just got Iron Man : Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

will give a "review" later

oh here it is:-

Moderator cut: image removed

Follows the events of Civil War, the Superhero Registration Act (superheroes need to expose their secret identity) and after Iron Man has become the director of the superhero/government liaison committee and the Superhero Initiative (govt-controlled police-like superheroes).

Is actually the second part of the series and doesn't seque from the first graphic novel. Mostly about The Mandarin (supervillain) and his plot to eradicate over 97% of the world population with the remaining being immortal superheroes.

The Knauf brothers are pretty good writers, this is a very engrossing read. Downpoints? the last story is stand-alone and doesn't have anything to do with the preceding story and is pretty much a sexist "guys in tights whomping each other's ass" type thingie. pretty anti-climactic
