[Spoilers!] Panel from Inv Iron Man #21

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked this isn't up yet. MAJOR spoilers...





Oh... Steve. I love how even though you're not fully irrigated back into the Universe, and even though your Rebirth #5 isn't out yet, you're still rushing to save your boyfriend BFF. Love it.

I FLAILED FOR HOURS. I also LOVE how it's "Iron Man" and not Tony. Steve is still pissssssed, but, it's TONY, so he comes arunnin'. Even if they don't like each other at the moment, they still stand by each other. There's a word for that.

Married.

yeah, saw this on scans_daily

I... think I've said all I needed to say over there.

Oh, sod it.

It shouldn't be that easy. There, I said it.

LOL, that's why it's hilarious. ;)

Oh hush...

[muccamukk]

And bow before 616!Steve's ability to magically fix everything -g-

Besides which, the characterisation of the reunion is going to very wildly between writers. I'm sure someone will do messy and complicated.

Can I just say? That panel where Pepper runs and hugs him? I had to stop reading. I couldn't read over the sound of my own fanboyish glee.

Honestly, I don't care if it's "too easy" or whatever people are complaining about. SOMETHING GOOD IS HAPPENING IN MAINSTREAM MARVEL COMICS. LOOK. HOPE. I SUPPORT THIS, AND I LOVE IT.

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

God YES! Just YES! And Steve makes everything better. Pepper's raging against Tony, and raging against the world, and she needs some hope, and then BAM. Steve. Everything is better.

Plus, Tony and Cap haven't spoke yet. For all we know, Cap's gonna look at Tony and walk out after he's up. (Cause in my opinion, it's going to be Cap who needs to forgive Tony. Tony's so starved for love and absolution right now that he'll try to "forgive and forget" waaaay easier than Cap.)

I WILL HEAR NO OBJECTIONS TO THIS!

I love that Steve is back. I love that Marvel might be fixing itself. I love that Steve is still made (and he's got a total right to be) but that he's still going to save Tony anyway. Because that is who Steve Rogers is <333333

I love the fact even more that Steve and Tony are finally going to have the chance to rebuild their relationship. I demand a Captain America/Iron Man miniseries that is devoted to the two of them fixing their relationship. And, as a neat little side effect, fixing the world too.

*happy happy flailing*

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

I'm soooo not objecting. I'm just LOLing at HOW MARRIED THEY ARE.

I demand a Captain America/Iron Man miniseries

Oh Causalities of War. Oh I love thee.

So...is this the real Steve? I thought Red Skull was in his body in the Reborn arc and so I was worried for a bit. Then I was too busy flailing to care.

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

Real Steve. Reborn went from five issues to six and it screwed everything up.

[stormseye.livejournal.com]

Not only is Steve back, Rhodey is no longer a cyborg! Less grim dark stuff!

[melisus.livejournal.com]

I always knew continuity was often ignored in comics... but blatantly throwing it out the window like this? I'm just going to shake my head and walk away.

To be fair to Fraction (and Bendis in the NA annual no. 3)

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

the cap mini series should have been done by now, but signals got mixed. So yeah.

[raehimura.livejournal.com]

I actually woke my apartment-mates when I read that panel! Then I stared at it for like 20 minutes before I could read any more.

I tried to muster up some negative feelings about it, about how its so easy and blatantly fan-service. BUT I really couldn't. Things have been so depressing and out of character and generally badly done lately, all across the Marvel world, that something so ... positively Golden Age as Cap riding back in and making everything ok is all that I've been hoping for.

Plus, I had to squee a little over the fact that Steve hasn't even appeared alive again in HIS OWN COMIC, but he's still there when Tony really needs him. Amen to those who've called that marriage! It's almost enough good characterization to make me forgive Fraction.

Also, a note to the continuity-obsessed: I figure that we're supposed to do a little temporal adjusting when a comic gets real-world delayed. Like, we haven't read the events of the end of Reborn yet, but we knows whats going to happen. And when we read the comic, we just assume it happened before this one. Marvel world has weird time anyway, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem for us. Especially when its SO WORTH IT!

I've been out of the loop, is that Steve or Red Skull?

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

...because the expression isn't entirely Cap-like, and he said Iron Man instead of 'Tony'.

[arileo.livejournal.com]

Oh god, there's a scary thought...

Re: I've been out of the loop, is that Steve or Red Skull?

[otherhazards.livejournal.com]

But just imagine the epic fight of real!Cap versus Redskull!Cap with Tony's life as the prize...

Re: I've been out of the loop, is that Steve or Red Skull?

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I interrupted as Steve is there. He's still PISSED at Tony (hence why he's referring to him as Iron Man and not Tony). But Tony's life is more important than Steve's anger; so Steve's going to put it aside to save Tony -- AGAIN -- and then once Tony walks up, Steve's gonna, you know, kill 'em for being retarded ;)

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Step one, save Tony.
Step two, have long and meaningful conversations about ethics, crossing lines, owning one's mistakes, and breaking patterns of behavior. Possibly enroll in couples therapy.
Step three, Heroic Age.

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

I would *pay* to see Couples' Therapy. There should be a whole comic devoted just to that.

[kayyasha-rp.livejournal.com]

Not that I'm not squeeing my head off at the fact that it's Steve, and he's single handedly fixing Invincible Ironman for me, but did anyone else think that the smile he shared with Bucky at the 'The Shield will be fine' panel was hella creepy? -Hopes to god it isn't Red Skull Steve -

If it's simply pissed off Steve, that's fine with me Marvel!

YAY!!!!!!
