Iron Man is back. We get to see a range from him. Toward the beginning of this volume he is struggling with his position as a hero and a businessman. His life has been stagnant and he needs to find something to make it new again. By the end of the volume he has regained his old confidence. Bendis does a great job with Tony Stark and transitioning through different stages.
I've only read a few Iron Man books before, but this one felt different. It has to do with the mystical elements wrapped into the story. This is a different side to Iron Man and his place in the Marvel universe. It brings out some old villains and allies too. Bendis develops the relationships between these characters and Tony Stark wonderfully. This is one of the things that he does extremely well.
The artwork is great. The characters are expressive and detailed. I'm not a huge fan of the art on Iron Man's new suit though. It seems too slick, which isn't out of character. It's just now my preferred style. While the book isn't particularly serious, the creators do manage to make it fun and bring in humor at just the right times. I'm not up to speed with what has been happening in the Marvel universe, so there may be elements that I missed out on. Regardless Reboot is a fun entry into what is going on with Iron Man currently.
