Marvel Team Up V3 issues 1-6: IMAGE HEAVY.

This is one of my all-time favorite comics ever, very full of Steve/Tony, but as I mention it in passing to people, I realize it's not all that well known. So, stop me if you've heard this one.



ONE MORNING the Fantastic Four eats breakfast, as they tend to do, and their home is busted in by a screaming cloaked figure:



as screaming cloaked figures tend to do.

Because all attempts of tricking you into believing this is regular business would fail miserably, as I'm pulling it out for selective reading, I'll just cut to the chase, after a grand battle:



HOLY FUCKING BALLS AMIRITE.



IAMRITE.

Tony's beautiful face what happened to it tony





He beats them pretty bad and oh man this is the worst. Just the worst. There's no way it could get any more worst than it



DDDDDDDD:



The power source he detected is a character we'll meet later, who is currently being attacked by the Hulk, and Tony goes to save him!



Wowie, maybe he's not all that bad? He's still a Tony Stark we know at his core, a good and decent



DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: oh frick no we were right the first time, he is ugly and evil

So he gets the kid (who is a total snot, I'm not sure if any of the scans I'm going to show you properly details it, but he is)



I see you eyeing that phone young man perhaps you are thinking of calling a certain teacher of yours named Peter Parker who you figured out is Spiderman. That would be a wise move.





MEANWHILE X-23 happened to be staring at the right screen when the blip of energy was detected at the mansion. Which leads to:



Der's a fight

JUST THEN
Cap and Natasha are on the Helicarrier and learn about what's happening. Cap's reaction is pretty non-existent, but here's some delicious man meat anyways:


Nnngkjfdgkj look at that back, jesus

lol AND THEN

omgomgomg




lol right to the face, goddamn

SPEAKING OF FACES gkljadgfkl;da









LOL D:



noble last words.





Second favorite page in the whole thing~



First favorite:



A date <3<3<3<3 AAAND that's the end of the first Evil Tony adventure! I was going to include the second one in this post, but this has gotten kind of ridiculously long, so I'll do that like tomorrow or something. : )


Note: This is a lot of scans, but all this was over the course of 6 issues, so I think I did pretty good?

Almost anything would be happier than canon.

*laughs* Neither am I completely. Dr. Strange needs a lot of looking after in a way. Sometimes more than Tony.

Naked Steve Fights A Bear
He wasn't naked when we last talked about this! Do you take euros? *looks for spare cash*

I was just looking at my WIP folder and even the horror story is happier than canon. O.o

Lol I think I managed to write fic that's :('er than canon. *headdesk*

Your WIP folder sounds interesting, though.

I think I managed to write fic that's :('er than canon.

I've written a handful of D: stories in previous fandoms, but Marvel comics doesn't seem to inspire me to write DOOOOOM.

My WIP folder, ugh. There's a CW/SI AU. A horror fic. A Tony gets therapy fic. A Carol and Tony drive really fast cars fic. And a Steve thinks Tony might be going evil fic.

I need to finish some of these...

Re: mua ha ha

I now want a fic where Steven lures Pepper away from Tony with the promise of inter-dimensional vacation time and unlimited shoes.

Duh, his loincloth falls off in the struggle. He's been wearing it pretty low on his hips because Tony can't look at Steve's hipbones and have higher thought at the same time. But that means when he had to throw down with the bear, it got dislodged.

Tony is convinced he was holding it up by sheer willpower and it only fell down cause he was distracted by the bear.

Anyway, he snaps the bear's neck with his bare hands. While naked. There's claw marks on his deltoids, and he's bleeding a little bit and sweating a lot. Tony has to hold himself upright with a nearby tree as all available processing power is directed away from frivolities like standing.

That will be... uh, one dollar twelve cents.

...All of them?

Also, yeah, Tony needs some therapy. Especially during the DoS run. I mean, Doc Samson meant well, but the Mandarin ruined everything! *shakes fist*

Ooh, I need to had Wong to the list of the dead.
D: THAT'S LIKE KICKING A PUPPY!

