About the author
MATT FRACTION writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and stags. Surely there is a metaphor there? He is 42 years old and everyone he went to high school with is dead now probably.
He won the first-ever PEN USA Literary Award for Graphic Novels; he, or comics he's a part of, have won Eisners, Harveys, and Eagles, which are like the Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes of comic books, and all seem about as likely. He's a New York Times-best-selling donkus of comics like SEX CRIMINALS (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best New Series, the 2014 Harvey Award for Best New Series, and named TIME Magazine's Best Comic of 2013), SATELLITE SAM, ODY-C, HAWKEYE (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best Single Issue), wrote the longest consecutive run when re relaunced THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (2010 Eiser Award winner for Best New Series) with Salvador Larocca and, oh, lordy, so many more.
Coming in 2018 will be ADVENTUREMAN! with Terry and Rachel Dodson and NOVEMBER with Elsa Charretier from Image Comics.
Under their company Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, Inc., Fraction and DeConnick are currently developing television for NBC/Universal.

In Resilient we find Tony facing and dealing with the fears he stated back in the Five Nightmare. They are more than just plot points they are connecting to the past, but philosophic questions too. they are also dealing with a question that i've had since the movie. if you have this amazing power source should you do something more than just play hero with it? they've had this volume planned from the beginning and it's coming to a beautiful fruition.
he's building a new suit, a new company and rebuilding his frayed relationships with friends and heroes. The dialogue is sharp and interesting. the relational tensions are real, which is amazing considering the crazy soap opera amnesia contrivances they are working out of. how do they make it seem so real is the magic of it. i love how they are not using this mind wipe to absolve tony of everything he's done in the last decade.
i know larroca has some haters, but i think his art is spot on. he has a deft and subtle touch that makes all these crazy comic book colors real. there is one frame of dr. richards thinking real hard that is an amazing jem. i completely missed it on the 1st read, but was guaffing on the 2nd go round.
this is a great entry point into this series. i strongly recommend getting everything that has gone before, but if you've been hearing all the good praise thrown this way and are curious, this is a great place to start. Stark and Fraction are back!
In order to prevent Osborn from weaponizing all the technology in his mind, Tony took the rather draconian step of mindwiping his own brain. Fortunately, his mind was largely restored by transfer from a backup file, once it was deemed safe and necessary. That leads us to where we are at the beginning of The Invincible Iron Man Volume 5: Stark Resilient Book I. Tony's aware of most of what transpired in recent times, but from second-hand accounts and reading about them; all his recent memories are gone. His company's gone bankrupt and his personal life is a shambles, but he's back in with the Avengers. The super action of Avengers isn't where this book goes though. Almost as if in rebuttal to a sentiment among some that Marvel (or comics in general) can only do well with the big, fantastic action scenes (not true, as longtime readers already knew) the creative team for this book has crafted a very story-based, very character-based volume with little fighting (when it's there it's good though) and indeed little of what would be typically described as action. This one is actually more about Tony Stark than Iron Man and may well bore readers who aren't into page after page of dialogue (although it must be noted that the art by Salvador LaRocca shows that comic art can also be very compelling depicting 'everyday' situations and events), but if you don't mind a different make and model of superhero story, this is for you.
Tony Stark/Iron Man not only wants to stabilize his life, repair his relationships and rebuild his company, he's also out to save the world. But in a different way than Iron Man usually does. Tony decides to get out of the weapons business altogether--he's bolstered American defense by arming its army but has also watched much of his tech filter into the hands of some very bad people throughout the world--and tackle new horizons. The new focus for Stark Resilient, the new name for Stark Industries? Adapt Iron Man's repulsor technology (RT) for peaceful purposes, give the world free, non-polluting, renewable power and see fossil fuels entirely phased out within thirty years. Iron Man will still be available when heavy hitting is required, but there's going to be more focus on the less combative parts of Tony Stark's empire, or at least that's the plan. Very much in keeping with this theme, Tony's longtime confidante Pepper Potts, who in previous volumes took over for Tony as a kind of Iron Woman, wants to continue her work in her rebranded identity of Rescue: a superhero with no offensive capabilities. If Iron Man is a state-of-the-art armored warrior, Rescue is a state-of-the-art armored paramedic/first responder.
Meanwhile, the Hammer family launches itself back into business as an arms builder to fill the vacuum left by Stark Industries, and manages to buy itself back some legitimacy. Thor drops by with a unique offer. And Tony can't understand why the women in his life are acting so strange around him.
Like I said, this a bit different from many of Marvel's other collections, but it's still a total winner. 10/10.

Invincible Iron Man was the first 'comic' that I had ever bought, I've not been disappointed once.
