Spencer Ackerman and Julius Ohta take over Iron Man and take on Roxxon and A.I.M. this October

Posted on by

Marvel’s Armored Avenger takes off for new adventures this October in Iron Man #1! The new hard-hitting run will be written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Spencer Ackerman in his exciting Marvel debut. Ackerman will be joined by rising star Julius Ohta.

Following the conclusion of Gerry Duggan’s Invincible Iron Man, Tony Stark is back on top after regaining control of his company, armor, and confidence. He’s determined to never hit rock bottom again, so when familiar threats like Roxxon and A.I.M. resurface, they’ll be met by an Iron Man more than willing to fight back, play dirty, and unleash every bit of his intellect to bring them down! When the best of his own technology fails him, Tony will build a brand-new armor unlike any seen in his over 60-year history. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him. The series will also debut a new Iron Monger, complete with a mysteriously-powered new armor…

Roxxon and A.I.M. team up to take on Stark Unlimited! But they’re ready for the old Tony Stark. This one? He’s a lot angrier than he used to be. Iron Man is going to war! New armor, old enemies, and unbelievable twists abound in this fresh take on a fury-powered Iron Man!

Check out the main cover by Yasmine Putri, a variant cover by Sumit Kumar, and Ohta’s new armor designs.

Hellverine #1 delivers an ok start with potential

Hellverine #1

When a Demonic Force known as Bagra-Ghul first came to earth, it brought Logan and Ghost Rider together to hunt it before it possessed Wolverine. But now, in the present day, what event will put the Hellverine back on the streets…and is he slashing his hellfire claws for good or evil? And, introducing the all-new Hellfire Warriors! Hellverine #1 does a fine job of catching readers up, but is it enough to get them to return?

Written by Benjamin Percy, Hellverine #1 kicks things off with an introduction to the character and the origin story. It’s enough that those who aren’t familiar can get an idea of what’s going on that lead to this point. But, from there, the comic jumps around as Hellverine brings wicked punishment to the twisted and guilty and the army decides to play with hellfire.

Hellverine #1 is an intriguing start whose real potential is shown in its final panel. The comic comes off as a goof of an idea that will get milked for all its worth and then be relegated to guest stars. Hellverine #1 feels like Weapon H but a different recipe. It’s not bad though. The ideas are interesting and a Ghost Rider that really delivers twisted justice that brings horrors is something that’d be intriguing. But, the comic has a tonal issue when it comes to that, never fully committing to the horror and feeling like it holds things back just a bit.

That comes visual from the art of Julius Ohta. With color by Frank D’Armata and lettering by Travis Lanham, the comics’ visuals feel like they riff bit too much on established properties at times (the Hellfire Warriors at times look like Wish Warhammer 40K Worldeaters) and the punishment never quite gets into the shock. The comic might have been helped if it went all-in as a “Red Band” comic and embraced its full Hellraiser.

Hellverine #1 isn’t a bad start and does what it needs to catching up new readers. But, overall, the comic feels like it’s holding back a bit and trying to mash together a bit too much and is a bit too predictable in where it’s going. But still, the last panel shows off an unexpected twist that might deliver a bit of depth to what’s to come.
