Avengers Disassembled: Iron Man TPB (Iron Man)

Summary: Shellhead gets Disassembled
Review: With Brian Michael Bendis disassembling the Avengers, Mike Oeming killing Thor, and Robert Kirkman wreaking havoc on Captain America, Mark Ricketts got the assignment to disassemble Iron Man. Taking place after Tony Stark's tirade at the United Nations, Tony finds himself accused of murder after someone wearing Iron Man armor murders his board of directors. Eventually, it becomes clear that someone has got their hands on Tony's technology, culminating in a showdown between Iron Man and the murderer. Out of all the Disassembled storylines, this is probably the weakest. Ricketts' storytelling doesn't go anywhere, and the art by Scott Kolins is really nothing to write home about. The epilogue sets the stage for the Iron Man relaunch (yes, he's getting relaunched yet again) under the helm of Transmetropolitan and Hellblazer scribe Warren Ellis (and trust me, it's real, real good). Iron Man Disassembled isn't bad though, and it is worth a look at least.
