Why this must be read: There's a scene in the Iron Man movie where Tony Stark arrives back on American soil after escaping his captors in Afghanistan. He's met at the airstrip by Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan. They get into the limo. Pepper tells Happy to go to the hospital. No, says Stark. He wants two things: a cheeseburger and a press conference. Cheeseburger first.
Cheeseburger First is the story of that day, from the POV of Happy Hogan. It is a look at a man who has been so sure of himself, so arrogant, so invulnerable -- and who is no longer that man. It is an almost uncomfortably intimate look at Tony Stark at a time when he is vulnerable. Were it not fiction, it would be a horrifying invasion of privacy. It is a beautifully crafted character piece.
