![]() This Tony also doesn't have that flippant arrogant ego about him that Robert Downey Jr brought to the character. ![]() Something else that you don't find in the modern stories is that he actually saves innocents, even during a battle. He comes off as both believable and likable. What I like about this team's version of Tony Stark is that he is a human being and even though he is a multi-millionaire and superhero, he still makes mistakes, still has bad luck, still has preferences when it comes to food or clothes, just like the average person. There's quite a bit of dialogue which I know can be a turnoff for modern readers, however it is more the characters speaking than huge captions explaining things. Layton's pencils are ok, but I find he's a much better inker with a nice clean lines, with well balanced lights and shadows.įor the stories, keep in mind that it is written in the late 70's/early 80's. One thing I noticed is that IM always looks shiny and metallic (despite the lack of digital coloring and effects that are used nowadays.) JRJR is still one of the best storytellers in the business, meaning panel to panel, I can always follow what it is happening. ![]() ![]() There's something about Layton's inks on top of John Romita Jr's pencils that appeals to me. I'm familiar with this team and perhaps it is nostalgia, but I really like this writing/art team. This volume covers the Iron Man stories right before I started reading it regularly. ![]()
