Invincible Iron Man, Volume 1: Reboot is a book I bought for my nephew for his 10-year birthday, along with Eoin Colfer's Iron Man: The Gauntlet. I decided to read it, myself. It's basically a five-issue arc where Victor Von Doom teams up with Tony Stark to chase down Madame Masque, who is trying to gain ultimate power by assembling the most powerful devices in the world.
I found Doctor Doom's turn toward the light side of the Force somewhat interesting. Of course, Infamous Iron Man, Issue #2 comes out in two days, and it details how Doctor Doom becomes the new Iron Man after Tony Stark apparently dies in Civil War II. Before this death, he helps Riri Williams become the new Ironheart, so there are two people running around with Iron Man suits.
Tony Stark is an interesting contrast to Batman. Both of them are geniuses, both of them are billionaires, and both of them fight crime. I see Batman more rooted in the detective side of law enforcement, while Iron Man is more into the tech side of it. Batman often goes rogue, and is a vigilante figure, while Iron Man always kowtows to the government, much like Superman or Captain America, although the latter was on the other side of Civil War I.
