Just finished re-reading this:



Fantastic story, fantastic artwork, great characters, some of the best comic creators working on it (George Perez was like the PERFECT choice for the artist on this); everything this crossover should have been. Wish we could see more DC + Marvel stuff of this caliber.

madmax:
The Iron Man movies have encouraged me to look at the old Iron man comics and the "history". I was surprised by how good the comics are. i really want to collect them but I can barely afford my final fantasy collection :P Damn this collection addiction.

There are definitely some fantastic stories in Iron Man's history. The problem that I've always had with his comics is that they're inconsistent. Even though there are great stories, they are pretty far in-between with a bunch filler stuff in the meantime.

Some of my favorites:
-Alcoholism Storyline and Jim Rhodes takes over as Iron Man, finally culminating in the creation of the iconic red & silver armor.

-Civil War - Not specifically an Iron Man story, but Iron Man was a key player in this story. A pivotal moment in the Marvel Universe's history. A war between super-heroes. And the death of a legend.

-The Crossover - Tony Stark goes a little mad, and the Avengers and young Tony Stark from a different era must stop him.

-Extremis - Great Iron Man story involving a techno-organic virus released by terorrists and results in Iron Man having to design an entirely new armor technology to defeat them.

-Iron Man #149-150 - Dr. Doom & Iron Man must team-up to escape the medieval ages when a time travel accident happens.

I loved the Civil War stuff and a lot of the stuff involving the New Avengers leading up to it.

Actually, when I get a chance I was thinking of re-reading all my Civil War - Invasion books. Plus I need to double check if I am missing anything in my New Avengers collection.. I think I have a complete collection of the original run.

PLEASE tell me somebody else read this, here. Such an amazingly, epic, and satisfying end to an amazing (and long) run.

At first I was like "EIGHT DOLLARS?!" But then after I read it, I realized it was more than worth the entry price. (And the thickest single-issue, non-prestige format, comic I have ever seen!)

Incredible, epic story. A fantastic tribute to the character of Hal Jordan and the mythos that Geoff Johns laid down for the GL Universe.

I've got to say, in the main-story at least, Sinestro shined even more than Hal did.

And what a classy act by DC to give Geoff Johns the respect he deserves on what will likely go down as one of the greatest runs in comic history.

Any fan of Green Lantern, or super-hero comics at all, NEEDS to go out and read this comic. This is why we read comics!
