IRON MAN: DIRECTOR OF SHIELD #30

Have you ever brought a book home from the comic shop, tried to sit down and read it and just could not find a way to physically read it?

I wasn't impressed with Stuart Moore's first issue of Director of SHIELD, but it wasn't terrible. This second issue, I just couldn't sit through a single page. I eventually just started flipping through the pages, one after another, reading bits and pieces as I went a long, and not a single thing in this issue stood out to me or made me want to even bother reading a single page.

While Countdown was bad, it was possible, through morbid curiousity, to sit through the issue and read it. This issue of DoS just bored me to tears through the first few pages and I just gave up half way through. Iron Man fights a giant, floating, nanomachine-created "brain", gets taken down by Paladin, a scrub, third rate mercenary, and that's about all that happens from what I could subject myself to reading.

Verdict - Avoid It. I'm done with Director of SHIELD. With the Knaufs gone and hastily thrown together fill-ins that are set to go on indefinitely, it looks like the this Iron Man title is on the cutting room floor at Marvel, either until Nick Fury possibly takes over or they cancel this title in favour of the movie Iron Man version over in Invincible.
