Tony Stark reclaims the iron mantle! But being “dead” has taken its toll on his body, and Tony must take extreme measures to keep being Iron Man. What does this mean for James Rhodes, who wore the armor in Tony’s absence — and who is furious that his “best friend” lied to him? Tony must unravel the Controller’s conspiracy, battle the Technovore aboard a Stark satellite, and face MODAM and Omega Red while investigating a dangerous deal with AIM. But who — or what — is the Face Thief?! Plus, celebrate Iron Man’s 30th anniversary with tales spanning his heroic career…including the classic debut of Squirrel Girl! And dive deep into Tony’s creative process with the Iron Manual!

Iron Man Epic Collection, Vol. 18: The Return of Tony Stark Reviews

  • Anthony Wendel

    I'll admit this review is a little biased. This collection contains the issue where I came in as an Iron Man fan and started reading the regular series. It features moments I still think about, such as Tony's work to reclaim his life after faking his death. It also features some special issues including the first appearance of Squirrel Girl. Considering how epic a character she went on to become that should make this a 5-star review alone but I'll meet in the middle and make it a four.

  • Simon

    A mixed bad this time around, I found the issues of the ongoing series very uninvolving. They just are not that exciting at all, maybe the fact that there was only a few issues of the ongoing series in this collection is part of the problem.
    That said i actually really enjoyed the one off stories that were reprinted from the Quarterly(?) Marvel Superheroes. Not being constrained by the continuity like the normal series they were much more enjoyable, and fun, to read

  • Derrick Ranostaj

    Very disappointed with this trade. If feels padded out. I wish they would have left out the back up marvel superhero stories with Iron Man. The art is pretty bad and the stories have nothing to do with the current story of Tony coming back from being "dead." At least they reprinted the hard to find Iron Manual.

  • Jordan Baker

    The best part was the manual in the back with tons of info about Stark’s suits and tech. The stories in this one left a lot to be desired.
