Invincible Iron Man


I have been reading the new Invisible Iron Man series. The series is up to the seventh comic book. I have to say that I am impressed with the way Marvel presents Iron Man and the story to the readers. This is not even mentioning the art work. The art work has been great. The book is written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Salvador Larroca. The Iron Man movie set this series up. The series so far is about Ezekiel Stane. Ezekiel is another name with a religious background. Ezekiel Stane is the son of the Iron Monger. The Iron Monger appeared in the Iron Man movie as the villian. Ezekiel Stane has a vendetta for Tony Stark after the death of his father, Obadiah Stane. 

Ezekiel created a secret society to kill Tony Stark.  Ezekiel supports the organization financially. Not only does Ezekiel have money, he also has intelligence. He bought some of Iron Man's materials from the black market and created his own Iron Man. Ezekiel attacks some super hero's and strategic locations using his Iron Man suit and weapons. Tony Stark is very upset because he knows that his technology is killing these people. Ezekiel attacked one building where Tony's not girlfriend but girlfriend Pepper was in attendance. Pepper had schrapnel in her chest. The only way she will survive is if Tony creates the device that saved his life which is on the Iron Man suit. This device costs lots of money to create. Pepper is upset that she has this device in her when Tony will not donate it to people who need it. Tony's reason is that the device costs too much money. 

Ezekiel plans to attack all of Stark Industry locations around the world at the same time. As Ezekiel is planning his attacks, Iron Man is not sure who is behind the whole operation. Iron Man tracks down who is buying the Iron Man equipment and weapons. Tony Stark investigates and figures out that Ezekiel might plan an attack. Tony Stark says that someone will create a cheaper version of the Iron Man. Tony calls it the Iron Man 2.0. Iron Man 2.0 has not been developed yet. Tony Stark puts a tracking device on one of the black market Iron Man equipment. Tony can now track where the equipment is going. Tony Stark creates Iron Man bots and places them at all Stark Industry locations. Stark knows which building Ezekiel is going to attack. The bots will attack the other machines Ezekiel put together. Iron Man finds Ezekiel and they have a showdown with Iron Man winning and bringing Ezekiel to justice. In the process of their fight, Ezekiel manages to destroy the Stark Industries building located on Long Island. 

Something tells me that Ezekiel is not finished. There can be more people involved in his secret society that can pull a stunt like Ezekiel did. The series did not focus on many people being involved in the secret society. I am sure there are more people that hate the capitalist pig Tony Stark. Book #8 should be out next week. We shall see what aftermath will be like. Please purchase the next few books. It will get interesting.
