Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin
Two issues have been released of Joe Casey and Eric Canete's Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin mini-series. The story's a fun retelling of an old Mandarin story for the modern era. Mandarin's your typical Fu Manchu Asian caricature villain complete with the long fingernails, pointed beard, and "evil" asian eyes...BUT he's got nifty powered rings that each have their own special power!Casey does a good job of telling the story thus far (complete with Iron Man technobabble) and Canete destroys each page with some gorgeous artwork. The rare bits of Eric Canete artwork that I have found have always been pulsing with energy and zesty design. But where once before Canete would regularly sacrifice strong storytelling for the benefit of design, Canete has found a strong middle ground where design and story coexist.Canete has the amazing ability to make Iron Man's suit look cool and energetic. He also does some really interesting things with perspective distortion and line work to convey movement and explosions.I don't purchase many traditional superhero books. But this one is too beautiful to pass up!

damien:I'm glad you dig it. Canete has mentioned that the last piece (it's the cover to Issue #1) is his homage to the beautiful Rocketeer Movie poster. Love that Art Deco style!spleenal:I'm familiar with D'israeli's work. He did a lot of early stuff with Warren Ellis. Nice.-MPB

MuttNicopop (clever name!):80s Ironman...that must have been the Bob Layton or JRJR Ironman. :-)Adi Granov's armor design while working with Warren Ellis was also visually impressive. I never read their Iron Man run (I don't like Granov's panel to panel storytelling) but that Armor had a nice modern, sleek feel. In fact he was hired to help with the IronMan Movie armor design because of his work on the comic. Of course, knowing you, you already knew all that!-MPB
