Iron Man Novels
IronMan: The Armor Trap by Greg Cox
This book really impressed me when it
first came out. It was the second novel to come out of the Byron
Preiss organization, and they were on a roll after the
Spider-Man:Venom Factor hardcover. "The Armor Trap"had
a great plot of Tony Stark getting kidnapped,and impressioned. He
then has to use his technical experience with computers to escape
his imprisonment from his jailer.Nope I'm not going to give away
his id.
This harkens back to Iron Man's origin and him being imprisoned
and forced to create technolgy.For those War Machine fans out
there,Rhoddy has some great character development here. This read
like a great mystery novel from Clancy. A truly great read for
Iron Fans! I give a highly recomended 3 Spidey heads out of 4.
Iron Man: Operation A.I.M. by Greg Cox
Greg Cox is back and he brought
a few friends for Iron Man to play with. Captain America,Black
Panther, and War Machine team up to take down A.I.M. Now for
those newbies to the Marvel Universe, A.I.M. stands for
"Advanced Idea Mechanics". Wow and that was off the top
of my head! Don't ask what S.H.I.E.L.D stands for!
The two main antagonists in this one are Baron Strucker and
MODOK. Great villians! This was a pretty good book, as a follow
up to the previous novel. The only reservation I have is that
Iron Man didn't get more story develpment aimed,or A.I.M.E.D. at
him. I thought he was buying for time with the other heroes. But
otherwise Mr. Cox weaved an entertaining novel. 2 and 1/2 Spidey
heads out of four on this one. Is there a third book in the
works??? I hope so!
