Iron Man Specials
CIVIL WAR: THE CONFESSION
(May 2007) - no title - Script: Brian Michael Bendis. Art: Alex Maleev.
An all-Iron Man/Tony Stark retrospective following the events of the "Civil War" and the "death" of Captain America. Bendis' writing really shines here as does Maleev's art -- it has a definite "Earth X" feel to it. Stark confesses (hence the title!) to a seemingly "dead" Steve Rogers the reason he did what he did during the Civil War: It was all because of ... King Arthur! Long-time Iron Man fans will delight at this tip of the hat to IM's greatest creative ever -- Michelinie and Layton -- as Stark notes that Arthur is "the greatest leader of men" in history. And, when he and Doc Doom were whisked back in time to the Camelot era, Tony states that this is when he realized that eventually he and Cap would have to square off against one another. But the whole Civil War imbroglio? Stark to Rogers: It wasn't worth it.
Hube's Recommendation: 4 repulsors!
