I thought Kieron Gillen did a nice nod to the Arthurian stories done in the past by David Michelinie and Bob Layton. Iron Man is set against a group of warriors along the Latverian border who model themselves from the Knights of legend using Extremis in there armor.
Tony tracks the Extremis to this group and if offered a challenge to regain the Extremis the group had obtained. He must win in single battle against each of the Knights. I was a little disappointed with Tony's deception and the use of the same old story of a scientist who Tony showed up wanting revenge. I think that was the plot of half the Iron Man comics published so far.
All in all it was not a stellar issue but it was passable. I expect more from Gillen based on his other writings.
Love his art or hate it, Greg Land is Greg Land. Heavily photo-referenced which can make it highly distracting at time, but his actual Iron Man looks great.
