The art byВ Cafu and colorist Frank D'Armata is great, pairing realistic lines with a dark, slightly painterly color palette. It feels less like an Iron Man comic and more like someone who read an Iron Man comic telling you a rushed version of what happened. Why is Tony Stark tweeting? Why is he tweeting the way he's tweeting? The scenes are meant to show that he is disconnected, but there's very little insight into what has driven him to act this way and, instead, a lot of commentary on the way he's acting. It feels almost as if they were written a time traveler from the 90s who was allowed to scroll through the apps for thirty seconds apiece. The interactions on social media, both what Tony himself posts and what other people write in the replies, feel so far from actual Twitter and Reddit interactions. Tony's tweets string together multiple id-page scene changes, and conversations told through dialogue captions, creating the feeling that this issue isn't a story but rather a collection of strange scenes that, when put together, are narratively shapeless. The reader is given a boring montage of Tony going through every aspect of his life, having a boring conversation after a boring conversation at a breakneck pace. Instead, Tony is already mid-midlife crisis as the issue starts. This concept could work well for Iron Man, one of the most complex characters in the Marve universe, but unfortunately, there is no inciting incident.

He feels disconnected, purposeless, aloneвЂ¦ and he wants to change that. This Iron Man relaunch follows Tony Stark as he enters a midlife crisis.
