Hi Everyone,

This is a Spoiler Free Review of Iron Man #1 (2026)  by Joshua Williamson! 

New Episode Format, using two rating scales. 

New Reader Friendly Scale 1 - 5, one is most approachable, five is least approachable.

General Quality Scale 1 - 5, five being best. Since I like everything to be backed up by something:

5 - I'm hooked, I'll buy the singles and the HC
4 - I'm going to buy the Singles and Maybe buy a collection
3 - Trade Wait/App Wait
2 - I MAY read it on the app eventually. 
1 - You would have to pay me to read more.
