This review is written specifically for persons who haven't bought the single issues contained in this volume but who bought the previous collection and or people who bought the individual issues and don't yet own another collection of them in any other form. Is this collection worth it? Definitely. The volume contains high quality paper, solid binding, over-sized pages and a beautiful dust jacket and provides real value for money. Easily superseding the quality of DC's Legion of Superheroes Deluxe editions or Invincible Ultimate Collection HCs for example, Marvel also paid attention to detail and took the admirable step of trying to make this volume fairly identical in feel and quality to the previous volume so that there's some consistency between the two, right down to using red as the color for the inner Boards and pages. Presentation-wise therefore, this gets five stars and is a real steal for the price.Unfortunately, it's the contents that don't fully manage to keep up. Containing issues 20-33 (14 as opposed to the 19 issues in the first volume), this collection contains basically two stories; Stark Disassembled and Stark Resilient. Disassembled is a likeable and fairly entertaining story in which Tony Stark is in a persistent vegetative state after the events of the first volume and needs to be "rebooted" by his most trusted friends and allies, including Thor and Captain America. It's a story that perfectly highlights Tony's hubris, brilliance, vulnerability and narcissism all at once, and moves along at a reasonably good pace, so that, despite the fact that Tony doesn't do a whole lot, there's enough going on around him that the story never fails.
