Iron Man Vol 1 Believe Marvel NOW! Kieron Gillen Greg Land Books
Ever since I became a fan of Marvel Comics, I've been a fan of Iron Man. In the same manner, I've also been a huge fan of Kieron Gillen's writing at Marvel. His works on the likes of Thor, the X-Men, and others has been amazing. So when I found out that there was an Iron Man series written by Gillen, I couldn't have been more excited. But as far as the end result for his first volume, it was good but not great. There really is no full arc in this volume. Instead the issues collected are independent stories connected by the presence of Extremis, A bio-virus first introduced by Warren Ellis in Iron Man: Extremis. You'll need to know that story, as well as Matt Fraction's previous run to get a better picture of where the book starts. Gillen has admitted that he didn't know where he wanted to go with the series, and that shows here. But the following volumes do get much better. Greg Land does the art for this book and... it's alright. It has a slightly off look about it, but that's likely because Land is known for tracing his figures out from other sources. This does give it a static feel. But despite all that it doesn't detract from the story. I recommend this series for people who want to see Iron Man try something new.

Iron Man Vol 1 Believe Marvel NOW! Kieron Gillen Greg Land Books Reviews
Iron Man Believe is my first and so far only Iron Man title that I have read, but it certainly shall not be my last. Kieron Gillen has done an excellent job in writing an interesting Iron Man tale, linked together through the five individual stories, one for each issue, that serves as a great jumping on point for new readers like myself. The artwork by Greg Land also deserves to be mentioned, as he does a rather splendid job and fortunately from what I've read on the listings, he's stayed on as artist for the other books as well, which suits me just fine.
The main story arc for Believe is that someone has gotten ah-hold of Extremis and naturally Tony Stark intends to get it out of their hands, jumping around the world and into space to do so. Each issue has its own self contained story, but the main threat of Extremis as well as Tony building a new artificial intelligence system keep the stories linked together. Now, not every issue is great, in fact when Tony finds himself in the Parisian catacombs, though the premise is intriguing and a bit Lovecraftian, for me it kind of slowed everything down. The highlight for me was in the second issue, with the suit battle in an arena in the (fictional) Balkan nation of Symkaria, which was just fantastic and did much to show that Tony is not simply a man in suit of armor.
All in all, I highly recommend this trade, particularly for new readers much like myself, as you shall not be disappointed.
Kieron Gillen re-boots Iron Man with Believe. Tony gets a message from an old friend Maya Hansen (the recreator of extremis) only come to realize she is now dead. With her last words she warns Tony that her extremis virus has been let loose and in the hands of all the wrong people. Tony tracks down the various people who are using extremis for better but mostly for worse. The story is decently written and the art is done well. I just found it jumped around a little too much to have particular feelings towards various characters. This book also includes a digital copy to read anywhere on the go, and Augmented Reality (downloadable app that shows behind the scenes with the creators and how the book came together etc.) , if you can get it to work...I give believe 3.4/5 stars.
I picked up the hardcover edition of this book on a whim since I liked Gillen's X-Men run from before AVX. Fistly, as other reviews have stated, this follows up on the Extremis formula from a previous story of the same name. In Believe, Tony finds that the creator of Extremis has been kidnapped by the mad science organization AIM, and she was forced to recreate the serum before dying in an escape attempt. So past issue 1, this trade is Tony going after the specialized extremis strains that AIM sold before Tony could shut them down. With an issue a strain, this volume is slightly formulaic, with Tony and Pepper talking about the situation, finding the location on a map, then Tony goes in, each time with a specialized suit. I think the first strain, which is bing used my a modern day group of Arthurian Knights, was the best, because the knight who narrates the issue is rather interesting. I really hope she comes back at some later point, as maybe another iron character. The other strains arent bad per say, but nothing really that memorable. I do really like what each represents though, as each user of extremis trys to remake the world for a better future. The art is also quite nice, Greg Land draws his women all rather uniformly, but i dont find that too troublesome. I also think its interesting the direction Gillen takes Tony by the end of the volume, with him deciding to explore space to find ideas for a better tomorrow. I also really dig the new suit design for Space-Tony, its alot more noteworthy than the black and gold suit he wears for most of it.
