It was okay for its story though it did keep me interested the art of the concluding segments was distracting most likely the art was done by another artist is my guess.

4.0 out of 5 stars Iron Man shows some steel...
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2005
Iron Man Disassembled is the beginning of a steady return to greatness for the Marvel mainstay. The recent redirection of the Avengers and Avengers family of books are causing some controversy amongst fans. Personally, I think of it as a return to basics with these characters. Strip away the artifice, the past 15 years of "new directions", and rediscover what makes these characters resonate 40-odd years since their creation.

The Iron Man chapters are especially interesting because the creators (Ricketts, Harris, and others) understand that it's not the armor or technology that make the comic interesting, but Tony Stark himself. Tony is so insulated from the outside world, that when he puts up those iron walls, the people he cares about end up getting hurt, emotionally and/or physically. The subplot with Hap and Pepper points out especially well why Tony needs people, not just his super-brethren, as friends. He needs people to keep him grounded, and help him through anything life should throw at him, whether it be the villian du jour, or an alcoholic relapse scare.

The only drawback is that the artwork is not consistent in this book. I've always been a fan of Tony Harris's artwork; it's expressive, even when Tony's in the armor, and borders on realistic. Especially when it comes to the female form; when he draws women, they aren't the gravity-defying fantasies of lesser artists. Tony's girlfriend has a little bit of a poonch at the belly, her face creases when she smiles. Yet Scott Kolins artwork is sketchy, even ugly, and his work just looks like it lacks effort. I know some people like his artwork, but personally, I find it amateurish, and actually takes away from the impact of the climax. Kolins weak art is saved only by the writing, which I'm happy to say has been greatly improved in this title.

Very satisfying read, and an interesting side trip in the Avengers Disassembled storyline. I can't wait til Warren Ellis' and Orson Scott Card's Iron Man works are collected. This is a very exciting time for Shellhead, and this is where it starts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stark Disassembled!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2010
This trade collects Iron Man #84-89, which is two different storylines that tie into the Avengers Disassembled event. The first arc is called "Turf War" and is written by John Jackson Miller (Knights of the Old Republic) and drawn by Jorge Lucas. To me this the better of the two storylines and the plot mainly resolves around a Senator enlisting Iron Man to cover up one of Stark's projects from his dad's era. I honestly don't see how it tied into Avengers Disassembled as it takes place before that event and it's just mainly a big fight with some politics thrown in there. Overall I did enjoy the story, the artwork was just ok. I did like the bad guy and also the appearance of Warbird before she took on the Ms. Marvel mantle but it was nothing too engaging. The second storyline was written by Mark Ricketts and drawn by Tony Harris and Scott Kolins (last issue). I couldn't stand this storyline, it was just boring, the bad guy was lame (just a guy who stole an Iron Man suit) and sad to see that these were the last issues of Iron Man till they rebooted him later on. So overall this collection wasn't a horrible read, I'm rating it more like 2.5 stars instead of 3. First story was fun and second sucked.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lame Artwork Carried by Good Writing
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2010
It was fun to read Iron Man Disassembled but looking at it was a bore. The prologue artist was by far the most lazy, resembling no element of superhero style. As the book goes on the art starts to get ok, the best being the flashback of Avengers Disassembled, but It never gets great. The story and dialogue work, but they became clamped down by the lack of talented artwork. The fact that the artwork changed three times also was a factor in my appriciation level. The imposter storyline did feel a little stolen, but the third act justifies the entire plot. I felt like points of the writing may have lacked in certain areas, but the ending was rock solid and left me with satisfaction. The dialogue about how superheroes never take lives was classic, please take notice of this as you read. Also the little tidbit about the Avengers' Mansion was great. Little things like "how do the Avengers manage their trash" need to be explored. I love sci-fi stories that explain little things in an alternate universe. The writer of the prologue did some good exploration on this one.

It's worth it...kind of? You'll see some ugly art so just lower your expectations. The upside is that the trade has some good writing laced within its panels. It was definately a grade above Thor's disassembled sidestory.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2007
this arc is ok, i dont really see how someone imitating iron man and murdering people can cause him to be 'disassembled' , because its happened before in one way or another, in the way the rest of the team was, or thor was, for that matter. but its still a good story, the artowrk is a little bland and lame for my taste. i'm so glad the arc after this (extremis, after the series gets re numbered) came out, that really changed the character for me. my whole life up to and including this arc, iron man was smart and cool but he was not always at teh top of my list of 'OH MY GOD new iron man this week!!!!" type of deal. now he is, good times!