BAD KIJI!

I really wish the DoS era had continued. I'm sure the Knaufs would have continued to use Maya, Captain Ultra and Doc Samson. All of whom were interesting and NEW additions to the IM supporting cast. And it pains me that CW got in the way of the Tony/Maria/Dugan dynamic, because it was slowly developing into something awesome.

(Unlike Fraction who's ripping off Micheline et al something fierce).

Re: mua ha ha

[identity profile] dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I loved DoS too! And I liked the art. Actually I was a little (read, 'a lot') confused when we got both IM: DoS and IIM at the same time. And then DoS became War Machine! CONFUSION!

And there was some nice character and psychological development. Now all we have is people lining up to beat up fat!Mexican!Josh Halloway!Tony.

Re: mua ha ha

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Wah, the art! I was so thoughtful and lovely. None of this slapdash, photo-referenced, over-saturated, lens-flared-to-hell-and-back, garbage that has apparently become La Rocca's stock in trade. Hey, remember when he didn't suck? What the hell, man?

But to be fair, who wouldn't line up to beat up fat!Mexican!Josh Halloway!Tony.

Who knows? Maybe Steve and Tony will actually make physical contact with each other!

As I recall, at this stage Tony is firmly opposed to a relationship with Steve as it will ruin their friendship. He's gradually coming to believe that it will be much worse for their friendship if he has an aneurysm from thwarted desire. ASFSDLK Steve is showering under the waterfall Tony thought they only did that in hippy shampoo adverts. (actually, it is tricky and not entirely comfortable. Steve is just doing it for effect)

[identity profile] dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Steve's tactical genius mind is a beautiful thing! His mantra is probably 'Sex Or Death!'

Tony will give in soon enough! He brought home bearskins!

(Btw, I added the sabre toothed tigercub!)

When I told my friend the comic book shop guy that Larroca was drawing the current IIM run (in Italy we're waaaay behind) he went all D: HE RUINED FF4 FOR ME AND NOW THIS!

But to be fair, who wouldn't line up to beat up fat!Mexican!Josh Halloway!Tony.
Yeah. :(

Yeah, but Steve is holding out for commitment. Not just a swept-away-by-passion-one-night-stand in the humid jungles of the Savage Land, et cetera. He's all, I am not taking you roughly on these furs while T-Rexes roar in the distance and the night air - are you listening? And Tony is SORRY I kind of zoned out after the bit about taking me roughly.

The sabre-toothed tiger episode is a masterstroke of Steve's. After the bear incident, he observed Tony's glazed eyes and decided it needed to be done again, with more danger. So, sabre-toothed tiger. Then, he insists they adopt the adorable cub, and cuddles it while Tony stares fixedly and wonders what the hell has happened to his life.

With our powers combined, we will be unstoppable.

After the Big Bang.

Also, we have spammed the living shit out of poor Simmy's journal today. SORRY SIMMY.

I think I'll bring a big notebook on my second London adventure. And my porny sketchbook. :D

:D We are going to have so much fun. And it will be post-Big-Bang, so we will be COMPLETELY FREE. I am going to write so many things. First up, Savage Steve! Then Tony In The Dumpster. Polite Sex. The Robot One. Sex Pollen. The Armour One. Our Epic! The one where they go bowling/play pool together suggestively. Also, hey, there should be fic where Steve basically hustles the hell out of everyone at poker, because he learned from the Howling Commandos and Fury always knows where all the aces are.

[identity profile] kijikun.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, number one way to make Stephen Strange go growly on you. And it would effect 616!Strange too. Maybe make him realize he's being an idiot with his own Pepper and Wong.

Re: mua ha ha

[identity profile] kijikun.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You confuse me so much when you called Stephen Strange Steven, I have to remember your talking about Dr. Strange not Captain America. :D

Go! Write! Spread the crack ship!

[identity profile] omendreamer.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know me, but you just broke my brain. My dying squee from this scene was EPIC. Like Steve's hotness level of EPIC.
