Iron Man: Demon In A Bottle TPB

Product Information

Really like this but wish the more modern fictive techniques could have been used to illustrate that Tony’s drinking was responsible for his downfall rather than it be a side effect. Tony teams up with Namor to save some man and its fun talking about environmentalism and shows that he is a good guy while in another story he is fighting his villains Blizzard, Melter and Whiplash and that was so fun, the way he defeats them and finally the origin of it all and how some people in SHIELD are slowly acquiring his company and all and maybe he is being addicted to drinking and how that impacts his relationship with his friends and Jarvis and that was such a good and solid story and does a great messaging and also one of those stories that defines his character. By the mid-‘90s Tony was actively going to Alcoholics Anonymous, and later became a sponsor for Carol Danvers. This time he has to face his worst enemy yet, cause it's an enemy that money and the iron suit cannot help him defeat.

Stark’s personal journey in that film: to retreat into the woods, start a family, make amends with Rogers, and bond with his own father, have all the tenets of a recovering alcoholic trying to make peace with who he is. I can see why the story was so important 30 years ago, and I'm glad I read it, but it's not as compelling as it once was. There are a lot of coincidences throughout this that just happen randomly like how does Hammer know Tony's underwater or does he know that he's got his hand on a fat man. Jon Favreau’s Iron Man (2008) opened the door for his alcoholism, depicting him as a frequent social drinker.In the earlier issues, the subject was kind of brushed under the rug besides a few serious comments here or there. He used his skills as an inventor to co-create Ultron from his technology and built increasingly elaborate suits. But all these events took a terrible toll on Stark as he starts drinking even more and he snapped at his faithful butler Jarvis which leds to him to resign as Tony Stark's butler. Demon in the Bottle" was one of his best Iron Man stories that pits Iron Man against his drinking problems. Iron Man's greatest enemy here isn't the guy who tries to control his suit, nor are the super villains who attack him.

D. while Iron Man is being targeted by the man who would eventually become his biggest foe, Justin Hammer (this story is his first appearance in Marvel Comics). This book however, is seven issues of Iron Man dealing with Justin Hammer and some super villains, getting stressed, having a drink once or twice, and then going full alcoholic in one issue. First of all, this is a great story and I'll come back to that later, but most importantly, this story really made Iron Man a very relatable character and it actually helped many people. and that the one and a half issues that ACTUALLY deal with the "demon in the bottle" (sure there is foreshadowing, but to describe this collection as a whole as dealing with alcoholism is just plain false) were emotionally gripping and character-enriching.The story opens with Iron Man and Namor teaming up against Roxxon Oil, an evil petroleum conglomerate in the Marvel universe. I'd recommend this to anyone, with any level of Iron Man knowledge, particularly movie fans looking for a place to jump into the comics. A lot of the writing was pretty cheesy, and some of the conflict just seemed to be borne out of a need for suspense.
