Iron Man

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) But maybe the thing that has annoyed me the most are the lack of actual villains that are of real threat. With how many heroes and villains that Norman has under his control that he could send out to find Tony he sends out no name villains like The Hood, Madame Masque, and Shockwave. Really? That...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jim) Back at the church...Henry is being arrested by H.A.M.M.E.R. He remembers how Tony set up an emergency method of contacting their friends. When he is freed, Henry contacts Jim (War Machine) Rhodes. Jim goes in pursuit of Tony. War Machine catches up to Iron Man over an ocean. He wants Tony to surrender. Tony tells him that he knows Osborn will not let him live if he is captured. Tony tells Jim to attack him and make it look good. Otherwise, H.A.M.M.E.R. will start suspecting Jim of being a traitor. Jim says that Tony does not stand a chance against him in an old armor suit. War Machine opens the battle but Tony is able to damage him.   [read the full post]

By LaRevolucion44@aol.com (Rokk Krinn) MARVEL COMICS IMMORTAL IRON FIST #23 INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #11 X-MEN NOIR #4 All right, let's take a look at the new comic books for this week. We are getting a fairly average sized week with 11 comic books. Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? That would be Guardians of the Galaxy #11. This title is always a dependable read and things should be heating up on this title since War of Kings is now officially underway. Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That would be Invincible Iron Man #11. This title has yet to make a positive impression on me. My favorite Marvel character has certainly seen better days.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) MARVEL COMICS IRON MAN DIRECTOR OF SHIELD #34 MIGHTY AVENGERS #19 ULTIMATE ORIGINS #5 We have a monster sized shipment of comic books headed to the Bunker today. We are getting a total of 18 titles. This selection of titles is evenly split between Marvel and DC. I am going to have to take an extra long lunch hour today in order to get a head start on all of these comic books. I have little interest in Mighty Avengers #19. This looks to be yet another boring flashback Secret Invasion tie-in issue. With Secret Invasion lumbering on with little direction or purpose, the various tie-in issues on New Avengers and Mighty Avengers are rapidly dropping in terms of quality. I see no reason for that trend to reverse itself with Mighty Avengers #19.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Stane continues to pour on the attack and proceeds to break down Tony’s armor and beats Tony into the ground. Stane takes off his helmet and tells Tony that he is going to kill Tony the same way Tony killed Stane’s father. Tony replies that Obadiah Stane killed himself. Stane 2.0 cries like a bitch telling Tony to shut up. Stane 2.0 says that Tony does not get to say his father’s name. Stane then blasts Tony’s head off. We see Stane 2.0 standing over Iron Man with Iron Man’s head blasted off. Stane 2.0 strikes a pose like Darth Vader at the end of Episode III and screams “He’s dead! Tony Stark is dead!” Stane then looks at the reader and asks “Who’s next?” (Scintillating.)   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Thank god, Marvel decided to cancel Iron Man: Director of SHIELD and give us this piece of fluff in Invincible Iron Man. I would hate to have to continue reading an Iron Man comic book that actually challenged my brain and required me ...

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Marvel continues to flood the market with Iron Man as we get yet another Iron Man mini-series with Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas. Jon Favreau, the director of Iron Man, is handling the writing duties on this title as Adi Granov handles the art chores. I am looking forward to Favreau’s story. Favreau gave us a fantastic version of Tony Stark and clearly gets Tony’s character. I’m confident that we will get a good read with Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1. Let’s go ahead and hit this review. I love Favreau’s handling of Tony’s character. Marvel should replace Fraction with Favreau over on Invincible Iron Man. I know that Favreau could never handle the requirements of a monthly title due to his career, but, c’mon, Favreau simply gets Tony’s character better than...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) We cut back to the Helicarrier where Tony mentions his second nightmare. It is when the Iron Man armor becomes cheap and easily replicable. Because as it stands, there are two armors: Tony’s hi-tech Extremis armor and Rhodey’s War Machine armor which isn’t as good as Tony’s armor. Tony then goes to his lab. Tony says that his third nightmare spins out from his second nightmare. That someone other than Tony or Rhodey will pilot the Iron Man armor. Tony says that he is not thrilled with people with suits of armor that are similar to the Iron Man armor. That during the Armor Wars, Tony’s tech was sold to the underworld and being used to kill people.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn MARVEL COMICS It appears to be the week of Iron Man. The movie debuts last weekend and now we get two new Iron Man titles this week. Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1 should be a fun read. Jon Favreau, the director of Iron Man, is the writer for this mini-series. Since I loved Favreau’s version of Tony Star...

By Rokk Krinn Iron Man rockets to the Baxter Building. Nobody is home, so Tony helps himself to Reed’s lab. We cut back to Sentry taking down the Venom possessed Wasp with one punch. We cut back to Iron Man thinking about the Skrull situation and we get the same inner dialogue that we have read a million times before. Who on his team is a Skrull? What do the Skrulls want? Were the Skrulls behind the Civil War? Where they behind Captain America’s death? Where the Skrulls behind the creation of the Nintendo Wii? Tony thinks how he will not let the Skrulls take over his planet and kill his friends. The New Avengers immediately begin to help with the clean up and recovery process. Iron Man approaches Clint giving Bendis another opportunity to bash on Iron Man. Clint spits...   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn We cut to Tony in his penthouse at Stark Tower. Suddenly, captain America appears before him. Captain America attacks Tony. Tony says that Steve is dead and he can’t be real. Captain America takes off his mask and says he is a figment of Tony’s imagination. Captain America then says “The writing is Malukkian.” Iron Man then arrives at the hospital where Paragon is located. There Iron Man meets up with Captain Ultra who is responsible for the Nebraska team. Ultra tells Iron Man that he heard Gadget was Tony’s protégé. Iron Man responds that he didn’t know her. That a million gifted kids who cobbled together armor in their garages sent him letters and considered them his protégés. Tony remembers getting letter from Gadget when she was a little kid.   [read the full post]
