On the heels of the movie we were treated by the Jon Favreau written and Adi Granov illustrated Viva Las Vegas miniseries first issue. The issue went fast. I mean really fast. I’m a slow reader and try and soak in the art, and it seemed like it only took a few minutes. But that doesn’t mean it was bad.
Favreau definitely seems to understand the character as again yet again it felt like it was old school Stark we were seeing, cracking the quick jokes and being carefree. Of course there was the gratuitous ladies thrown in, and it was an interesting twist they were after Iron Man and not Stark.
So far there isn’t much revealed about the enemy, other than an ancient Asian spirit that will be a dragon. So far all we’ve seen is a giant skeleton (I think its metal) of a dragon that has attracted lizards to Vegas and overrun the city as the largest Vegas casino is about to open.
And that was really it. It started off with a bit of a bang as Stark thwarted a terrorist on a plane, but that again went very quick.
The pace of the issue hurt it more than anything. With only three issues to go I am a bit worried not a lot is going to happen in this series, but the set up seems to be out of the way. The issue wasn't bad, but definitely lacked substance, so hopefully the following issues will be better.
