Getting in the heads of the leaders January 2, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

This volume collects three different story arcs from Marvel's big 2006 event, the Civil War. The three issues of Captain America get inside that character's head, revealing his internal struggles in trying to maintain a normal life while fighting the Civil War (leading the resistance) and holding out against his regular group of foes. Ed Brubaker's writing is excellent throughout this arc. Unfortunately, Mike Perkins' artwork is less consistent. His pencils range from strong to mediocre, though his inking is truly excellent.

The two Iron Man issues get inside Tony's head, and reveal what the war has cost him. Long time fans will want to check this out, as the title seems to be shaping up to take a sharp left turn, and the groundwork is being laid here. This is an interesting story in its own right, and a nice embellishment to the big story. The Knaufs write well, and Zircher pencils are very good.

The weakest entry is the Iron Man / Captain America: Casualties of War special. This wasn't originally approved, but when the main Civil War series started running late, it was approved to give retailers a chance to maintain revenue and momentum in the new slow periods. It shows; it's a nice recap of the history of the relationship between these two, but it doesn't really add anything new. Still, this weak entry (words by Christos N. Gage, pencils by Jeremy Haun, inks by Mark Morales) isn't weak enough to detract from the quality of the other two stories included in this collection. The complete package is definitely worthwhile.

good civil war tie in June 23, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book contains the Captain America/Iron Man Casualties of War oneshot, Iron Man 13-14 and the Civil War Confession. Amazon's discription of this book is wrong.

The highlight of this book is the Civil War Confession. It is a well written story of 2 conversations between Captain America and Iron Man after the civil war. However, it would have been better collected in the upcoming Fallen Son trade.

Overall though, its a good book and a good addition to a civil war tie in collection.

"Registration - It's the Law..." June 14, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This Civil War tie-in manages to show us Tony "Iron Man" Stark's point of view as the Civil War between the superheroes reaches it's boiling point. Civil War: Iron Man finds the armored Avenger and his pro-registration followers set their sights on Captain America and his rebels as the cataclysmic events of the Civil War wreak havoc upon the Marvel universe. The TPB as a whole is compelling and only further goes to prove that there is no real right or wrong side in Marvel's mega crossover event, and that the two warring, iconic heroes are truly doing what they believe is the right and best thing for themselves and everyone else involved. There's a bevy of strong talent here including Ed Brubaker and the Knauf's, but there is one major downside to this TPB. Civil War: Iron Man includes a few issues of Captain America that are also featured in the Civil War: Captain America TPB, which can make one TPB pretty much worthless if you already own the other. Despite that though, Civil War: Iron Man is a decent enough pick up that nicely ties into the events surrounding the Civil War, and is worth checking out.

the best iron man February 13, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

First, I'm not a huge Iron Man fan, though I thought after this book I might become one (alas, not I) because this is what Iron Man should be about, not the suit but the man. And Tony Stark is a weak man (as alcoholics are), but this book really pulled it all out. Loved it, in fact, it is the only Iron Man book I've found so far that I liked. You really see something dark in Stark coming out.

Incorrect Item Summary October 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The summary incorrectly labels this book as containing issues of Captain America, it does not. This book collects Iron-Man #13-14, Iron-Man/Captain America: Casualties of War and Civil War: The Confession.

This book closely encapsulates the relationship between Iron-Man and Captain America more closely than anything else I have read from the Civil War books, including the Captain America TPB. It is nice to see why Tony Stark actually believes in the registration act and why he is fighting so vehamitely to enforce it. An excellent addition to anybody's collection if you are collecting the civil war series. I would suggest this book, the main title, the road to and the two frontline books for a minimum collection.
