Iron Man Vol. 5: Rings of the Mandarin - Marvel NOW! Comic Book | Superhero Action, Sci-Fi Adventure | Perfect for Marvel Fans & Comic Collectors

This is the final volume of Kieron Gillen's Iron Man run. To retrieve the Mandarin rings he as taken, Tony Stark, the grail knight, but storm the realm of the dark elves and their dark king, Malekith the accursed. I would say that this part of the trade is better than the rings of the mandarin arc of the title. Seeing Tony kind of go berserk with rage at malekith after some mythological references to stolen kids. Also Tony gets an actual Iron Suit, due to elves weakness to iron, and it looks awesome. He kind of looks like a Decepticon from the Michael bay Transformers movies. We also get some resolution with the extremis-laced albino woman from the first arc.The Rings arc is still good, its just kind of an easy resolution. Tony and his crew show up in suits and win the resulting slap fight. Not the best part of the run, but not bad either. The art is still quite good, if i did feel its a step down from the previous volumes. Overall its a good conclusion to this run and i would recommend it to anyone whose been following the other arcs and anyone who wants to see that Malekith is all about without getting into a big Thor epic.
