Iron Man (2020-) #1

In Iron Man (2020-) #1, Tony Stark has decided to restart his life after so many setbacks in his life and get back to the basics of being Iron Man. To do so, Stark distances himself from his own business, sells off his Malibu mansion for an apartment in Manhattan, and begins to use new armors reminiscent of his early stuff. While teaming up with Hellcat, the two confront the villain Unicorn who has stolen a book from the Public Library. When they see that the book is a Gutenberg Bible and Unicorn rambles about working for a god, a bolt of lightning hits Tony and although it doesn't kill him it does incinerate the book. While it may be difficult for new readers to understand much of what goes on due to needing to read past stories, this comic is still worth reading. Christopher Cantwell's storytelling does enough to not make you confused for Tony's reasonings behind his new attitude. There's still a lot of backstory that's not expanded on, but you forget about it thanks to the well written drama and a great start to a new mystery introduced at the end of this issue. CAFU's artwork and Frank D'Armata's coloring create a perfect art style that resembles less of a typical comic style and more of a series of paintings. Iron Man (2020-) #1 is the start for a new series for the Armored Avenger that sees a significant change in the title character's life and through great writing and art, gives a very memorable and well made start to a new story. Over all: 100%
