Hi? Iron Man 500?

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

Umm.... So since there isn't really a Tony Stark community out there and I really really need some input on this. Help, guys?

I just read Invincible Iron Man #500 and apparently it's gone into reprint and everyone is really pleased with it. Umm, what did you think of it? Did you think he got Tony was right in what he would or would not do? Do you know anything about Fraction's future plans with Tony and what are your opinions about them?

Because I just read the issue, and... I can't get over it. I don't want to lead witness or whatever in the post so I'll put my opinions in the comments, but please, I really really need to get this off my chest. Thanks.

I haven't read this one yet, but I'm just going to throw it out there that I hate how the artist draws Tony lately.

I haven't actually read it yet either (I haven't been super fond of Fraction's work), so I kind of need to ask why Carmen Sandiego is on the cover there.

Lol, I had to double check and see what you were talking about. She does look like Carmen Sandiego though... I think that may be one of the Hammer ladies? I'm not 100% sure.

Ugh, yeah... She's not in the issue itself as far as I know, so no idea...

Ok, I had to comment on this because it bugs me so bad and I have no one irl to complain to. Have you ever seen Lost? Do you know what Josh Holloway (the guy that plays Sawyer) looks like? IT IS ALL I CAN SEE WHEN I READ IIM AND IT DRIVES ME BATSHIT INSANE OMG.

You can rant with me. I've not seen Lost, but I'm going equally batshit insane over the artwork, it just doesn't look good... at all.

[ada-bug.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It didn't bother me as much when I first started reading but I always felt like something was off with him, and then it just hit me one day and now I can't shake it. All I see when I look at him is SAWYER and...he's just not Tony Stark to me. Ugh. But yeah. It's not the best out there, by a long shot.


OMG, LOLOL. I totally just googled this to see if I could find any good reference picks and I found this blog entry instead: http://joevince3.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/is-sawyer-from-lost-really-iron-man-one-comic-book-artist-thinks-so/

My rage is renewed...

Not having been into Lost I couldn't place who he looked like but I knew Larroca drew some ugly Tony.

I want my Tony adorable not looking like a creeper. Not even funny RDJ!creeper.

No one in this book so looks good.

Oh wow. I hope that guy is getting some compensation for his image being used.

It makes me sad to see such ugly Tony. I need to pull up some hot Tony to make the sads go away.

Yeeeah... Though back in the 60s it used to be Errol Flynn... Much better than Josh Holloway, that's for sure... I liked quite a bit of Volume 3 Tony, myself...

Also, have you seen the guy who plays Nathan Stark (Tony expy without the suit) in the TV series, Eureka... Does it pretty well too. :D

I don't care for how the artist draws anyone...but every once in a while Tony looks just a little bit like Liam Neeson. And not Liam Neeson at his best (which is a shame).
