Iron Man: Beneath the Armor

IRON MAN: BENEATH THE ARMOR by Andy Mangels (Del Rey)
An unintentional treatise on the problem with comics’ continuity obsession, this comprehensive story of Iron Man becomes headache-inducing when it shifts from objective history of the comics to an attempt to explain 45 years of oft-discarded continuity as a cohesive timeline. (And wow! ‘80s-‘90s Marvel Comics were UGLY!)
