The Invincible Iron Man, Volume 1: The Five Nightmares

I feel like this series was designed to be friendly to those who have seen the movie but not read any other Iron Man comics, which is basically me. So... hooray.

I wasn't totally clear on what was up with Pepper? Like, Maria Hill was bitching about her being Tony's secretary but Tony said he was the only one he trusted to run the company when he was away, and after Tony saved her with magic chest implant technology, she was all "Wah I don't want to be a weapon" and he was all, "Nah it's cool I got it from a battery company." But like Pepper... you work for Stark Industries? Sooo maybe you don't need to be on your high horse about weapons? OR WHATEVER?

Overall I enjoyed this. I really loved Spider-Man in this. I think I need to read more Spider-Man books because I keep loving him when he pops up in other books I read. But maybe I like him because he keeps being like, a sassy troll to whoever the main superhero is. MORE RESEARCH REQUIRED W/R/T SPIDER-MAN.

Oh and I also enjoyed Tony playing chess with Reed Richards. Huzzah.
