It's kind of amazing, isn't it, how different this Tony is from the Fraction/Gillen version. He's thoughtful, he's smart, he's deeply concerned about his company, he's respectful toward women, he remembers the names of his employees right down to the security guard at the construction site, he turns down an offer of alcohol in favor of sparkling water without making a big angst-fest out of it. There's an obligatory Iron Man vs. bad guys fight in the issue, but the main conflict is Tony deciding whether or not he wants to take Fujikawa to court. I really like this Tony, and it's clear that Busiek likes him too. Why can't we have that now?
And yeah, the art is really pretty. I love the opening page, with Tony strutting his stuff in the khakis and the bomber jacket. He looks so pleased with himself. :-)
