5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous story ...

A gorgeous story ripe with reference, deference, irreverence and reflection. I especially liked the idea of grandpa Stark being stuck away and forgotten but able to send his bio mechanical automatons out to trick Tony into a lovely little trap. Cute... And Tony ends up with his ever present bottle... Classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars The 4 issue mini which should have been longer

I reviewed this on my youtube channel but i don't want people on amazon giving it a bad rep. I did enjoy this a lot. Its written by the same writer as iron man Extremis. which is a great book. So he has a great voice for the character. He is the kind of writer who is best with character. So the story suffered. It was wrapped up to quickly and had the same twist as extremis. Which is why this has to be longer. He is a great writer but like James Robinson he takes time to truly become good. So i dislike the story. BUT. i love the characters. the dialog is amazing. there's a great line where tony says "I refuse to fear a man whose name sounds like a Norwegian term for an act of love involving motor oil" and another where he says that he's down to his last 100000000 and his friend happy hogen says he had to sell his grandmother's golden tooth to pay the bills and then tony just says its tough all around. So overall it isnt the best story but its just so much fun and the dialog is BRILLIANT. so i say buy it. Its a good addition to the ultimate library and you will just have so much fun reading it.

Oh my goodness this was the worst Ironman story I have ever read. It seems like it was just thrown together in a hurry. The ending was lame and seemed very rushed. If they had put more time into it I think they could have had a decent story. It really sucks because Ironman is my favorite Superhero and I've never read an Ironman story I didn't like...until this one that is.

I'm so glad that Warren hasn't given up Ultimate Iron Man. He does the most awesome stuff with him. I don't understand why they got rid of the more robotic look for the movie version but I'm glad that he kept it for another story. Get drunk and swoo some women with Tony Stark. Great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Read by Ellis!
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2011
Verified Purchase
Warren Ellis is quite the blood & guts writer with credit to Transmetropolitan  ] and stories involving nano-tech and so on, so Ultimate Iron-Man was just up this writer's alley!

I'm not that familiar with the Ultimate Iron-man storyline by Marvel, but did enjoy the wisecracking humor and incredible intelligence of Tony Stark. His technology has been stolen by a "ghost" and Tony's goal is to track down the assailants and wipe out his tech before it gets into the wrong hands.

He falls for a girl with special powers (energy shoots from her hands) and he saves her life, little knowing her later betrayal later on in the story. Also his tendency to kill his enemies is a disturbing trait from the "main Marvel universe" and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

The story took a more interesting turn when it involved the British government getting a hold of the Iron-man technology and started really beating the tar out of Tony. It's odd to me why he couldn't have dealt with the government and the police in a less violent way, but then it would be a boring comic, wouldn't it? Ha.

The ending was a let-down for me. The final defeat of the enemies was rushed and the final panel left me empty. Is that it?

I did like the art - there were a few panels where it took a double take to find out exactly what was going on, but the fast action and explosions were fun to see in big splash panels.

Overall, a decent entry by Ellis. It's quick and entertaining, just wish it were more fully developed at the end.

I've read that this Ultimate story is a version of the classic  Iron Man: Armor Wars  and  Iron Man: Armor Wars II  - with similar plot (tech gets stolen, used by bad guys, etc.). I may check those out too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Macabre but Funny
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
I'm not a Marvel comics reader, except occasionally, being more of a Superman fan, but I like humor in Iron Man and wasn't disappointed with "Armor Wars". I wasn't expecting such a depressing backdrop (a catastrophe has hit NYC and the streets are littered with the dead), nor such macabre touches, but the humor makes all the difference. This is a very funny, but also very sad graphic novel. The art work is okay, sometimes quite effective, often rather dead-in-the-eyes, but okay. If you're an Iron Man fan I'm sure you'll like the book. For others, caveat emptor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but very sweet
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2010

This book follows on from  Ultimatum  where a large part of the Marvel Ultimate universe was devastated by Magneto's wish to wipe out humanity. It begins with Tony Stark (in Iron Man mode) arriving in the post-tidal wave devastation of New York to check out the Stark Manhattan Office where he discovers a strange silver-suited figure stealing something buried in a deep vault. From then on it's a swift but highly adventurous race for Tony to get back all the Iron Man tech that has been stolen from him.

This is Warren Ellis's third foray into the world of Iron Man. His first,  Extremis , was set in the usual Marvel Universe (616). The second,  Ultimate Hulk Vs Iron Man: Ultimate Human  is set in the Ultimate universe and both are excellent and highly recommended reads.

This one also delivers some trademark Ellis brilliantisms (excuse me there for the made up word). My biggest problem with it is that it is only 112 pages long - being made up of four original issues - which is a real shame as it's a great read and, when I got to the end I was thinking 'More please!'

Mr Ellis is a fan of tech and he describes the elements of the Iron Man suit and uses it to such great effect that he makes it feel grounded in reality (imagine Steve Jobs designing flying battle suits rather than Apple products). But he is also a master of characterisation and his depiction of Tony Stark in the Ultimate universe - still swigging alcohol like it's going out of fashion and arrogantly throwing out quips while, at the same time, showing underlying elements of compassion - is a very human and sympathetic one.

The action is fast paced but never hurried (something many comic writers find hard to manage) and the artwork by Steve Kurth is crisp and clean and often highly impressive. In some ways it mirrors work by other modern comic greats, such as John Cassaday or Bryan Hitch, which is fine by me as I love such hyper-real work. The colouring is a joy too. After all, the main element of this book is a red and gold suit of armour, and such needs to be brought to life in bright splashes of colour across the comic book page.

I can recommend this book to the kind of comic fan who really likes to see big ol' superhero fights, but I can also recommend it to the more thoughtful comic reader who appreciates depth of character and an involving storyline and I can only hope that Mr Ellis has more plans to visit the world of Tony Stark as his writing and that character seem somewhat made for each other.
