IIM #20-Stark Dissasembled

[sassafras-root.livejournal.com]

Hello! I mostly lurk because I'm a little shy, but I've been really enjoying this comm a lot. Besides the great fic/art, there's really smart discussions here. I was wondering what everyone's reactions to the latest Iron Man comic that came out today. This comm seems pretty Tony-friendly and can discuss his flaws without the kneejerk "he's a douche and should die" reactions.

Without going into any spoilers, I was really, really disappointed. I was looking forward to this arc after reading Fraction's interviews (I was mixed on World's Most Wanted) and I thought it would be good for the character but this first issue left me kind of cold. Plus, the thing with Pepper just seemed off to me.

What were your opinions, if you got the issue? Does anyone have some hopes for what this arc will do for Tony's character? What do you hope the Tony/Steve reunion scene will be like (I'm afraid to get my hopes up for that, too)?

That was Natasha?

Honestly, all the ladies look so much alike in the comic I'm just... confuzzled.

You're making me read the damn thing again...

She was wearing Nat's costume, anyway. Could have been Irene Merryweather (or pick your Marvel redhead) otherwise.

I'm not rereading it, I'm not.
