5.0 out of 5 stars Major Tom is the hero that SHIELD needs but doesn't deserve.
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017

This is quite simply one of the most amazing comic book mini series I have ever read. In terms of works (somewhat loosely) based on existing properties, it is probably *the* most amazing independent story arc I have ever encountered.

If you have ever had to put down a comic book, and ask 'why didn't <fictional organization> do 'X', this is the book for you. If you are a fan of Adam Warren, this is definitely the book for you. If you have ever had the urge to call your friend that you swear is at least half robot "My Mecha"...then Livewires is the book for you, but you should read this one anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reeeally Faaast!!

An Iron Man story that pulses at a much higher frequency ... While the Golden Avenger fans will find that this tastes different from more traditional stories, it is definitely a treat worth sampling.

The speed, the twists, the teasing references to pop & nerd cultures - they enrich the story all the while (SPOILER AHEAD) the main character is unconscious ...

Definitely worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nonstop high-tech action
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2007

Adam Warren has written some of the best high-concept, high-tech books around from his work on Dirty Pair, to Livewires, to Gen 13, making his a natural for Iron Man.

The story takes place over one night as Iron Man is framed, hunted by SHIELD and has to fight a disembodied hacker in his own systems.

Warren's trademark popculture and high-tech references are on display and Tony Stark is written perfectly.

3.0 out of 5 stars An otherwise good story saturated with techno babble
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2011
There was a lot about this story to like, but the constant use of random techno-sounding words was way beyond annoying. Every sentence seemed to have several obviously made-up adjectives and nouns. This got progressively harder to take as the story went on... At 1/4 of the way through the story I didn't mind and looked past it because I liked how the plot was developing. By 1/3 of the way through it was starting to become hard to ignore, and by 2/3 of the way through it was so annoying I was just trying to skim my way through so I could find out how it ended. Its a shame - I really, REALLY liked some of the concepts in this book, including one of the best executions of a computer gaining sentience I've read in a while (for once a sentient computer didn't turn evil!!). But the babble was poorly done, and it saturated the book to the extent that it wrecked the experience for me. Good to read once though, if only to see the computer's cool persona!

5.0 out of 5 stars Silver Age Marvel Hero + Cyberpunk Ethos = High-Speed High-Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2008
There's a good chance that this trade will not read like any other superhero book you've ever purchased. Adam Warren comes from a background heavy in 80s cyberpunk tales (having done books based on anime classics like Dirty Pair and Bubblegum Crisis, and exerting a large influence from Ghost in the Shell), and that's exactly where he takes ol' shellhead in this fast-paced, extremely unique look at the character's world. Warren manages to distill all of the elements from each side of the equation into something fast paced, humorous, exciting, action packed, shocking, and most importantly, radically different from the status quo that the character has been stuck in for such a long time.

Some people may not like the book because of the heavy hard-fiction and anime influence. Others may find it to be extremely refreshing compared to some of the adventures Iron Man has found himself in over the last few years. If you're looking for an Iron Man story that really tackles the sci-fi elements of his world; you're a fan of Philip K Dick, William Gibson, or Shirow Masamune; or you're just looking for a change of pace, then this trade is a must-buy. If you're just looking for a really good, more-traditional story, then you may want to grab  Iron Man Vol. 1: Extremis  by Warren Ellis or the very-recent  Invincible Iron Man, Vol. 1: The Five Nightmares (v. 1)  by Matt Fraction. Those stories also bring something new to the plate, but their tone and pacing remain more similar to classic Marvel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply, the best Iron Man story I have ever read
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014
Beautiful art and crazy story from the master of anime-cum-cyberpunk über artist Adam Warren, Hypervelocity is a thrill chase beyond the limits of humanity. It's also very clever and rather funny at the same time. Do yourself a favor and give this one a chance.

2.0 out of 5 stars Had a couple cool ideas, but overall was kind of half-baked
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
First of all, the girl on the front cover…she is a computer virus. It all gets even more ridiculous from there. Apparently adding the suffix "-ware" to anything makes it cool and techy sounding. The word "meatware" gets thrown around more than once.

The concept of a partially formed uploaded consciousness growing and existing on its own, though, is a pretty cool premise and is handled well, except for a few absolutely ridiculous attempts at sounding cool and high tech.

This was up to Adam Warren high standards. A great iron man story that I highly recommend. If you like your power armour and bleeding edge hardware this is for you. Very interesting idea on how governments would deal with rogue superhuman with high technology.
