"Reading this leads me to believe that Orson Scott Card can't move away from the "genius kid" theme. For every decent aspect of this story there was something right behind it I didn't like. The best part was the great artwork, Andy Kubert is definately one of my favorite artists in comics right now."
"It was an interesting look at what the origins of Iron Man might be by a prolific Sci-Fi writer. However, what I liked most about Iron Man was taken away from him in this version of the story - his vulnerability. It is almost impossible for me to relate to Iron Man if he can regenerate. I originally liked Iron Man so much because he was just a man (a very wealthy and smart one at that, but still just a man) in a suit. For this reason, I feel like Orson Scott Card took something very important away from the Iron Man story, and that's very disappointing."
"I think one thing that appeals to me in Orson Scott Card's fiction is the internal dialogue of the characters' thoughts and motives. And that doesn't work as well in a graphic novel. I wonder if a movie would suffer from the same problem?"
