Iron Man: Armor Wars Prologue is followed by Iron Man: Armor Wars. If you are a fan of Iron Man, it is a good run and if you are a fair-weather fan like myself, it still is interesting. The issues are like many issues of the period and rather more episodic than modern comics which isn’t necessarily a bad thing (I rather enjoy it). The primary reasons I read this collection is for ’80s nostalgia and to set-up Armor Wars which I never actually read. The issues involving the Ghost have jumped over the years especially following a new Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp. With a nice design and powers that mimic both Kitty Pryde and Sue Storm, the character is pretty powerful and does a lot of damage in the few issues he appears…but it feels a bit squandered. I do like the Ghost but I also feel that Marvel misused the character. It is times like these I kind of wish that aspects of the character would resurface like his fight with alcoholism since it is a lifelong battle and he’s under so much pressure…but alas this volume is largely just Stark “superheroing”. It shows Stark growing a bit more paranoid and pushed to his limits. You have A.I.M., the Ghost (and Spymaster), Justin Hammer, and an agent of Hammer named Force needing help. The collection is largely a series of attacks on Stark Enterprises. The Iron Man movie really helped me like the character a bit more so it is interesting to go back and read some his classic adventures with Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal in mind. The snarky playboy attitude of Tony Stark combined with the tech aspect is kind of off-putting to me, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have fun reading his title on occasion. I always found most “technology” based heroes the least compelling, and Iron Man is Marvel’s biggest hero in that sense. I admit that I’m not the biggest Iron Man fan. ![]() But if it's up to AIM, they'll be headed straight down.to burn up on re-entry Even with one Armored Avenger down, the other's still up for adventure overseas and underwater - but Roxxon Oil's backing a.