Disassembled a donné des choses allant du pas mal au pas terrible. Et là, on est dans le pas terrible, avec des histoires poussives et convenues, et des dessinateurs qui, même quand ils sont bons (Tony Harris, à un moment) semblent cachetonner. tout à fait dispensable. c'est là qu'on se rend compte que la renaissance et la redéfinition du personnage opérées par Ellis et Granov dans Extremis étaient tout à fait indispensables.

There may be spoilers ahead...

This trade paperback collects issues 84-89 of Iron Man from back in 2004, and is part of a series of Disassembled stories featuring members of the superhero community, predominately with ties to the Avengers.

This story obviously focuses on Iron Man, and in this era, Tony Stark is also the Secretary of State for Defence whilst the Avengers have become a sovereign state under mandate of the UN, and Avengers Mansion is now the Avengers Embassy.

The Avengers roster in this story consists of Iron Man, Falcon, Ant Man, Wasp, Black Panther and Vision, but Iron Man's loyalties are tested as he undertakes a task given to him by the Pentagon.

During the Cold War, Howard Stark designed a secret homeland defence project that was designed to neutralise physical assets, electrical systems and critical infrastructure in and around New York, should the Soviet Union advance on the Eastern seaboard. This would have been achieved by a robotic automaton killing machine called Arsenal.

Arsenal just happens to be buried in a secret chamber beneath the Avengers Embassy, and a select committee of Pentagon staff have asked their Defence Secretary, aka Iron Man, to check it out without alerting the Avengers or the public. However, whilst checking it out, it activates and Arsenal comes to life with one thing on its computer mind - carrying out its mission parameters.

Iron Man and the Avengers have to deal with this threat with help from Carol Danvers aka Warbird, before Arsenal runs amok and starts to destroy NYC.

As soon as one threat is over, up pops another. Taking advantage of the public's distrust of the Armoured Avenger, the Stark Enterprises board plans a new direction for the company without the Stark name behind it. However, Iron Man crashes the meeting and murders the entire board, before embarking on a hunt for those closest to Tony Stark; his lover Rumiko, as well as Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan.

This is not the real Iron Man though, but a rival engineer and arms dealer who has developed his own tech that resembles Stark's own, and he is out for revenge.

Tony must gather his wits and use all his skills necessary to defeat this murderous doppleganger before he succeeds and kills not just Stark, but his friends and lover as well. And just who is Clarence Ward anyway, and who does he work for?

Tony Stark has had his ups and downs over the years, and this book touches on a part of his downward spiral. Elements of it reminded me of the Iron Man 3 movie where Tony is at the end of his tether, and also has to rely on his wits and ingenuity rather than his armour. Having read only the Avengers Disassembled and this book in this series, I'm not fully aware of the overall bigger picture yet although part of this tale does link into the Avengers book which helped me understand it a little bit better.

I would suggest that you need to be familiar with what is going on in the Avengers and Iron Man world during this era to get a full understanding of what is going on. For example - this current Avengers roster is a bit shy of some of the bigger hitters. Where's Captain America? Where's Thor? They both have Disassembled books after all. I know the roster fluctuates from time to time but I'd benefit more from reading the other titles.

Writing duties are split between John Jackson Miller whose work I'm familiar with from a couple of Dark Horse Comics Star Wars titles, and Mark Ricketts who I'm not familiar with. Both have crafted 2 decent tales in this book, although the artwork by Jorge Lucas, Tony Harris and Scott Kolins is not really my cup of tea.

So by all means get this book as it is fairly enjoyable, but I urge you to get more in the Disassembled series, like I fully intend to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tony Stark: Dissambled
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 3, 2009

This trade paperback takes place at the same time the Avengers were being torn asunder by the mental deterioration of the Scarlett Witch. Tony Stark is having his own problems with regards to his business, his duties as an Avenger and unbeknownst to him, an old flame is coming back to stake her claim, and hopefully become something more.

Of course, because this is Tony Stark and Marvel likes to make him suffer, Tony finds himself losing someone that he never thought that he'd have. His high visibility as a superhero makes him wonder if it's worth donning the suit and he's had to come to a heartbreaking realization about his Avenger's duties.

The book has a lot of action, but it doesn't lose the humanity of the main character. There's a nice cameo by Happy and Pepper (always nice to see Tony's support system) but there's a bit of sadness that makes one mourn.

The art is okay, the colours are lovely, and the writing is tight. I recommended it.
