Territorial Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is it me or does it seem like these outfits are straight out of the Dave Cockrum x-men?http://youtu.be/9_T3x8qBoic Nope, it's not just you.

Territorial Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ugh. Just read an AP article about Iron Man. Apparently, Tony Stark... is adopted And Howard and Maria Stark... have a biological son, who has been hid away from the world by a rogue android, given alien tech, and maybe powers. Did I mention "Ugh"? I can't emphasize that enough. I like Gillen well enough, but this seems dumb. I doubt it will stick, but it can't be retconned away fast enough.

Matt D Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The Iron Man story came off really well. Part of that was because earlier parts of the story made you doubt the "self-made" aspect of the character and this doesn't just alleviate those concerns (both for Tony and the reader) but it goes the other way with it. I really think Gillen did a great job with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Could be worse. He could have brain tissue running through all his skin which makes him super-smart but in constant pain dulled only by alcohol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 It's amazing how Howard Stark's adopted son looks so much more like him than his biological son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It's amazing how Howard Stark's adopted son looks so much more like him than his biological son. That's probably why he adopted him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It's amazing how Howard Stark's adopted son looks so much more like him than his biological son. Was it written in such a way that it could later be retconned to have Howard Stark secretly arranging to adopt a child that he had as the result of an affair?

Bustronaut Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 All Tony found out is that he's adopted, his biological parents are "black holes". In other ruminations - Is it just me or is "Winter Soldier" a tad too on-the-nose as a code name for a cold-war operative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MushroomJones Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Kind of bummed the Waid Daredevil series ends this December. I guess it is time for me to get into it then. The wrap up to the storyline is in February. Waid hinted in an interview that since DD's 50th anniversary is coming up, he had something planned.

Cliff Hanger Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 All caught up on Avengers Arena. Still annoyed with a couple of the deaths, but I can't deny that it's been well enough written to transcend it's "let's run a Battle Royale with superteens" concept. Looking forward to the final two issues and to Undercover, even though I'm pissed to have gotten so many spoilers from NYCC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I think there's been an ongoing Daredevil in some form forever. I know. It was Kevin Smith's run on it that got me first interested in comcis and that's when Daredevil becamse my favorite character. I'm saying it needs to continue. It's been a constant in my life since I was a freshmen in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
