Marvel Adventures Iron Man

Today’s comics, whether new or classic favorites, have become increasingly more complex, darker, and more adult as the fans have grown older and, theoretically, matured. Marvel Adventures takes long-running characters and makes their story once again accessible to “all ages”—meaning of course, young readers. This series gives the new-again treatment to the Avengers’ armored gladiator, Iron Man.

What terrible secret from his past causes billionaire industrialist and renowned inventor Tony Stark to become the Armored Avenger? You’ll find out as this action-packed series not only takes Iron Man back to basics, but gives his origin a fresh look without messing with today’s convoluted continuity—whether it’s the caustic repercussions of Civil War or just the general soap opera that Stark’s life has become. Though intended for the kiddies, the books in this line just might be the much-needed break from “reality” many long-time adult readers also need.
