Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Iron Man's best story in it's best formatThe story is classic by now and known not only to Iron Man fans, so the contex of this book won't be reviewed here. What is worth saying is the top quality paper and wonderfull job done at the colours. Additional credits should be given for the hard cover and the jacket illustration. Every issue comes with it's original cover. This is Iron Man and Marvel at their best. May many more stories follow in same format. Rating:  - Listen, His Armor is a CARRY-ON ITEM!I am one of the probably hundreds of thousands of people who saw the new Marvel-financed version of Iron Man at the movies. Like many of these moviegoers, I was impressed and even persuaded to compare it favorably with Batman Begins, which I had previously thought to be the best possible comic book movie. I read Marvel comics a lot as a kid, but my favorite title was Uncanny X-Men and my favorite character was Nightcrawler. After reading this book, Iron Man: Demon in a Bottle, I find ...

Read More Rating: - Worth it for nostalgia's sakeOne of the most important moments in Iron Man's history occurs in Demon in a Bottle, which makes it worth picking up for nostalgia's sake if nothing else. While villain Justin Hammer rears his ugly head, Tony "Iron Man" Stark takes on his toughest opponent: alcoholism. While David Michelinie (who's run on the title is the closest thing Iron Man ever had to a definitive writer) attempts to give a powerful/human story here, the issue gets resolved way too quickly for anyone to consider it believable. ... Read More Rating: - A bit dated, but still worth a readI picked this up thinking that it would be all about Tony and his drinking problem. imagine my surpize to find it only happened in the last issue in this collection. Now, I can surmize the point of the issue, but its a real letdown than one would expect. it gets three stars because even though it was a good read, the real questions that the book clames to tackle ultimately get resolved too quickly to prove lasting.
