

I like the evil Iron Man, and although I haven't read much of the "Superior" line, I am very roughly familiar with the story.  I could go on and on about the linework, the lettering, and whatnot, although that would be somewhat difficult since there is a rotating cast of artists on this series.  Instead, I'm simply going to say this.  If you read Superior Iron Man, Volume 1, you HAVE to read Superior Iron Man, Volume 2.  If you haven't read either, you should probably read both.
